Ed Sheeran dropped Macklemore for saying "Free Palestine." Then his entire backing band walked out. Beoga had played with him for over a decade. Legal distance is not moral distance. Full post on LinkedIn. www.linkedin.com/posts/andrew...

Data Centres, Drought, and Democracy: The Price of AI This summer, seven areas of England are officially in drought. It's the driest year since 1976 — a 50-year low. I was born in 1975. My daughter is seven. I look at this summer and I think: what world are we leaving her?

Meta, Fujitsu, and the Law That Fails to Protect Us
Yesterday I wrote about Meta's $18 billion settlement — a sum that sounds like punishment until you realise it's less than 1.1% of their market value, and their shares rallied on the news.

Meta settled for $18 billion. The fine is a (very dangerous) joke. The real story is what they've agreed to do next — and it's not about protecting children. They're now legally compelled to scan your messages, photos, and behaviour to "verify" who's a teenager.

I use AI every day. But not how you'd think. I write the draft. The AI reviews it. Argues with me. Challenges my biases. Keeps me honest when brain fog makes thinking hard. The thinking is mine. The voice is mine. The AI just helps me do it better.

AI companies are buying millions of physical books, scanning them, and destroying the originals. It's legal. It's wrong. I've written about why this matters — and what we can do about it. www.linkedin.com/pulse/annihi... #AIEthics #BookBurning #DigitalEthics #Fahrenheit451

The enshittification of tech isn't accidental. Politics around the world isn't falling apart. These things are neither separate nor by chance — they are deliberate. They serve the same purpose: consolidating power, expanding surveillance and stripping away privacy and rights in the name of profit.

The world is exceptionally bleak right now — the collapse of our environment, genocide in Gaza (amongst others), Israel and the US setting fire to the world. F--k, we can't even drink rainwater without PFAS in it, and everyone has the equivalent of a plastic bag of micro plastics in their brain.

I'm guilty of comparing ICE to the Gestapo and I don't think that comparison is wrong per se. However, it goes much, much deeper. The more we understand history the better we can avoid past mistakes. I've dug around and this is the best explaneiner I've found: www.instagram.com/reel/DTb2VBJ...

People reach for the Gestapo comparison because it sounds extreme and foreign. It lets white Americans pretend this kind of policing came from somewhere else. But ICE looks closer to slave patrols because that’s our history. Local enforcement. Racialized suspicion. Vague authority. Taking people first, justifying it later. Gestapo is a warning. Slave patrols are a mirror. #gestapo #ice #fyp #ashleytheebarroness #americanhistoryView all 9,528 comments

Alex Karp is one of the most dangerous men alive. He’s the CEO of Palantir, a company the builds Al powered surveillance and “kill technology”.They’ve been powering a lot of the modern day warfare abroad but many of you might not realize how much power they have over you, right at home in the US.Trump tasked them with creating a database of all US citizens, allowing them to categorize you based on who you are, your background and everything you post on social media.They have you tagged as a future threat, just based on their internal parameters.ICE has been using Palantirs tech heavily to find immigrants and their location, well in advance. #palantir #ice #trumpadministration #breakingnews #worldnews #alexkarp
