Another scandal that should be the end of Reform but will be ignored unless we make a lot of noise about it.
In the early 1960s a senior Conservative minister, John Profumo, resigned and inflicted perhaps decisive damage to the electoral prospects of his party for a decade ….. for far less than this
One of the unexpected things I've learned from my advocacy for trans people is how malignant parts of the State can be, how it can misuse data for positively evil purposes. It's taught me people can't be safe with a digital ID card and so I've signed this. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...
This *ought* to be massive news, I found Corbyn's views on Russia deeply iffy but not to the extent of treachery and he was absolutely hounded by the media over it, I suspect this top pal of Farage being in Putin's pocket will be roundly ignored, however.

Images showing computers shrinking greatly over 25 years, phones shrinking greatly over 40 years, and cars getting much bigger over the last 40 years.
Innovation makes useful things smaller and smaller. Overconsumption makes things bigger and bigger (and more dangerous with bigger costs & consequences). Bigger vehicles and larger homes for fewer people is not progress. HT @fietsprofessor for graphic
In fact I'm not the biggest fan of Klingons, but I like them in TUC the most. The makeup and especially the costumes, but also their more nuanced (IMO) portrayal.
You can tell the AI push is going *badly* because you don't hold features hostage like this if it's going swimmingly
"All the smartest people say this is shit but I think it's great. How do I convince them that actually I'm the smart one???"
this technology that i cant even get my own employees to use without literally threatening them is definitely going to be profitable one day
You reap what you sow.
this is is fascinating. an AI freak buys an AI enabled child toy but his kid keeps turning off the AI and using their imagination, which disturbs and disappoints him

This is what segregationists said about media depicting blacks as normal or interracial relationships as ok

Dear Elon,
Why stop at Mars? You’re a plutocrat! Aim for Pluto! We’ll all be here on Earth to root you on.

Ketamine addicted billionaire with obvious issues in his psyche cannot imagine a universe where drug addiction and severe mental illness are the results of homelessness, rather than the cause.
Women have to deal with periods, pregnncy, and menopause. What do men have to deal with? Lee Anderson MP: Try the Battle of the Somme.

I'm sure there are some people on the planet who regard Graham Hancock as an academic. Real life is always weirder and more disappointing than you'd get away with putting in fiction.
NEW: Why do we always think crime is rising, even when it isn’t?
This week I looked at one of the big data mysteries. Britain is 2/3 less violent than the 1990s; thefts were higher pre-lockdown

It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child.
For the record.
