Meta has made it repeatedly clear that one of their growth strategies is sexualizing kids. Mark Zuckerberg and his leadership team deserve to face personal liability for this, and the company deserves sanctions up to and including corporate dissolution

Over the last nine months, Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta has run dozens of paid ads that include explicit AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and images of minors alongside sexually suggestive statements, according to details of the ads shared with WIRED.

Though the article says that he received communications from Reform at times saying he could run, I can frankly buy that there was something of a power struggle over whether to let him stand given Farage's history of trying to keep out violent extreme right activists.

It doesn't say much for the Conservative Party that this is the quality of candidate who wants to stand for them now—and that they're willing to defend his selection.

Andy Burnham correctly points out in an interview that small boat crossings are massively down this year compared with last. The comments in the post are filled with people suggesting he is lying about this very clear, data-evidenced fact. It’s almost as though they don’t want it to he true…

With today's poll from BMG, it looks like Labour's poll bounce under Burnham has been on average ~4.7 points. A 2 point bounce when Starmer resigned and a further 2.7 points when Burnham became PM

I am watching a YouTube vid about the 1997 film 'Conspiracy Theory' in which Mel Gibson plays a conspiracy theorist who is proved right. A lot of the comments are like "the role Mel was born to play" and YouTube's new AI categories system has categorised them as "Gibson shines in quirky comedy"

In case you missed it, the Green Party in Hackney spearheaded a cancellation of the borough's twinning agreement with Haifa, which is one thing, but the Mayor of Hackney has now written to the Mayor of Haifa requesting a reply by *October 7*, which is either stupid or pretty evil, take your pick.
