Dismayed by the "I loathe Gl**ner but his arrest should scare us all" takes. The bar for arrest over a social media post *should be extremely high*, but a guy who's harassed trans people 19 hours a day for 8 years, telling his 600k fans to attack any trans women they see, clears that bar v easily?
good. fuck off. forever.

I feel like the automatic position of all people in Britain should be that the national press are *scum*, to be reviled and spat upon on sight, unless they can swiftly provide evidence to the contrary.
Since 2023, translators and interpreters have seen work dry up, rates plummet and their jobs reduced to editing AI-generated output. Some are leaving the field, others are considering bankruptcy. All despite any major upgrade in translation quality. This is how AI is killing translation work:
Tremendous piece by Chris Person on the pointless mutilation of film history by morons, overeager tech-heads (a subspecies of moron), and directors who've gotten lost in the sauce of unbridled capitalism. aftermath.site/true-lies-4k...
Every day I'm newly enraged that my world and all the things I love are being chewed up and destroyed by the simplest fucking rubes to ever walk the goddamn earth
The people dominating our political landscape, culture, and economy are just so stupid and full of shit it's almost impossible to describe
Golf Story! www.destructoid.com/reviews/revi...
UK coup made us corporate slaves. Post Office scandal, no one charged for false convictions. Grenfell fire, 72 died, no one charged Water companies, 1,137 criminal convictions, still operating. Energy companies, £514bn operating profit. No curbs. Corporate lawlessness is the new norm
For too long, people have been denied a real political choice. Not anymore. My piece for the Guardian on the extraordinary response to www.yourparty.uk www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
There is no fixing a system where this kind of cruel, stupid, hateful, total fraud is supported all the way to Number Ten. It needs to be bulldozed into the sea and everyone involved has to be fired in disgrace, so they can never work in their sector ever again, as an urgent democratic necessity.
why listen to scientists and doctors when there's a rude letter from a brain rotted, geriatric rapist to tell you what to do
The savage proposition that you're not being paid enough to be able to save, and this is your fault, so we'll make you work for too little money, even longer, because the Labour Party is now well to the right of Margaret Thatcher on almost all metrics.
I feel genuine disgust and rage that Kier Starmer's team has created a propaganda video saying people are freer to be who they are because of him. How fucking dare they. This is like some 1984 bs
Gosh. Who could have predicted this* *(Every trans person and feminist for the last decade).
"hi! I'm your hardware that used to work just fine, but now fails to do a fairly basic thing you counted on it for because of an automatic required update. brought to you by, the makers of: everything! everything does this now™️"
I note that Palestinian solidarity was well within normal acceptable politics in, say, 2001. Now in 2025, the same politics, the same statements - the same people - are frighteningly insane, wildly extreme, utterly unacceptable, to be cracked down upon. So who is it, whose politics have radicalised?
27 people — including a priest, professor and health workers — were arrested today under terrorism laws. Their crime? Peacefully holding signs opposing genocide. This is how we sleepwalk into fascism.
Inside Europe’s billion-dollar anti-gender movement A new report reveals how groups critical of so-called gender ideology across Europe raised $1.18 billion to target abortion, sex education and LGBTQ+ rights.
Yesterday, the government removed vital support from disabled people. Today, the government will criminalise protestors who want to stop genocide. I opposed the government's attack on the disabled - and I will oppose the draconian proscription of Palestine Action.
437 footballers among those nearly 800 athletes killed. Still not a word from UEFA or Fifa. www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-ea...
You’d think this in Haaretz would be top of the BBC homepage but no. The chant by Bob Vylan at Glastonbury however is.
Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride. However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Whatever you make of this and wherever it may be going, I think we have to agree on one simple fact: the toothpaste is fully out of the tube here, and the Mail cannot push it back in with any amount of Bodysnatchers-style pointing and screeching.
The singularity is awesome

If you are not concerned by the proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation because you think it doesn’t impact you, you are wrong. This is an authoritarian abuse of power by the government & it curtails all of our civil liberties #r4today
No good thing can ever be fashioned by these evil tools, and anyone who tells you different is either lying or dreaming.
This is what our governments are facilitating.
The real cost of AI is being paid in deserts far from Silicon Valley restofworld.org/2025/ai-reso...
but if i'm not allowed to feed artists into my artist killing machine it's going to be basically impossible for the machine to keep killing artists. is that what you want?? and before you answer keep in mind this is a very expensive machine
It’s been two months since I wrote about AI which, as someone who detests having to write about AI, feels like not much time at all. On fake books, cash traps and magic beans, and why I continue to hate every vapid tentacle AI thrusts in our direction. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...
Newsletter: We are in the era of the Business Idiot, where middle management has seized power, breeding out true meritocracy and value-creation in favor of symbolic growth and superficial intelligence. This piece ties together everything I've ever written. www.wheresyoured.at/the-era-of-t...

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare. link.springer.com/article/10.1...
This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic www.crabmuseum.org/visit 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀
🧵NOT BY ME, this is a post from someone who wants to remain anonymous but works extensively with trans people pre-transition. They were asked by someone “why do you think that’s so much [coverage of trans people] in the news at the moment?” This was their response:
Ended. Up. Ended. Up. endedup
they finally did it. they invented a machine that can't run doom.
Colossal didn't make a dire wolf. This is not a dire wolf! Stop saying it is!! I feel like I'm going mad!!!
You cannot make this shit up
These are awesome (infinite wood made me laugh tho). Love your resources 💚
My thing about using AI to write content is, If you can't be bothered to write your own work and make it interesting to me as a human, why should I bother to read it?
Like I say: their job isn’t really to fix anything at all. Their job is to convince *you* that this is the only way it could ever be and it can’t possibly be done differently, so that you just stop complaining about it.
Utter disgrace. For those who missed it, these anti-protest laws were actually written by an oil industry funded lobby group. www.opendemocracy.net/en/dark-mone...
If you using Studio Ghibli AI ChatGPT—Miyazaki should personally get to hunt you for sport.
It is so funny that even when posting what should be a triumphant moment about a launch of some new image generator Sam Altman can't even post an image where the guy has the correct number of fingers

You know who should've won an Oscar last night? The person who designed the little 'Gravity on / off' buttons in Alien Romulus.
Heh.
There was once no shortage of analysts keen to go in depth into the causes of Labour’s electoral woes but now, nobody seems much interested. A great yawning silence that’s occasionally interrupted by party cranks squawking “deport the Muslim paedos” into microphones.
John goes to Wales and discovers some of the poorest people in the country are getting ready to vote for the fash stockbroker. But how can this be, when we already have the most excellent, most in touch with ordinary people government possible? A mystery not much touched upon, here.
It's embarrassing, destructive, and looks like shit: AI-generated art is the perfect aesthetic form for the far right argues @garethwatkins.bsky.social newsocialist.org.uk/transmission...
There's a reason that AI is so beloved by fascists right now—like fascism, it tempts us to abandon the complexity of the world for the simplicity of power, & to give up the need to do the difficult but necessary work to understand the world by allowing some authority to impose its own understanding
truly wild that plenty of centre-left parties would be too cowardly to use this slogan which should be entirely uncontroversial for any nominally left party (looking at you, Labour)
I’ve been asking this for as long as I can recall, and the answer is: nobody wants to face up to what right wing politics is and has been for decades, because the whole game has been co-opting bits of it for your own personal gain. But this is what was always lurking at the bottom of the pond.
Unbearably bleak. Not good enough, ever.
Particularly shocking detail here, suggesting reasons why the Mayor and the Culture Secretary might be looking the other way on this. www.newstatesman.com/culture/2025...
I wrote this about the media's first big test of Trump 2.0, and how poorly it scored. On the tedious, vital work of seeing what's in front of our faces for the next four years. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...
I can’t think of a worse place to get deloused than in a comatorium
I wrote this on eternal life and ceaseless cringe. And how I've no interest in living forever if it's in a world ruled by the weird, brittle freaks we call tech CEOs. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...
Everyone saying "make weird art!" you better fucking mean it. There better not be an unspoken "but not too weird" tacked on at the end.
Labour's rivers policy is unbelievable. 1. Steve Reed, the Environment Secretary, has decided our rivers are insufficiently polluted with chicken shit, so he’s loosening the rules. Never mind that it's the primary cause of rivercide in the Welsh border region. www.theguardian.com/environment/... 🧵
