When I first did standup, at uni, I had a joke that went over quite well, about it being easy to get in touch with Ms Dynamite because 'there aren't many of those in the phone book'. Before long, I was finding some audiences couldn't recall (a) who that was and (b) even WHAT that was.

Andy Burnham: "We will not give Britain the clear path we need into the rest of this century until we decide on a long-term relationship with what is still our largest market. I cannot say to you truthfully that where we are is good enough. Brexit has done more harm than good."

People REALLY don’t like being told they’re wrong. What the far right have done is weaponise this and tell people that the feelings of bigotry that they’re secretly ashamed of are actually good. And if deployed cunningly this works on far more people than you'd think, which is exhausting.

Today I saw the new 4 hour documentary Musk, directed by Alex Gibney. There were too many times to count that a sold out theater burst out laughing at Elon Musk, something he said or did, even sometimes just how he looked. I believe that is his worst nightmare come to life.

Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.
It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to
Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate
from the people. He has no real ideas, and
no plan,

Pack it in with the mental illness shite. Racism is a choice based on ignorance. It's taught and learned. I'm sick to death of seeing people equate things they don't like with mental illness. You expect it from bigots on the far right, but seeing it perpetuated by others is infuriating. Do better.

When we talk about the costs that LLMs impose on society we should not forget the fact that nothing works anymore because everyone is so scared of getting their shit scraped. I can't even use google scholar from my university or starlink because they send too much traffic.

My kid has launched a petition to change his high school’s handbook policy on AI use. He’s pissed. (He really hates AI)
4 Search 8:58PM Mon Sep 21
Scanned Document 9-21-26 at 8.51.43PM v
=100% O
This is a petition to change the BHS Al policy from this, which was copy & pasted directly from the student Handbook google document on Monday, September 21st of 2026.
BHS Al Policy
Unauthorized use of generative Al tools to substantially complete an assignment is not permitted.
This petition to change the Al policy would like to change the following:
• Remove the word substantially from the policy all together
a. The usage of the word substantially is ambiguous at best, and disingenuous at worst. For example, who is it that decides when Al was used substantially, who decides what substantially means, and why is any amount permitted
when the use itself is unauthorized?
Require a more descriptive decision on how Al is and is not permitted in assignments and projects
a. If students do not know what is permitted, how do they know what is not
b. If Al is used in 100% of the creation process except for editing, would that count as substantial usage? Most would probably argue yes, but it is possible for an argument to be posed of the opposite, that the baseline was made with Al but the final product was made by humans. That argument could be made,
and could be accepted., even if it goes against what the policy means.
c. If Al is used for the basis of the brainstorming of talking points, but nothing
else, would that count as substantial usage? Most would probably argue no,but again, it is possible to argue the opposite. It could be argued that because the baseline of the passage was Al generated, everything else built on that foundation does not count as real work.
Have a more active description of why Al is prohibited
a. Why is Al prohibited? Is it because you just don't like it? Is it because it harms the environment? Is it because it harms the learning capabilities of people no matter the age or gender? Specifics are important.
• Expand restrictions on Al and what possible punishments might be
a. What happens when you break the rules? Nothing? Suspension? A grade drop? Or should it be decided by the teacher?
b. What specifically is not permitted when using Al? Is image generation allowed? Probably not in art. Is source generation allowed? Who knows, not
us.
c. Are teachers allowed to use Al? Why or why not? It sends mixed messages when teachers use Al in their classroom slides and then turn around and say
"No! This technology is really bad and horrible and don't use it?"
• Require a more expansive curriculum on Al and its problems
a. Anything would be helpful. Even an assembly would be helpful because people do not know anything about what Al does to them, or the environment. This is a BARE MINIMUM.
Each request will be signed on individually in this petition. Each change would be requested individually and discussed with those who have the power to change it individually.

saw this on Instagram and it so perfectly encapsulated my rage
seravph
being so fr when I say that transmisogyny has put feminism back like 50 years

seravph
what i thought we had distanced ourselves from was the reduction of women to vaginas and wombs and the ability to bear children. i thought we had progressed past 'dresses are for women and pants are for men. i thought we progressed past the idea that someone is less of a woman if she does not adhere strictly to beauty standards. i thought we progressed past the idea that naturally being comfortable adhering to highly feminine standards is vulgar. but i (sarcastically) guess no one could have predicted that trans-exclusive feminism would be the downfall of all the progress we've made
