Genuinley no hard feelings my end. I have no animosity towards anyone. Have enjoyed my time with greens. I'm just out on this decision. I'll always be pro green. Just not with this call. 👍

I'm the same as you. They aligned with my core views but this is just unbelievable to me. I can't spend weeks and months defending it. The real winner will be all the other mainstream parties

I cancelled membership. This is the most spectacular own goal. The public and press will now equate green party as anti-Jewish. And yes it complex and more nuanced but that's not how it'll be framed and how could they not have seen this... Just unimaginably dumb

Yeah was a tough call. But I don't want to spend next 6 months debating this one issue. But respect to all still there. I've no animosity towards anyone

I think you can do that without this vote. It's now going to be framed rightly or wrongly that the green party is anti Jewish and anything else will be drowned out. Which I'm incredibly gutted about

And should you are entirely right to have your opinion too. I'm just sad that green party is going to be tearing itself apart and right wing will just lap it up.

It's the vote itself. It will make zero impact on anything except the green party. For weeks and months this will be the only issue talked about. There is a literal climate crisis happening right now and it won't get mentioned at all because of this motion. Its just a completely idiotic thing to do.

I had a 16 year old lad cancel a house party as he felt if would be inappropriate....🤣 🤣 I mean couldn't we have shown respect by drinking WKD and playing Crash Bandicoot?

For this working in mental health care have you seen AI (chatgpt etc) affecting people on the ground. Am seeing more cases of people with mental health issues using it and it causing damage. Saying that people are fine or that they are superhuman. Wonder where it will lead... #mentalhealth #Chatgpt

This is a excellent and worrying podcast. Wondered do OpenAI have any mental health nurses/psychiatrists/psychologists working for them and analysing their chats or logs. Seems like that would be very much needed #Chatgpt #openai #mentalhealth

There appears to be concerted effort to discredit "mental health" generally. I wonder if it's paving way to pull funding for all mental heath. Far easier to say MH is being over prescribed than look at some of the systemic issues that are causing it....like poverty

The only time it's ever been useful is the rugby world cup used to make the 3rd place winner get automatic qualification for the next World Cup which made it of actual value to win.

Why are there so many fake quotes on the "other" platform now? Every story especially football will have a semi believable quote from someone that's completely fake. It's infuriating. World Cup will be carnage. #fakequotes #football #worldcup

Excellent article. Was watching Short Circuit last night and wonder how much of the obsession AI companies has with "life". Is because of it.... (yes I am blaming short circuit and sequel for the destruction of the planet)

I wonder if it's timing as in the technology not been widely available long enough to have concrete numbers on cases. Anecdotally have not seen any MH cases directly related to AI
