One thing I missed in the (understandable and correct) storm about the Zionism is Racism motion at Green conference is that one of the tidal wave of other motions passed was a Stop Killing Games motion…

If simply possessing all the required information but never reading it was enough, the textbooks I bought in first year of uni but never opened would have been a lot more help to me

Incredibly, just blocked an account for an AI response to this (posted literally two seconds after I hit send on the original post, incredibly obvious AI language generation)

The fundamental issue with 99% of AI in education use cases is that they don’t seem to understand the very, very key point that learning things does in fact require a human being to process the information they’re trying to learn

Such a good Nobel Prize! Francis Halzen is a great person, and “let’s turn the Antarctic ice sheet into a neutrino detector” is the kind of idea that deserves a Prize if you can pull it off.

The Iron Dome largely protects against large volumes of short range missile attacks. Does Kemi think.... France is about to go for us? Or Ireland? A sudden upsurge in violent Welsh nationalism?

I've said this before but it remains extremely funny to me that two of the most successful British businesses of the past few years are Warhammer and OnlyFans, meaning British politicans are (for differing reasons) extremely reluctant to talk up some of their biggest corporate success stories.

New least favourite category of people: those who stand in front of the doors on a busy train where there is clearly space further down, refuse to move to let you on, and then get shirty when you have to barge past them

At this point what are you even doing. Are you going to get an AI to hang out with your friends for you? To watch your favourite TV series? To listen to music for you?

Even if a leader’s personal favourables are higher than those of their party, that doesn’t make them a good leader if the reason their party polls so badly is a direct result of them deliberately driving it off a cliff!

My least favourite thing about party conference season, regardless of which one it is, is the people who turn up with the graphic anti-abortion posters in an attempt to traumatise people in the cause of Christian fundamentalism

Reform MP Sarah Pochin sees a question of "two tier justice" in imprisoning a man who made + set off a pipe-bomb in the street for political ends Pochin must iimagine there are bomb-making terrorists we let off for other causes (ie you can explode pipe bombs for climate/Palestine with impunity)

Choosing to believe the Tory tapestry happened because when someone brought the idea up in a meeting, a colleague attempted to gloss over it and move on but was misheard as saying “Sew, anyway”

Also, presumably this means that there’s at least one person in CCHQ whose formal responsibilities now include “generate poorly-judged historical parody AI slop”

A man builds an IED. He sets it off in a busy public street. Shrapnel flies about hitting cars, homes and a child's bedroom. It's a miracle nobody is injured. And Reform MP Sarah Pochin calls his imprisonment "disproportionate" and "two tier justice."

It does raise this point of two-tiered
justice..

Reform's Sarah Pochin believes the
sentence handed to the 64-year-old who
blew up a ULEZ camera was
disproportionate'.

This is unsurprising, particularly when you combine it with how popular public ownership/control is in isolation as a policy. One of the lessons learned from the 2017 election that a lot of people seem to have memory-holed.

Great investigation - and makes the willingness of the Government to provide cover for City seem even more poorly judged

Still nowhere near enough for an early election to be plausible imo - but a very promising trend

An inflation link for the state pension makes significantly more sense than what we have now. The 2029 manifesto will be an interesting one. It’s already slated to include: - Removing the triple lock - A solution on social care - Electoral reform
