Genuine question... What if I don't want them? I'm sick of tech firms adding AI to everything without my asking. This is artificially inflating the use of these platforms, further driving the expansion of the financial pyramid scheme the tech bros are pushing to further enrich themselves. No thanks

Boozing in the sun, mocking JK Rowling and Joanna Cherry, and generally pissing off all the right people ... I am absolutely loving Nicola Sturgeon's new 'couldn't GAF' mode right now. She lives rent free in the minds of her haters - and she knows it My column in @heraldscotland.bsky.social

I am so enjoying Sturgeon’s ‘couldn’t GAF’ attitude right now

Those who hate the former First Minister simply cannot stop obsessing about her. She’s playing them like a fiddle and it’s very entertaining to…

If I was a crow, I’d be pretty fucked off about some sexually dimorphic, thrush-ass punk getting the name ‘Blackbird’. You’re out there; being portentous, cutting the morning sky like a shard of banished night and alighting upon the shoulder of Death herself. And he’s…what? A jazz flautist!? 🐦‍⬛🪈😡

The irony of it all it was United States that detonated two atomic weapons. The only country in history of war to have ever done so. But it’s gone to war with countries across Asia and the Middle East claiming that they are a threat and would use nuclear weapons without hesitating, they haven’t

Today 81 years ago 60,000 to 80,000 people were killed by an atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki. On August 6th, 70,000 to 80,000 died with the bombing of Hiroshima. Yesterday, memorial for the victims and all affected, with a PEACE walk to never forget them or what happened those days 81 years ago .

It’s hard to dispute Piketty’s diagnosis that, having realised that deregulated, laissez faire capitalism has utterly failed to enrich the poor and middle class, the right has turned to identity politic. Easier to give people someone to hate than improve their lives.

Zack Polanski@zackpolanski.bsky.social · 4d ago

I went to Paris to speak to Thomas Piketty - one of the world’s leading thinkers on inequality. We talk about why wealth keeps concentrating at the top, the case for public investment, and what it would take to build a fairer economy. A fascinating conversation. youtu.be/d_83pFubGvQ?...

“We prefer to take our chance with cholera than be bullied into health. There is nothing a man hates so much as being cleansed against his will or having his floor swept, his hall whitewashed, his dung heaps cleared away and his thatch forced to give way to slate.” — Extract from The Times in 1852

This is why I tend to use “white supremacist” and “hate group” when discussing the Republican Party and white evangelicals; they are accurate terms, they are well understood, and they are (justifiably) as disreputable as Republicans and Christian nationalists ought to be.

The Bi of Hormuz@joshstein.bsky.social · 4d ago

It's absolutely true that the GOP is controlled by the Christian nationalist, white nationalist wing, and that capture is at the highest levels of the party, but the phrase "Christian nationalism" often obscures simple points, e.g: they believe only white Christians belong in public life.

Do you want to hazard a guess at what this “jaw-dropping” list of freebies included? What luxuries asylum seekers might be being given “for free” in Thetford? Xboxes? Plasma TVs? iPhones? Ferraris? Let's take a look👀 🧵 1/22

Express headline: The jaw-dropping list of everything asylum seekers in Thetford were 'given for free'.
