We're about to see some of the most tedious people in media correctly state AI is bad because they can not pass their Telegraph column down to their idiot children as part of their Estate.
Mic Wright@brokenbottleboy.bsky.social · 14h agoThis line from the Telegraph’s CEO is particularly choice. It is an impossible to build a *premium* media brand that is also “AI-powered”. Doubly so if the raw material you’re starting with is… The Daily Telegraph.
AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"
Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.
Update on @1001albumsgen.bsky.social and we’re back to the book list for a bit as 13 new albums have been added in the new edition
One of the many things I love about El-Sayed is that he's willing to engage with someone hostile if it gets them to admit the premises behind that hostility, to the extent that it becomes impossible to avoid the underlying bigotry. You want to go there, fine, but he's gonna make you own it.
Abdul El-Sayed@abdulelsayed.bsky.social · 6d agoThis is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.
Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.
I really and truly believe we have to stop asking the British public things unless it’s truly necessary, we’re getting ideas above our stations
So let me be absolutely clear, if these trends hold we're looking at the highest midterm turnout rate since 1902. You heard me right. 1902. That is your story
The BBC news summary this morning went seamlessly from "critics warn PM scrapping triple lock would be electoral suicide" to "critics ask if PM has nerve to make tough decisions" and I don't think it's a particularly pro Burnham stance to suggest he might not be the entire problem here.
This! This is what i've been saying. They turned customers into unpaid workers and didn't pass any of the cost savings down as lower prices. Actually helping people.
ebisback.bsky.social@ebisback.bsky.social · 4w agoWow! Can we clone this man? Asking for every American City! 😍
Week 37 of the @1001albumsgen.bsky.social bonus list and there’s no way some of these albums are serious nominations
One of the things that links Farage and Trumpism is the complete disregard for the seriousness of government, and restraint Vs making everything content.
Parody Nigel Farage@parodypm.bsky.social · 4w agoThe police have asked everyone to please not speculate about the RAF Fairford incident, so naturally I'm going to waste no time in making up total bollocks to suit my own agenda.
Thank God Reform is standing up for masked, knife-wielding, ex-cons. Society's most marginalised group.
The tactical voting attack ads for other parties basically write themselves.
Are Reform UK *sure* they want to yoke themselves to people like Daniel “Danny Tommo” Thomas? Nigel Farage was adamant for years that most voters instantly recognise and intensely dislike football thug types like him and Tommy Robinson.
well "kids don't need to know long division because they will learn how to move sets of transistors around on a die" is certainly *a* take. it is also not the kind of thing I want to hear from the head of the highest valued company on earth
Matt Ford@mford.bsky.social · 4w agoEzra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?” Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...
The weird thing about this, is there’s nothing really new here. A school can already offer courses in business, construction, childcare and so on, should it so choose www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
New vocational GCSE subjects to be introduced in schools
New GCSE subjects could include child development and building and construction as vocational courses are being introduced.

So that guy who live streamed himself trying to drown someone by stabbing their boat with a knife and who has been continually blocking ports and intimidating communities with a band of masked thugs. He’s surely just going to be arrested right? Right?
He commits at least 3 offences right on camera. Criminal damage. Endangering life at sea. Carrying a knife in public. Possession of any offensive weapon. Etc.
Tom Roberts@tpgroberts.bsky.social · last mo.The complete and total collapse of state function in the face of far right extremists. It is frankly ludicrous that Daniel Thomas continues to be at large given the series of crimes committed which he has literally filmed.
Can only assume there were no arrests as it was a spontaneous protest 🙄
Emma Yeomans@yeomans.bsky.social · last mo.Worrying scenes in the Channel today, for all interested in asylum policy and maritime tactics. A small boat from Normandy spent more than 30 hours at sea. Those on board now on their 2nd rescue vessel as Border Force forced to play cat and mouse with far-right activists who have their own boat.
