So true… when we say ‘save the planet’, that’s bullshit… the planet will be fine without us - even if we turn it radioactive for a few tens or hundreds of thousands of years … … it’s actually about saving us … if we’re worth saving! 😜

Keir Starmer's very first use of AI should be to ask how working towards rejoining the EU could boost the UK economy. No matter which frontier AI model you ask (Claude 3.5 Sonnet, O1, GPT-4o, Claude Gemini, Grok etc.) they all agree unanimously that rejoining would bring Britain economic gain.

By being “on the side of the extreme global right, against the interests of the British people” Badenoch’s Tories will be “pushed into the political wilderness” They think they’re reading the room. But the room is a far right toilet. Most of us are repelled by it. open.substack.com/pub/adambien...

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer. These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP. You can follow his remarkable reporting here👇 www.instagram.com/ethanswopeph...
A street is orange from flames and you can see the high winds in the palm trees. Sparks fly down the streetA fire truck is engulfed in parks and flames are seen on the hill. The entire photo is red and orange from the fireA fireman with a hose runs across the front of a house in flames in the backgroundThe inside of a house is a ball of flames. The only visible thing inside is a burning Christmas tree

I see three distinct phases. Pre-Fox, when opinion was diverse but actual facts were indisputable. Fox/Trump, where objective truth was subjected to the false equivalence of ‘alternative facts’ (ie lies). And now, where media & tech platform owners collude with him to drown out the truth altogether.
