Audio/Video collagists. We made that Alan Sugar mash-up, and that Boris Johnson one, and that other Boris Johnson one ko-fi.com/cassetteboy youtube.com/cassetteboy

My timeline appears to be split on whether this Binface is funny or naff. In the avoidance of doubt, it's a joke that's became naff through overuse, but has come round to wonderful relevance again in these specific set of circumstances. So yes, if you're not team Binface now, you're losing.

"Digitally handmade" is a useful, vital distinction. Collage work of existing images, authored in an image-editing platform (and done within the bounds of fair use) is the actual remix culture. Typing "make me an image in the style of this creator" into a generator trained on unlicensed art is theft

I see the AI Art Is Theft bores are out again. Remixing, referencing, riffing, recombining, that's the entire history of the internet. And of culture, full stop. Clay Shirky documented it exhaustively in Here Comes Everybody. Every meme, fanfic, and parody account operates on exactly this logic ffs.

Banning kids from social media is the same vein as putting a curfew in for women when there’s a male attacker out there. It’s easier to legislate the victim than fix the problem

I hope this isn’t true. There are times when it’s more important to put country before party. This is one of them. Burnham’s longstanding commitment to a fairer voting system could transform our democracy & counter the dire threat of a Reform UK government elected on a minority of the vote

Greens suggest they will properly contest byelection in blow to Burnham

Statement follows speculation party would not field candidate in Makerfield or barely fight seat

I would like it on record - and for the benefit of all the social media listening tools out there that monitor for sentiment - that I think Wes Streeting is a slimy, repugnant little man And judging by his resignation letter, he's also unbearably smug
