Trump threatening to tear down Kennedy center if he can’t have it, is why women walk thru the parking lot w their car keys in their hand

This is why I hate "just a tool" so so so much. You can make a calculator without access to every calculation. You can make photoshop without access to all photos. Someone show me a genai tool that didn't require all of our labour in its production. It's plagiarism software.

I have spent weeks shadowing the RNLI and I can tell you, they do it out of nothing more than compassion. Wrote about the heroes I've met over the years in this free-to-read post. nicolakelly.substack.com/p/the-rnli-a...

This takes just one minute, you must have a UK postcode Send this letter to your MP, to ask them to attend the parliamentary debate on 12th Oct which will look at the UK's future relationship with the EU. The more people we get to write, and MPs attend, the more they will take the issue seriously

It wasn't so long ago that James Robinson, former aide to Tom Watson, had his home raided in a police investigation into an alleged Chinese spying ring. Now #TWATSON is a senior VP of Palantir & sniffing around UK government contracts. What could possibly go wrong? #NoToPalantir #PalantirOut

“A real test of this government will be torule out new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea. The reason they have decided not to announce that before the by-election in Holborn and St Pancras is incredibly telling.” Caroline Lucas on the government’s refusal to rule out new oil and gas on #BBCQT.
