I'm increasingly frustrated that people who are anti-AI aren't being taken seriously, and taking a page out of my thoughts on why the anti-trans backlash got as far as it did I'm starting to think the anti-AI side isn't extreme enough.

There's something else going on with these mainstream music critics that in another context would be called industry capture. This weird insistence that people need to like whatever the sorry remnants of the music industry is puking out seems like a symptom of access journalism.

The Ukrainian capital of Kyiv now feels like a frontline city - due to constant attacks by jet-powered Russian drones, and a shortage of air defence missiles. My report

A new, more dangerous kind of Russian drone has rendered the city’s air defences less effective

You need to appease your abusive parents. You need to be friends with people who don't care whether you live or die. You need to listen to this song that's so popular no one has heard of it or else you're a snob. Why don't people read the news anymore?

Claiming to have never heard Ella Langley's record-setting country song 'Choosin' Texas' is similar to saying, 'I listen to anything but country.'

Don't know what to say anymore
Protesters amassed in Gosport, Hampshire, after rumours spread that the migrants might be brought ashore by lifeboats there. Police closed off access roads to the marina as activists rallied by Thomas on YouTube arrived to attempt to block the boat’s arrival. Crowds of masked protesters confronted a line of police to chants of “let them drown” sung by a child over a megaphone.

ProPublica spoke to dozens of people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote:
Handwritten notecard. Prompt at the top asks: What object was most devastating for you to lose, and how have you been coping? Answer below: Dentures. Were thrown away and coping isn't somthing I can do. It’s made me feel ugly, unworthy, can’t go get a job with no teeth. So how can get off the streets until another pair can be made?
