I'd have more respect for racists if they just said "I am a racist." All this dancing around "they won't integrate" and "legitimate concerns" is mealy-mouthed bollocks. Just grow a spine. Have the courage of you fucking awful convictions, and stop assuming we're all as stupid as you are.

Oh man. Like 50% of my style is lifted from or at least deeply inspired by Matt's work, from his sprawling multi-series Bugtown comics, to his interstellar fixer Kief Llama, to his all-alien Konny & Czu.

There is still not a single good frictionless consumer-facing AI app with a real-world use case I'm aware of. Can someone more plugged in please let me know when the Chinese femcels cook up a working vampire boyfriend goonbot on DeepSeek, because I'm about 10:1 that will be the first example.

No no no. The solution to this is NOT placing restrictions on women, nor limiting the choices available to women. (And women are not "sent" to university, they apply, study and get accepted.)

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

New York. Passers-by were asked: What is the first thing they'd do if they were completely safe. Every single woman replied: Take a walk by myself (some added: in the evening, at night, in a park, etc). Most men didn't understand the question.

I've been a member of the lobby for well over a decade. Not a single one of my lobby colleagues has said a word about the Conservatives banning me from their conferences, without any explanation. Contrast with the US where even Fox News stood in solidarity when Trump banned news outlets he disliked

The ban comes just weeks after the Conservative leader called Reform's barring of critical journalists from their conference an "authoritarian" attack on the free press

We're repeatedly told that asylum seekers pose a threat to the good people of our country... Reading about the threatening and violent treatment of elderly and open minded locals in Crowborough I get the impression that the real threat comes from closer to home. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

On Facebook and other platforms, people
who are known to support the asylum
seekers have been threatened with acid
attacks, petrol bombs and rape. The dossier.
which has been seen by the Guardian, also
claims that several local businesses have
been threatened by far-right agitators, along
with a church where some asylum seekers
worship. One man was punched in the throat
after he held up a "Love Thy Neighbour"
sign, while an elderly couple were falsely
accused of supporting sex offenders. In yet
another case, a 92-year-old church volunteer
was reportedly woken at 3am for two nights
in a row by a man standing outside her
home, shining a torch through her window
and shouting abuse

I just blocked someone who was advertising a porn site (not judging, just not interested) and now they are adding me to lots of abusive lists... @bsky.app can you stop this nasty use of lists? People I've blocked shouldn't be able to add me to lists, & if they do, I should be able to remove myself.

We can't even get these corporations and billionaires to pay *basic* taxes. The idea that they're going to start paying enough in tax for us all to be given sufficient UBI for a nice life pursuing our hobbies is a fantasy. It's far more likely that a lot of people are just going to starve.

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.

I really hope you are right. And that the billionaires won't just throw enough money at the politicians to convince them to delay indefinitely – like with Climate Change. Both issues are existential.

It doesn't mean anything. Today, someone will adjust its data package and tomorrow it will say something different. Promoting the AIs when they get something right, encourages people to think the machine is factual and objective. It's a database. It "knows" whats been inputted.

This reminds me of the taliban destroying the buddha statutes at Bamiyan. Although this carving was even older. It is the attitude of someone who doesn't understand, or value, the thread of culture that binds us.

I do wish they'd get an editor to review their speeches. What does "wins in the AI revolution" mean? A revolution to remove/overturn what? Who is revolting? A win over who? What does this win look like? You're the fucking Chancellor – use your words properly. Your speech should make sense.

So tired of this wide-eyed-innocence from Republicans: Of course it's illegal, probably treason, and of course you all already know but you're too scared to say anything. And now, weeks before the midterms, you're pretending you've just noticed-but-sadly-can't-confirm to cover yourselves. Cowards.
