They want to implement a business model that requires profit to be subsidised by those from whom they seek to steal or displace. musictech.com/news/industr...

I’m all for preparedness for war, but making ourselves dependent on technologies and companies in cahoots with potential enemies isn’t the most obvious choice.

Just ordered a 16GB Raspberry Pi 5 + accoutrements for nearly $500. @spacehobo : Pepperidge Farm remembers

Below are the main points of the Charter, which is renewed every 10 years, for good reason. The current BBC is already in breach of the Charter, by what is contained in the first paragraph.

What odds this apology doesn't get the same headline coverage as the lying smear ... "GB News presenter Alex Armstrong & commentator Bernadette Spofforth have been ordered to apologise & pay damages to MothinAli after suggesting he took part in the 2024 Leeds racist riots" via The Daily Politik

Outstanding

Can someone help us get this message to Andy Burnham? Labour voters want public ownership, not public control - it is time to deliver it

So, a Trump supporter told me that, “nobody gives a sh*t” about Indigenous Peoples Day. Please, tell me, do you care about Indigenous Peoples Day?

Right now Israel is invading Gaza and breaking the Ceasefire to blow up the last few habitable buildings and complete their Ethnic Cleansing so they can move onto completing their Genocide. And there is silence, TOTAL SILENCE. The West are as guilty of Genocide as Israel.

So, finally, a PM who admits there **was** Russian interference in the Brexit Referendum — after all the evidence amassed by myself @carolecadwalla.bsky.social @lukeharding1968.bsky.social Sergei Cristo, J Patrick et al — dismissed as conspiracy for ten long years Truth is the daughter of Time

Standing up to the balaclava nonces. Inspiring.

🤣

If anyone imagines Donald Trump has the slightest clue about what AI actually is, I have a bridge to sell them. It has towers.

It’s really not a good look.

Politicians ‘talking’ about closer relationships or even rejoining the SM and CU do not automatically get my vote. Talk is cheap. I want to see cast iron promises and timelines. Then I’ll think about voting for you. @libdems.org.uk @greenparty.org.uk @labouruk.bsky.social

They don't need to be proscribed to be banned and have injuctions placed on them to stop them going anywhere near her or her family. Her fellow villagers need to step up and condemn this loudly and clearly or be shown to be the racist bigots their silly little declaration of Independence was about.

I love this woman. If only her words could reach all human ears. A must watch till the end, Speaker-Vandana Shiva is an Indian scholar, environmental activist, food sovereignty advocate, ecofeminist and antiglobalization author. #WomeninLeadership IG: @maturedgirl

If you think closing an RNLI station is done by people with "legitimate concerns" you really need to give your head a wobble. It's an unforgivable act of thuggery.

Notice how the BBC journalist doesn't mention that the people of Piddington are "worried" because their brains have been rotted by racist propaganda. "They are not far-right." Sure. They are NIMBYs who are patsies for the far-right. Your job is to explain it, not make excuses for it.

Alternatively, no it doesn’t. The main harms of AI aren’t the spurious ‘going rogue’ or ‘being abused’. They’re based on what it does *by design*.

Quite. Today’s Inside Politics newsletter by @stephenkb.bsky.social

If Miliband's comparatively mild, caveated, and strictly targeted criticism of Israeli settler actions are enough to endanger the UK Jewish community & unleash pogroms then: a) We've passed some point of no return. b) Successive UK governments have utterly failed in addressing antisemitism.

‘Footage of party officials talking about concealing payments and taking money from foreign donors is all too familiar to me: I am an expert on state capture.’ Terrific piece from anti corruption professor @lizdavidbarrett.bsky.social on D4S democracyforsale.substack.com/p/reforms-un...

Police launch investigation into five assaults at Reform conference after clips shared online www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

If you can look at this photo without your heart breaking, then you don’t have a soul.

NHS backlog fuelled a private equity gold rush in UK healthcare. All part of Tory plan to hike waiting list, under investment and privatisation of healthcare. Profiteering means less available for frontline services. Higher taxes for lower public value. Ban private equity from all public services

I'll add that the failure to take down those tatty flags last year has just added to the air of intimidation and the sense among these racists that they can do what the fuck they like without consequences

The balaclava blackshirted thugs are a result of a decade of politicians, tabloids and the broadcast media telling racists they have "legitimate concerns." The normalisation of actual fascism rhetoric and action has led to this and is a far greater "legitimate concern" than any migrant on a boat.

I believe the RNLI are responding to legitimate concerns that people might drown.

Essential reading.

West Midlands Police: “We’re aware of a video circulating from the Reform UK Conference showing an incident with a protester. We haven’t received a complaint but would ask the woman to come forward. Anyone with any information should contact us on 101 quoting log number 924-050926”

🤣

This is deeply shocking.

Content warning: Multiple men violently assault a female protester at Reform's conference at the Birmingham NEC, to the visible delight of Nigel Farage.

My name is Captain Dylan Blaha. Last year, I made several videos reminding US service members to disobey unlawful orders. The military suspended my security clearance and launched a full investigation. Nearly a year later, I now know the outcome.

Electricity in the UK isn't expensive because of net zero. Electricity in the UK is expensive because privatised energy companies are ripping us off.

There are ninety-one free zones across the UK. The same secondary legislation. The same governance architecture. The same absence of mandatory audit. Teesworks is not the outlier. It is the instruction manual.

🤣

After reading reports of pollution and the effects of the drought, I've written to UK Prime Minister Burnham to suggest that as Windermere is shallow and full of shit it should be renamed Lake Trump.
