The older I get, the more certain I am that the real meaning of existence is love for life. That is, love for the natural world, all of humanity, and advancing coexistence based on true justice, rights, and respect. 🌍

Increasingly I feel that what once was considered the political mainstream in the U.K. has completely lost its moral compass. When did the question about concentration camps and mass deportations become one of practical feasibility?

I talked to 15 teachers/professors about how AI and ChatGPT is ruining their lives: www.404media.co/teachers-are...

Teachers Are Not OK
AI, ChatGPT, and LLMs "have absolutely blown up what I try to accomplish with my teaching."

So true. For UK H&S regs too. Every time some idiot trots out the nauseating "Health and Safety gone mad" I respond with "All H&S laws are the result of some mother begging a court to stop the same thing happening to another mother's son". (All other genders too of course) @ewangibbs.bsky.social

A reminder that deregulation is hard - not just because of entrenched interests - but because regulation serves a purpose. The childish cut the red tape excitement does not even realise this. What does that mean? /1

1. Quick 🧵 on the change to policy that, on the face of it, bans refugees from ever acquiring British citizenship. @sonial77.bsky.social has published a short article on Free Movement: freemovement.org.uk/good-charact... And I've done a follow up on my Substack: open.substack.com/pub/wewanted...

New change to Home Office policy permanently blocks refugees from citizenship
Change is bad in principle and breaches the Refugee Convention
