We are not going to get out of the fascism problem by accepting just enough fascism to turn the heads of the fascism-curious.

On the 10th and 11th September, Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership will be a prominent figure in an “AI and Health” conference, one of two AI events they are advertising this month. We distributed some flyers explaining why it was the opposite: AI is a public health risk.
I think westerners tend to underestimate just how oppressive copyright is and how much worse it would be if it were possible to enforce globally. Enabling textbook and academic piracy is one of the more liberatory impacts of the internet. Money is too cheap for us to fully understand how vital it is
Kent Police Assistant Chief Constable Nigel Brookes said: "it is important to note that we do not as a matter of course monitor peaceful protestors, and their political viewpoints are not taken into consideration." This is an absolute 100% lie www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

REMINDER: The world already has far more oil and gas than can ever be safely burned if we are to limit warming. More North Sea drilling will do nothing to cut our energy bills, and make no meaningful difference to UK energy supply - but it will escalate climate harm.
Over on X, the far-right British Patriots have launched a hate campaign against the RNLI They are recording RNLI volunteers in order to dox them, reveal their identities and publish details of where they and their families live These men are dangerous
The idea that the police are the solution to this problem is fucking idiotic. The police are part of the problem. How do you think Danny Tommo is getting the information that is enabling him to mobilise groups of 300 lads at the drop of a hat?
