BBC’s coverage of Reform’s welfare plans is frankly bizarre. Headlines in Ten, leading on some radio networks. Reform are not even the official opposition and the plans have less credibility than Count Binface. Will BBC News do the same for Lib Dem and Greens policy two years out from an election?

Microsoft is planning to build three massive AI data centres in Leeds. It’ll drain thousands of litres of water from the River Aire and become the city's biggest carbon emitter. We can still stop the council's final sign-off, but we need more voices. Add yours: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

Is it ever morally acceptable to keep pets? In this episode of @ethicsuntangled.bsky.social, Jim speaks to Angie Pepper and Richard Healey who explore how power, control, and harm shape our relationships with animals. ahc.leeds.ac.uk/ethics-maste...
A promotional graphic for the podcast “Ethics Untangled: Everyday Ethics with the Experts.” The episode title reads “Should We Stop Keeping Pets?” and features Angie Pepper and Richard Healey. The image includes three discussion prompts: whether it is morally acceptable to keep pets, whether relationships with animals involve power and control, and what new ways of relating to animals might look like. The IDEA Ethics Centre logo appears at the bottom, indicating the podcast producer.

My latest article in @theconversation.com explores some of the ways using AI may undermine intimacy. AI might promise to make things easier but I suggest there is value in being curious, figuring things out, and failing, especially in intimate life. theconversation.com/as-ai-plays-...
theconversation.com
As AI plays a bigger role in relationships, true intimacy is getting lost
The normalisation of AI to mediate and shape intimacy arguably erodes self-curiosity.

The major sin of AI writing: it injects the poison of boredom - of the mind-numbing kind - into life. That's unforgivable. This piece explains why: "The tone is bland; individual word choices are baffling; the structure lacks sense; key pieces of the argument are missing; facts are false."
