EU: The European Union will require sale of mobile phones with “user-replaceable and longer-lasting batteries” starting in 2027.
The regulation demands “availability of spare parts and manuals for 10 years to curb planned obsolescence”.
Today’s workshop was really fun and we made some brilliant collages 💖
If you’d like to come and give it a go, I’ll be hosting a free drop-in collage session at the Unstable Arts open day on May 16th. The open day is 10-5 and you can come collage with me between 1pm and 4pm ✨

Never should it be forgotten that whilst the Covid vaccine was a huge achievement the failure of the government to give them to children early on led to child deaths and disability. Clinically vulnerable children were left with no protection for two years. No adult had to endure such trauma.
Lobbying needs to be banned, Pro-Israel, Private Healthcare, Fossil Fuel, Water Companies...
If you take a penny you shouldn't just be fired.
You should go straight to jail.
I’ve been watching #SortYourLifeOut with Stacey Solomon on the BBC and I am *so* disappointed to see them putting AI generated art into people’s homes 🙃

Connection with real people requires an emotional vulnerability that feeding your soul into AI does not. But, frankly, the latter creates a very different vulnerability that is far more dangerous.
Frank Frazetta, “Frogs on the Moon” (c. 1973).
Seen in this context, the prospect of deradicalization is nothing more than a forlorn hope for avoiding the harsh reality, which is the following: The only way Israel can ensure how the Gaza Strip will be governed, and who will govern it, is to govern it itself. Moreover, the only way Israel can govern the Gaza Strip without becoming an external oppressor of "another people" is to remove "the other people" from the confines of the Gaza Strip itself. This is the only feasible path to durable deradicalization of Gaza. This is not radical right-wing radicalism. It is merely sound and sober political science. The writer spent seven years in operational capacities in the Israeli defense establishment, is the founder of the Israel Institute for Strategic Studies, a member of the Israel Defense & Security Forum
Open call for the full ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza on the Jerusalem Post.
This is Israeli political culture, and as the author note: “This is not radical right-wing radicalism. It is merely sound and sober political science.”
Genocide as as a science.
Good clouds.

The Senedd has passed legislation paving the way for a ban on lying in Welsh Parliament election campaigns (50 votes for, 1 against), and for a ban on greyhound racing. (39 for, 2 abstentions and 10 against)
The Senedd elections in May will be running on a new voting system based on PR.
When I am door knocking I keep talking to people who have no awareness of this fact.
They are planning their vote as if it were FPTP. They don't realise there will be no candidate names on the ballot.

Yes, I’m definitely trying to use online spaces to supplement real life and not replace it this time round 🥰
