As a side note to this: The best thing that Andy Burnham’s Labour Party can do right now is reach out to both Ed Davey and Zack Polanski. Whether he needs them for a coalition after the next GE or not, now is the time to get both the Lib Dems and Greens on board - especially around care.

Sådan ser et knæfald for en religion ud. Det er ikke når religiøse båtnakker vil bestemme over egne kropsdele som f.eks hvem de giver hånd til. Det er, når andre menneskers tilstedeværelse eller eksistens generer dem og det er de andre, der skal rette ind. #dkpol www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...

Its basically the main Russian strategy to bomb Ukraine's energy infrastructure during Winter, especially after their summer offensive on the front lines were a total failure. Russia has no other plan. 🙏

Klobuchar: “For a US senator to have false information and imply, based on a confusion about the name of a team … and imply that you were in another city, that you were somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia, and then call you a dirtbag, is something that deserves an apology.”

AI brings genuine benefits. Medical research, better understanding of complex systems. Useful. Keep that. Making 25% of us permanently unemployed and rendering pics of Fat Johnny Depp is not useful. It harms the planet and society. If it costs users money, it will stop. So tax the compute.

Meanwhile we undermine every attempt at controlling climate change, just so you can write a complaint to Tesco without having to think about punctuation. Which, let's face it, is what most of us use it for. It's basically free to use at that level.

Just tax the compute. Datacentre? Cool. Fund your own power generation and water reservoirs, and then pay tax for every computational act your datacentre does. And we'll use the tax income to offset societal and job damage. Overnight, AI becomes something AI giants are desperate to restrict.

Russia's Matryoshka disinformation campaign has shifted to the US elections, where it's making wild claims about random Democratic Party candidates. They've also started one of their jigsaws again, which is nearly complete. Not sure if it's a specific person, but at least my face isn't on the poo.
The image is a crude satirical illustration set against broad red and cream stripes that run down the background and continue across the floor.
On the left stands a shaggy grey donkey, facing the viewer, with large upright ears, a pale muzzle and several white stars across its chest.
On the right is a blonde woman wearing black glasses, a blue dress with puffed sleeves, a white apron and black high heels. She leans forward with one hand on her hip and holds an oversized wooden spoon in the other. The spoon is coated in a brown substance, which also appears smeared around her smiling mouth and chin.
A large pile of faeces sits between them in the foreground, surrounded by flies and rising green and yellow stink lines.
Three horizontal black bands mark missing sections of the reconstructed image: one across the upper ears and hair, a wider band across the donkey’s muzzle and the woman’s waist, and a narrow band near the bottom.
