The Pokémon Prohibitionist. Opinions and faux pas strictly my own.

I've done a bit of a Wikiwalk about this and had the amazing revelation that one of the French agents behind the bombing later became a wildlife photographer and had one of his photos published under a pseudonym in a calendar for...Greenpeace. Most of them had been sold by the time they realised.

The Deputy Head of DGSE picking at his overcooked chicken supreme as he waits to hear if he'll get a Lifetime Achievement Award for the Rainbow Warrior.

I suppose now I'm funemployed I'm at liberty to express my shame and embarrassment that a Labour Government has overseen the almost overnight unpersoning of an already marginalised segment of society - a group whose rights a previous Labour Government recognised in law barely 20 years ago.

Our code of practice for services, public functions and associations comes into force today. It provides practical guidance on how the Equality Act 2010 applies to services, public functions and associations. Find out more: https://ow.ly/alIf50Zwrkx

Quote from Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson: 'At the EHRC we want a society where everyone’s rights are respected and realised, so that we can all live well together. Our statutory guidance will help services across the country comply with the Equality Act, protecting service users from discrimination and harassment while reducing the risk of the provider being subject to litigation. 



As Britain’s equality regulator, our work doesn’t end upon publication of this guidance. We monitor compliance with the law and take enforcement action where proportionate and necessary, in line with our well-established regulatory model and decision-making framework.'

Feel like these two articles together really sum up well the weird position AI is in in the workplace. Employers want you to use it more. But the more clients/customers see it, the less they want it.

Lots of people covering the myriad awful things Rod Liddle did but I’d just like to chime in to add into the mix his 2012 column dismissing people with CFS and fibromyalgia as “pretend disabled” and claiming to envy how easy they have it. A man relentless in his quest for people to punch down at.

this is an interesting interview and if i were clipping it for social media i would have excerpted "We're still a place where we don't downrank links. We love sending traffic to people. We send two million clicks a day to publishers" rather than the part that'll just piss people off lol

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

oh nice, an unexpected ally has laid before me an easy path to vengeance. seems like a win-win despite his vague assurances of loyalty after I’ve destroyed our mutual enemy and cleared his path to ultimate power

This is how Restore Britain, sorry I mean Restoration, talks to working class northern Labour members in Red Wall seats who say they care about Ukraine. Do not under any circumstances vote for these charlatans for the Labour NEC.
