One of the principles of the Green Party is that you should treat members in "good faith" and assume the best of intentions on their part. It's curious how that expectation of "good faith", honesty and good intentions is immediately tossed aside when a trans woman speaks out.

Of the people I know who use AI 100% of them are either hosting it themselves or would simply stop if they had to pay for it. Makes sense Nvidia would look to close off at least one of those options I guess.

Well, well, well, I KNEW that the hounding of Arday was gonna get connected back to the TESCREAL bozos somehow. See this "paper" by the guy who hired Cofnas at Ghent University. Reminder "dysgenic" is the opposite of "eugenic," they mean Black people and other undesirables reproducing too much.
The dysgenics objection to longtermism

Strong longtermism maintains that how we should act morally is determined almost entirely by
the expected effects on the welfare of our descendants existing thousands if not millions of years
into the future, who might include both other humans and any artificial agents with a comparable
or higher moral status that we end up creating. It is based on three key assumptions: (i) that our
descendants will have a moral status that is at least as high as ours and therefore should not have
their welfare discounted by us; (ii) that there is a good chance that these individuals will vastly
outnumber us; and (iii) that we can do things here and now that can be expected to positively
shape the long-term trajectory of humanity. The aim of this contribution is to suggest that authors
such as Will MacAskill and Hilary Greaves have been too optimistic about all these assumptions as
a result of having ignored evidence that the populations of post-industrial countries are becoming
less intelligent due mostly to the negative relationship that has emerged within these societies
between intelligence and fertility and to the proclivity of intelligent people to delay parenthood.

BASH BACK @bashback.bsky.social · 26/07/2026
Here is our full response to Lord Walney's article calling for us to be proscribed as a terrorist organisation:
Lord Walney (former government advisor on ‘political violence’) has published a Times article calling for BASH BACK to be ‘proscribed’. this would officially designate BASH BACK as a terrorist group
and make it a crime to support us.

We completely reject the idea that we are a "terrorist" group. WE ARE a non-violent direct action group that demands the total liberation of trans people, and opposes the rising tide of anti-trans bigotry.

As our action guide states: “we do not condone causing physical harm to any human being”. 

We take action to defend ourselves and our community from violence.threatening a non-violent group of queer activists with proscription, the day after a horrific right-wing terrorist attack on berlin pride, smacks of cruel double standards.

the british state has encouraged fascist thugs to rampage through the streets, sat back as far-right parties surged in membership and done nothing as muslims, disabled people and queers are subjected to  violence and threats by the right.

yet its lackeys like walney roar into action to label bash back as “terrorists” for engaging in non-violent direct action.

proscription is a tool of control wielded by the ruling class against those who challenge their power.

I recall the idea lots of very important people might have been engaged in secret bad behaviour with Jeffrey Epstein was once regarded as a silly conspiracy theory. Not because it was improbable - there was plenty to indicate it was true - but because important people wouldn’t do that stuff.
A Bloomberg News analysis of Skype messages, flight records and other documents released by DOJ show that from the time of his release from jail in 2009, through to his arrest in July 2019, Epstein ran a trafficking network that spanned the globe. www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...
