I can't believe AI boosters are still using the "It's too hard for some people to be creative so they're allowed to cheat" spiel.
Its not just me & Angela Rayner. If this Labour government rule out rent controls, a wealth tax, refuse to nationalise water companies, drill for oil and gas, continue to arm Israel - The country will be asking what's the point of a Labour Government? www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

There it is, ladies and gentlemen, with a last-minute entry, the most batshit insane thing I've read today: "I'm sure trees would take exception to not being treated as individuals"
Pablo Allelli@pallelli.bsky.social · 3w agoWoodlands can only expand at the expense of other terrains (maybe farmland for human food), and I'm sure trees would take exception to not being treated as individuals, and as I said, carbon capture can achieve that balance.

I'm astonished by the fact Polanski was able to transmit audio and video from 2026 back in time to the 1980s to answer the interviewer's questions.
I think one reason data center outrage is so pronounced is people spent decades recycling and composting and otherwise scrimping to offset energy use and protect clean water, and the second we hit an inflection point for cheap electricity the banking industry said we’re taking all of it, fuck you
JK Rowling through her TERF organization, Beira's Place have sent Amnesty International a demand letter seeking a full retraction of their report, a public apology, and a bar to future criticism of gender critical groups as anti rights orgs. If they don't comply, they'll commence legal action.

Google is building a data center in San Jose & lying about it.
Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.
How can a wanker city trader who takes squillion pound bungs from criminals be a tribune of working folk? Pretty much like this.

I genuinely think this is hilarious. Starmers faction, having colluded with the papers to lose the election to allow him to supplant Corbyn, are looking around swivel eyed thinking the same thing has been done to them. They ejected anyone ideologically impure, but surely some are not pure enough...?

At some point, the public are going to notice we have given companies linked to America’s idiot gangster president awe-inspiring sums of money in return for very little that’s of any use to the average punter, except maybe for cracking down on em. Politicians are going to be asked why they did that.

Incredible chart from @propublica.org. If you don’t follow enviro stuff closely, your instinct might be that the hold-your-nose solution (carbon capture from fossil fuels) would be the “pragmatic” one versus covering Earth in solar panels, which seems utopian. In fact it’s the opposite
Nothing says "caring for dolphins" like experiencing the big feels for entirely fictional computer generated slop while helping to destroy the environment real dolphins inhabit in order to do so.

USER WAS BLOCKED FOR THIS POST@blockedforthispost.bsky.social · last mo.I don't deny it. Vote for the lesser evil. Every time. If all you have is those two options, pick the lesser evil. You can pretend there's a secret third option where everyone wins and lives a wonderful life. Vote for that. But you will still end up with evil or less evil
Well, would you look at that. It turns out that the Starmerite wail of "everyone on the left must vote for Labour to keep Reform out, you're unserious idiots if you don't. I am very smart." suddenly doesn't apply when their own very special little man is involved.
I see the Starmtroopers have been briefed to let rip with the "decent man" bollocks again. When every third post says "I think he's a decent man" it's a little bit obvious. No subtlety at all.
