Opposing violence against trans women is unacceptable to the BBC, which, like every part of British media in 2026, believes being able to do violence against trans women is a human right.

I can’t really take a political mainstream that insists the Greens be shunned but Reform and the Tories be treated as legitimate seriously.

I just saw Femi explaining his opposition to the motion and "while in practice Zionism is certainly racist, in theory it's not" is precisely the kind of unserious position people like to accuse the Greens of having.

They have to make AI as much of a national security issue as possible. That's how they're going to get the money. The money will likely be ultimately issued from the military budget.

S.Peggie loses on every point apart from the administrative failures of NHS systems. GC lawyers have wasted NHS time and resources for a vanity project with net-zero result for them or Peggie. The aim is never to win legally but use the story to lobby politically through media.

lol the vibe shift in AI hype feels like a ploy by U.S. tech bros to permanently keep out competitors. They are cosplaying concern so they can "regulate" their competitors out of existence. It's not about safety. It's about money.

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

So. LLMs do syntax [arranging words in order] but don't do semantics [mapping between words and real-world things] or pragmatics [communicative intent]. To grossly oversimplify, this is broadly the same language problems you see with autism.

Arguing that LLMs are anything more than a load of numbers going into a complicated mathematical function and spitting some more numbers out. Yes they simulate. But they simulate *language*. They do not simulate the cognitive processes underlying communication.

George Floyd was murdered, millions of people concluded that something was fundamentally wrong with American policing, and six years later a prominent figure who once spoke to that anger can casually describe the politics that emerged from it as “Woke 1 was crazy.” That IS anti-blackness to me.

Absolutely baffling that fewer and fewer young people from around the world want to travel long distances and part with huge sums of cash to study in a defunded and decimated HE system whilst living in a hostile and xenophobic environment. One of life’s great mysteries.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.
