All my imagined AI scenarios end in some form of violence

Why does 'you already have the face' sound so ominous...?

Very sad and terrible timing for those of us who will need @ukandeu.bsky.social's steady expert view in the coming months (years)

This is where we are. Live stream executions for Maga porn. Such barbarism is not easily wiped away.

European Greens not fucking around here: this is a very strong statement.

I did not care for it

They probably won't let me back on the Naked Week for admitting it, but I *may* have chuckled at some of this

It's hard to see how the Green party's motion today will avoid an investigation by the EHRC, given Labour was previously found in breach.

Rabbi Charley Baginsky and Rabbi Josh Levy of the Movement for Progressive Judaism have released this statement, arguing that by adopting this motion, "the Green Party has made antisemitism party policy and become a racist party"

The statement also says they oppose "genocide, ethnic cleansing, apartheid and the illegal occupation" as well as "the heinous crimes of the Netanyahu government". Adds: "We know there is no conflict between supporting the rights of Palestinians and the rights of Jewish people."

Green MPs have issued a joint statement following the Zionism is racism motion, saying they "will never tolerate any form of discrimination or harassment", and work to ensure the party is "an anti-racist party in every way" (1/2)

From an activist: "[Amendment] 3 [falling] was the most brutal imo. It is proposed by a Jewish member who has already been victimised and called for a clause that protects Jewish members from being targeted because they belong to a synagogue or other group that identifies as Zionist."

Conversely, they clearly find Angela Rayner iconic

"Turncoat" Robert Jenrick appears (at least) six times in the Tory tapestry. Bearing in mind he's not the only defector, that's quite a hit rate...

Bit rich with the Russian stamp on that envelope, coming from the Tories who were more than happy to accept sizeable donations from Lubov Chernukhin, Alexander Temerko etc. Unforgivable and unforgettable.

Burnham's eyes really *pop* on the label for the sweets (aka my lunch)
