Headlines: Such-and-such technology may someday be as smart as human brains! Reminder: *We already have human brains.* Billions of them. Most of them living in poverty and being exploited for the obscene benefit of a tiny number of the worst people in the world.

Ketan Joshi@ketanjoshi.co · 6d agoMeta is so unbelievably evil. They make a technology primarily designed to enable abuse, harassment and privacy violations, but also embed real disability aids.

Both of whom deserve reparations from the Government of this country, in which I was born and of which I am very ashamed. I would rather be a citizen of literally any member state of 🇪🇺, as long as I can live in Marseille or Valencia and visit my friends in 🏴, 🇮🇪, and other such locations.

I thoroughly enjoyed the eclipse, thanks to everyone who made it a success.
We have some very tall trees in my backgarden, so initially was rather concerned about getting no view but wow, the tree leaves themselves seem to be working as a pinhole projector! #spéirghorm
This is an outrageous failure from Andy Burnham and this Labour Government. He says they "don't know the remedy." It's obvious to almost anyone. Nationalise water companies. Tax fossil fuel companies. Invest in renewables. Labour selling us down the river to please their donors as country burns.
Adam Bienkov@adambienkov.bsky.social · last wk.Downing Street's press release for Burnham's "emergency" Cobra meeting on the drought didn't even mention climate, with the Prime Minister blaming the growing numbers of wildfires on disposable barbecues. He's since appeared on GB News this afternoon to talk about migrant camps
“You know, if a field of dead potatoes doesn’t strike fear into every Irish heart, I don’t know what the fuck will”. We’re in catastrophic times, on the road to devastation & still, the Irish government refuses to change course 🤦🏾♀️ Floods & fires. #spéirghorm #IrishPol #Drought #Heatwave

I worked with Lucille Ball once, just long enough to deliver a script to her house in Beverly Hills (with a giant ‘M’ on the welcome mat, for her husband, Gary Morton - sheesh!) and have her question me about all of the changes. She was the best. And, of course, the godmother of #StarTrek. 🖖

Oldest Wizard In The Books@badgerlock.bsky.social · 5mo agoRelated: in Ireland, our guide pulled us over at a memorial erected by the Dunnes Stores Strikers - who Mamdani mentions in his video - to commemorate the Doo Lough Tragedy and celebrate the end of Apartheid. The Irish have always known that all our struggles for liberation are bound together.
