This is the thing, if "academia" wanted to stop this, we could easily tomorrow. Over 3 incorrect references? Rejected and forbidden to submit next year.
The purpose of a system is what it does!
We need to appeal to all the proud white Britons who want to protect women and children from brutal, primitive men, to keep their Union Jack-draped demos lawful as they protest this rape: yet another of the 74,000 at least committed by a white British man each year:

1. people reflexively blame AI for problems because it's obviously harmful in many domains
2. Bluesky (now "entirely AI-coded" acc. to staff) keeps breaking
3. AI is blamed. Devs say no, it's web service issues, scold AI-blamers for their ignorance
4. devs admit it was actually AI code at fault
lol
The youth of today. A disgusting performance from a stripling of 77...
Wonder how he votes?
“Reform plagued by vetting issues”
Candidates found to have “grotesque” views.
Come on. It’s not the vetting, is it.
It’s the party. Whatever they do, they’ll always attract the racists, homophobes, misogynists and haters. Because that’s Farage. That’s Reform.

I really don't see any choice. We need to stick with Starmer until the bitter end. If it turns out he becomes the first sitting prime minister to lose his seat in a general election, I'm sure that's a sacrifice he'll be willing to make #stability #forensic
Bookends for a low, dishonest decade here: from cranky auntie Margaret on ITV saying that getting a letter for publicly roaring abuse at her boss reminded her of her relatives under the Third Reich, to Margaret explaining that Jobs For The Lads are fine actually, for the correct type of Lads.
"The errors are the latest example of a professional services firm grappling with the use of cutting-edge technology to speed up laborious research and cut down on staffing while also trying to maintain quality standards." - it's just greed. These firms have the money, they are just cutting corners.
"jUsT eXeRtInG tHeIr RiGhT tO dEfEnD tHeMsElVeS" - Keir Starmer, PM.
Hi all, just sent out free midweek update on USA-Iran. Normally bad superlatives are used about war--the worst, the most destructive, etc. These are rarely warranted. However in this case we have one superlative, we are witnessing the most corrupt war in US history. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...
A local tattoo artist posted a video on Instagram of him asking two blokes in hi-vis not to put up an England flag on the lamp post outside his shop. Consequence: a flood of bad Google reviews including the predictable “paedo” allegations (“he touched my daughter” etc). Truly the shittiest people.
Ha ha! Reminds me of the spoof news report from 2 September 1939 in The Onion's Our Dumb Century...
Keir Starmer says he did want to know about Peter Mandelson, but how was Olly Robbins to know that Starmer wanted to know, when Starmer looked so much like someone who didn't want to know? thecritic.co.uk/the-...
Sorry Wolves fans. Even Robert Plant in his keks couldn't save you 😔
Graham Linehan screaming at a teenager. "Disgusting, little, sissy porn-watching scumbags!"
Day 2 - Graham Linehan's evidence (cross-examination by Julia Faure Walker KC, cont.) - Julia Faure Walker KC: "The expression 'sissy-porn watching'?" - Graham Linehan: "That was something I feel a little bit of regret about - because that was a guess. I think he does what he does because he's a sadist." - Julia Faure Walker KC: "There are all manner of insults you could have used." - Graham Linehan: "Yes." - Julia Faure Walker KC: "But you chose 'sissy-porn.'"'
- Graham Linehan: "It's sissy-porn." - Julia Faure Walker KC: "You must be more familiar with it than me." - Graham Linehan: "Oh, I am — I really am."
im not making it up.
this is actual court transcript.
'improved...'
Times Radio • @TimesRadio • 4m "A whole new policy agenda without a general election...is the country comfortable with that?" Kat McCann asks if the country would be comfortable with Labour replacing Starmer.
Hahahahaha oh my god yes, imagine if the country voted for something and was then given something quite different! Unthinkable, inconceivable
A tweet from Pope Leo XIV that reads: “When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.”
Apparently the Pope has read Baudrillard.
Unbelievable, it's after midnight and some fuckers are having a fucking fireworks display. The people round here are fucking chav scum.
I'm gonna be honest I think it's probably bad that we're trying to give this extremely obviously nazi company all of our health data.
Definitely the best £3 I’ve spent recently

One Labour official who knows Starmer well said that while McSweeney, a protégé of Mandelson’s, wanted to send him to Washington, Starmer was never that close to him.
“Keir didn’t even really like Mandy, and suspended his judgment as he does so often,” the person said. “At that point, the machine took it [Mandelson’s appointment] as his intention and does what the British state does, which is bend the process to the signal it thinks is being broadcast from the principal.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xbnsfdtxoothg654ujxe3p25/bafkreiahacitqx2pija6wp6zpsqloak2ukhpsfz5oiptr4x2vgbvn3vtiq)

An all-time classic entry in the hall of fame 'does the person saying this realise how damning it is?' quotes:
A lot of people are still in the denial about how much the median Democratic voter, the median Democratic volunteer, and the median Democratic activist has shifted on a variety of issues. Well here's the handpicked candidate of Chuck Schumer being booed, about Gaza, at the Dem convention.
Infrastructure isn't supposed to turn a profit.
The sewers aren't supposed to be profitable.
The parks aren't supposed to be profitable.
The postal service isn't supposed to be profitable.
The "profit" is in how it enables everyone in society to do more.
And this is with the all-channels hard sell
Funny to see the whole 'you shouldn't change leaders in the middle of a war' argument being trotted out for current Starmer-Mandelson revelations when the UK is a country that literally changed its Prime Minister in both WWI and II.
A rare quadruple-tap which killed four medics and wounded six more.
In total over 90 healthcare workers have been assassinated by Israel since the beginning of the intensified strikes on Lebanon by Israel.
Sam Harris is a racist. And this has been expressed primarily through Islamophobia and Zionism, right back to The End of Faith where he mindlessly regurgitated lies about the Palestinians and the Nazis that he got from plagiarist and pro-Israel propagandist Alan 'kept his underwear on' Dershowitz.
