Thank goodness that under President Trump the socialists and Communists have been kept at bay.

Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

I recall v.clearly watching in a local pub when Wright scored for England vs Italy in June 97. The response around me was real fury that a black man had scored for England. The mood was so poisonous that I had to leave. These delusions of English innocence and "who we are" as a country serve no one.

We created gyms because modern day work no
longer required physical activity. Without exercise,
our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al
starts doing our knowledge work.

Well worth reading through these reflections from Stuart. I fully agree with them.

#OTD 6 Oct 1917 civil rights and women's rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer was born in Mississippi. She defied arrests, white supremacists, and police to vote, then organised to register thousands of other Black people to vote across the South stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1066...

If I worked in a maternity ward, I'd call those tags you put round babies wrists 'The Born Identity'.

I think part of the problem is that, in seeking to firewall against Nazism since WWII, we created a vacuum in knowledge about Hitler that leaves space for this sort of idiocy. The best antidote to these people would be greater popular familiarity with what a freak and loser Hitler really was.

I don't think it's any secret that women and children are going to suffer way more negative effects from AI than men are, not least from the abusive imagery, which is already completely rife. What are we even doing when this fact gets so routinely ignored by politicians and the media?
