does anyone know if it’s possible to disable AI agents in Teams? or at least stop them interacting with me/my work? 🥲
I’m a little frustrated that so few people seem to be boycotting this corrupt, inhumane World Cup

This is *disgusting* — the Home Secretary should resign It’s a deeply disturbing ‘joke’ for Matt Forde to present too
Sunder Katwala (sundersays)@sundersays.bsky.social · 4mo agoPolitico report the Home Secretary was asked who out of Zack Polanski, Nigel Farage, Kemi Badenoch or Ed Davey she would taser or deport. Mahmood replied: “All of the above.” So Home Secretary is herself able to joke about deporting Badenoch, Polanski & Farage. (Farage ought not to reciprocate)

it’s also depressing that it’s the top news story on the BBC. by no means the most impactful story in the UK, never mind the world, but who cares because it’s another chance for them to have a go at trans people
Jess O'Thomson@jessothomson.co.uk · 8mo agoIf the reporting on the Peggie decision tells us anything, it should be that the way news gets reported in this country has little to do with truth, and much more to do with narrative - as well as whose heavily spun press release lands on journos desks first.
so Starmer has joined Substack, the app with an overt nazi problem, before joining Bluesky
Dutch election is looking *very* interesting — recent poll showed a three way tie between PVV, GL-PvdA, and D66. Would be great to see a new PM from the left.
