The framing of the 5th biggest party in terms of MPs being in crisis because they came 2nd in a by-election in a constituency Labour has never lost is about as absurd as it gets. Same with the ridiculous amount of coverage on the conference motion.

Is the Zionism practised by the current and almost certainly any future Israeli government not just racist, but supremacist? Yes, it is. Why do these concern trolls keep trying to bring "bdut this particular form of Zionism isn't racist" into the debate? Are you really this stupid?

Think you can sum up the "Zionism is racism" debate thusly: Is Z inherently racist? No. Is the version of "Zionism" practised by the Israeli government and whoever who will be the next government not just racist, but supremacist? Yes. Is a two state solution viable therefore? No.

The City "explanation" is just brilliant, isn't it. Not only that they seemingly haven't realised the appeal has to be based on new evidence, but that they think saying the money came from the Abu Dhabi government rather than the sponsors makes it better. Yes, we know you're kleptocrats!

Far bigger signifier of being far-right/fascist than any of these things is having an Israeli flag in your user name. Small c conservatives/One Nation Tories could do all these things and still be perfectly pleasant people to talk to, but introduce that flag and you know full well the reality.

Any number of things immediately come to mind on the City ruling: 1) Surely UEFA have to re-open their investigation 2) False accounts have been filed and fraud has to have been committed also 3) Sovereign wealth funds/state actors should be immediately and retrospectively banned from club ownership

Apart from being very funny, do think Danny "Tommo" being remanded sends a valuable message in general that if individuals film/live stream themselves committing crimes and then are even more stupid to deny it, they will not be granted bail and will spend months in prison till they can be tried.

On the Fairford incident, think you can read between the lines of the farmer and Trump's comments, the former saying there was more than the number arrested which she saw, and Trump with his "we've been watching these people for a long time" and realise this another part entrapment plot.

I'm sure the French will take kindly to British politicians demanding to know why the police/CPS acted to charge the leader of a fascist militia who attempted to drown their official, definitely the kind of thing that would encourage them to aid us in stopping small boats from launching to here.

I made this analogy the other day but it’s like when the velociraptor turns the doorknob. That’s a surprise, sure, but the velociraptor is supposed to be behind an electric fence. OpenAI didn’t even put up the electric fence. Literally more negligent than Jurassic Park.

And again, this doesn't make any logical sense, not least because the people she is trying to appeal to will never truly accept her because of the colour of her skin. If it wasn't so alarming because of the type of politics it points towards coming our way it would be hysterical.

Don't think the new Bloc Party album is quite as bad as the Pitchfork review makes out, as it does get better as it goes on, but the first few tracks are execrable and Kele's lyrics are definitely some of the worst he's come up with. It's just so limp is the real problem with it.

The thing I find most frustrating about this is always the "they're not hard right" framing. No, they're not, and part of this is just the usual no one wants something they didn't ask for plonked right where they live, but the suggestion these men are potential rapists absolutely is vile.

Never has there been a bigger waste of time and money than the Lucy Letby inquiry, as whether it's in a couple of years or 20 years, there's going to have to be multiple ones into how various arms of the state conspired to blame one woman for failures manifest across the whole NHS.

I think one of the biggest ironies of this is that the Sonnet model of Claude at least is a such a fusspot in what it refuses to do, like will actively put its foot down and refuse to write a prompt for transferring even hair colour if you feed it an image of the wrong person, while they do this.

"AI" - chatbots that wake up, "set their own goals," and "spontaneously" start hacking servers - is fake. It doesn't have "a 10% chance of ending the human race." The Hugging Face hack isn't a mysterious, supernatural occurrence.

This, from an Anthropic employee, either reflects a lack of imagination or is evidence that this is all just lies. If you were really that scared, you'd pull the plug on all the servers and wipe everything from ARIN, APNIC, LACNIC, AFRINIC, and RIPE NCC. No more internet; problem solved.

I would burn my equity to the ground in a heartbeat for a 1% higher chance we make it out of this situation alive. I expect a great many of my colleagues across the industry would as well.

I promise you, we are actually just fucking scared, it's not galaxy brained marketing.
