Reading the news, it would be easy to believe that the Green Party has adopted a policy to expel its Jewish members, prevent them from attending synagogue or at the very least scrutinise their activities outside the party. *None of that has happened* 🧵

I've been saying this for years. Even if it made no difference to the result, even if they vote in a way that I don't like, you shouldn't be handing every government, good or bad, a simple way to disenfranchise a huge portion of the population, just by locking them up.

The Pope seems not to have an account here, so here is a screenshot from the Nazi site. That he remains there is disappointing, if understandable. But I think it worth posting to show what he is saying about ‘AI’, and how infinitely preferable it is to what we hear from other political leaders.

Pope Leo XIV on Twitter:
‘In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.’

In today’s @ft_weekend there’s a column by me about the writers of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, screwing up season 4 by attempting to dispense with the format across almost every episode. Perhaps you liked the season. You are entitled to that view. You are also wrong. www.ft.com/content/b1d6...

A screen shot which reads:

In the finale of the latest series in the Star Trek universe, which dropped on Paramount+ just over a week ago, the crew of the Starship Enterprise boldly went where they have been many, many times before. There was a black hole, a time slip narrative, the birth of an alien baby and much more besides. For diehard Trek fans, among whose number I count myself, it was bliss, not least because the rest of season four of Strange New Worlds, a prequel to the original Star Trek of the 1960s, had been a complete bloody mess.

A second screenshot which reads:

The majority of the 10 episodes were clumsy experiments with genre, breaking a robust format that has functioned perfectly well for the past six decades. One had a black-and-white film noir setting, with the Klingons as the Peter Lorre bad guys. In another, for reasons too convoluted to explain, the crew were in a soap opera and so behaving completely out of character. There was a fairy tale episode and a horror episode and a drugged-up episode (more character warping). Worst of all was the episode in which, through a transporter malfunction, all the characters were replaced by muppets apart from Spock.

A third screenshot which reads:

Star Trek’s age-old mission, to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilisations, had apparently been forgotten by a writing team who at best seemed bored with the show’s premise, and at worst held both it and the fans in contempt. Complaints piled up across social media and elsewhere. As one said, “for god’s sake, just do Star Trek.” Amen to that. All we wanted was the show we know and love. It’s all the fans ever want.
