Oh I’m going to be using this website sooooo much, thanks for the link. There are lots of good criticisms to be made of the environmental impact of AI but I’m not sure the people making those criticisms are always aware of their own environmental impacts.

What’s your take on how this compares to EU GDPR laws? US sites do have to abide by GDPR when serving users in the EU, so why wouldn’t they have to abide by the OSA when serving users in the UK?

The good thing about flag-shagging 'patriots' is that they are so monumentally thick that they film themselves committing racially aggravated criminal damage and post it on the internet, making it nice and easy for the police to find them.

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

Aside from the frothing racism of these people, what is really grim about this is the idea that government are powerless to change culture. If your constituents think these things *they are wrong* and you need to explain why. It's not actually your job as an MP to rubber stamp fascism.

Any journalist worth their salt should be asking No 10 whether the PM intended such a serious threat against the independent nation of Ireland when he threatened to have Sally Rooney arrested, or if he’s just thick. Of course they won’t, because we live in hell.

The way the government are reacting over Sally Rooney’s support for Palestine Action is just the latest example of the UK not being over the fact Ireland has been independent for a century.

In reality, Jeremy Corbyn campaigned for remain, then pushed for a second referendum in which he said he and his party would campaign for remain. This is material reality, as recorded by a consensus of the press at home and abroad. You believe the opposite of this, because you are mentally ill.

My earnest advice to Labour supporters concerned about the new left party is to accept that: 1. The Labour Party leader told those people to leave 2. Those people are now gone. 3. You will not scold them into returning. 4. You have 4 years to get your party to attract them back into the fold.

these social benefits do not cease to exist because people also use cryptocurrency for speculative nonsense. cryptocurrency for financial speculation will always be bullshit, it just pains me that the collective anger at that has buried potential solutions to growing problems.

cryptocurrency has always had immense power for good. it’s good when it allows people to be paid for goods & services that can’t be sold using traditional payment structures, it’s good when it allows people to buy medicine that they need to live.
