Labour MPs will do anything, including subjecting their staff to abuse and racism, rather than leave X the Everything App
Text from a London Centric article: "Having a public profile is not always easy. Butler told London Centric that a combination of AI and social media has created a “national health emergency” and the abuse she received on Twitter/X meant she now leaves the site to her staff. She also told Zeteo UK she would want to see Metropolitan Police commissioner Mark Rowley lose his job."

This line is highlighted: "the abuse she received on Twitter/X meant she now leaves the site to her staff."Chidi in the Good Place saying "Okay. But that's worse. You do get how that's worse, right?"

I'm recreating a few bits of London art for #CitiesSkylines II and thought I'd go the extra mile by encoding wind data into this this 18m-long fabric sculpture (strung between lamp posts in situ). Artwork: Sari Garden by Clare Jarrett www.sculptureinthecity.org.uk/artworks/sar...

“The company’s profits had been inflated by a practice of helping outside companies finance purchases of its equipment” - this is about Lucent in the Dotcom boom, remind you of anyone in 2026?

If you find yourself on the receiving end of this, a mute list with things like "twitter", "musk", "trump", "farage", "ICE agent", etc goes a long way to making your timeline a far nicer place. You don't need to subject yourself to psychic damage, and if a new topic of outrage crops up? Mute it too!

Exceptional series of fuck-ups by the Guardian newsletter this morning. Can you spot the errors in this caption and lede?

Lede: In August I attended a meeting of campaigners and councillors in the east London borough of Tower Hamlets, where the government has recently approved plans for a 5,200 sq mile datacentre on the site of an old brewery off Brick Lane. The meeting, held on a sunny Monday evening, went on for three hours, in a stifling hall so packed that organisers had to create an overflow room. It’s a testament to how divisive the subject has become.

It's so weird because why are they all obsessed with having 'photos' (ie generated images) of their food? I don't need to see it I just need you to describe it! It's this bizarre 'I can, so I will, so I have to' mindset. Just give the names, descriptions and prices in Word or a Canva doc. C'mon.
