Reform are denying me access to the Welsh manifesto launch...

Remember a few weeks ago when Reform UK threatened to defund Bangor University in the name of "free speech"?

Well despite repeated requests, Reform are not allowing me to attend their manifesto launch.

So Arc Raiders is malware, basically.

If you use Discord either uninstall the game or stop using Discord because that "game" is accessing way too much data it shouldn't, even reading your DMs and sending them to the devs.

Super fun thing to find when Discord wants access to everyone's IDs.

Strengthening Arab fact checking: lessons from partnering with the Arab Fact-Checking Network From 2023 to 2025, Full Fact partnered with the Arab Fact-Checking Network to pilot AI tools adapted for Arabic-language media environments. The tools reduced monitoring time, expanded coverage and en...

Do you give small tech grants or know someone who does? You could fund every Arabic speaking fact checker to have access to the best technology in the world with *guaranteed* impact. Right now.

In all my years doing this, I can't believe this is the project I can't get funding for.

As I’ve been saying, by the end of the year, you can expect that ChatGPT will be selling a product that lets people generate child sexual abuse material on demand. They will then say β€œoops” about it violating their TOS, and repeat until everyone caves. Because their leadership is largely ex-Meta.

The only thing that could make McSweeney’s resignation even better is if it turns out he’s also behind the disastrous anti-trans poison being dripped in the prime minister’s ear. Good riddance if so, and here’s hoping for a less divisive and damaging set of policies.

THE WOMAN WHO WAS DRAGGED OUT OF HER CAR AND ARRESTED BY ICE SPEAKS OUT…

We’ve all seen the videos, but it matters to hear Aliya Rahman say it herself.

πŸ“Œ She says her treatment in custody was dehumanizing, and that officers completely failed to take her disability seriously.

So, she was still alive when ICE agents refused to let a physician approach her …

When she was finally allowed medical assistance, she still had an irregular pulse.

She might have lived..?

So, they shot her, and then prevented medical aid

X has continued to allow users to post highly sexualised videos of women in bikinis generated by its AI tool Grok, despite the company's claim to have cracked down on misuse.

The Guardian was able to create short videos of people stripping to bikinis from photographs of fully clothed, real women. It was also possible to post this adult content on to X's public platform without any sign of it being moderated, meaning the clip could be viewed within seconds by anyone with an account.

It appeared to offer a straightforward workaround to restrictions announced by Elon Musk's social network this week. These had been welcomed by the prime minister, Keir Starmer, who had described the photographs generated by Grok as "disgusting" and "shameful".

Shock discovery: X only made the limited changes it said it would make, rather than the full climb down that UK ministers claimed as their victory

The main story is the evil brutality.

But anyone hoping for the police to save us from ICE, James Berghaier, the cop who saved a boy Birdie Africa from the fire, (while PPD shot into the fire,) became an outcast, called β€œn- lover” & was run out of the PPD.

a queer woman lightly mocked an ICE officer so they shot her wife right in front of her. now they’re trying to justify it by making it a capital crime to mock them

in many ways that’s a core tenet of right-wing ideology: Lesser People should be forbidden (by force if necessary) to laugh at you

I understand the pressures on the BBC, but Radio 4's coverage of the Minneapolis shooting is an example of "bad balance".

It's all "the Trump regime says she was a terrorist, but Democrats say it was murder".

The BBC has the footage. It doesn't have to treat truth and falsehood as equally valid.
