My garden rain gauge is beginning to look like a forgotten relic from the distant past. Covered in cobwebs. Discoloured by the sun. No rain in it for well over a month... 😮‍💨 #Drought

July marks the first consecutive twelve month period where wind generated more electricity than gas in the UK...in every single month. In the last decade, wind generation in the UK has more than doubled, pushing first coal and now gas out of the mix.

You couldn't get more openly corrupt than this. Infantino says member FAs will receive $40m if they vote for his proposal (to sell off FIFA to investors including the Kushners). "an initial $20m" if they agree by 19 Sep. UEFA must call for Infantino to go! www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Full of despair today. Massive lay offs in social sciences and humanities across the country, Burnham puts out a video saying 'AI can write an essay', and my university is busy integrating co-pilot into all staff and student computers. We are being told we're defunct and there's no resistance.

AI labs buy, scan, shred millions of rare books

If you have retreated to physical books because the internet is too full of AI slop, bad news — now they’re shredding the books to feed their AI slop machines.

"A physical book is a delivery mechanism for information... once that information has been extracted and encoded into an AI model, the delivery mechanism has served its purpose. What remains is paper, ink, and binding material. The book is not destroyed. Its value has migrated." For fuck's sake.

Fun fact (not) : after the 2018 Toronto attack, where a lookist (incel) militant killed 11 and injured 15, Ross Douthat penned an opinion piece where he leaned into incel propaganda and advocated for a 'fairer' distribution of women's bodies among men.

You'll never guess what... yet another Reform UK Russia connection I wonder if anyone has ever been able to find out how many appearances and mentions Nigel Farage had on Russia Today - and how much he got paid. Would he have to declare it when an MEP?
