Having to gently ask sources not to use AI when they write emails to me because it makes it literally impossible to understand what they know versus what the robot makes up, inserts, misstates or oversimplifies 🫠

Watching BBC News and it's striking to hear the presenters repeatedly referring to the AfD as "far-right" whilst refusing to ever say the same about the hundreds of actual masked blackshirts currently swarming British ports

After the Belfast pogroms and racist mob attacks in Glasgow a few months ago I had to challenge the BBC on-air for describing those violent thugs as 'anti-immigration campaigners'.

Nick Robinson on Today is literally talking about ‘legitimate concerns’ after second night of organised men dressed in black - sorry ‘protesters’ - mobilising en masse in another littoral town. This is how street fascism is normalised

When masked thugs radicalised by racist hate blockade ports and threaten harm, the police make zero arrests, and the response of the government is to issue a statement sympathising with the protesters' aims and only mildly rebuking their actions, we have a big fucking problem.

An absolutely fantastic #Roman barge, "De Meern 1", lenght 25m. It was wrecked in a winding tributary of the Rhine around the year 190 AD, possibly due to navigational error. Much of the barge's interior and the captain's personal belongings were preserved in...🧵1/2 📷 me 🏺 #Archaeology

A photo of a well-preserved wooden barge displayed inside a building. The barge is long and narrow, with wooden benches running along its length. It appears weathered. There are some people watching the barge, giving a sense of scale to the barge.

Having described Dublin's Wax Museum as featuring "Brendan O’Carroll’s Mrs Brown spitting a jet of water from her mouth while farting on a toilet", I worry this might lead you to presume this was a delightfully heightened bit of absurdism on my part. Dear reader, this is not the case.

It takes you 20 paragraphs to get to the part of the article where they admit that Mamdani isn't paying the influencers and the reason they are posting videos of the stuff Mamdani is doing is because people are interested in watching it.

The mayor’s office says that it does not pay the influencers. Still, their proximity and access to a figure as popular as Mr. Mamdani can help increase their own social media following and, by extension, potentially put them in a position to attract paid content sponsorships from commercial brands. Some influencers said that when they feature Mr. Mamdani, the videos get more likes and viewers watch longer.

"Mr. Mamdani is a master of new media... But as mayor, he has also been able to use taxpayer funds to create a sprawling network of hundreds of friendly influencers to boost his priorities, provide positive depictions of his administration and enhance his popularity."
