Iqbal Mohamed MP, one of the 60 UK politicians who signed PauseAI's open letter to Google - "The UK government and the governments around the world need to step up and protect the people that elected them."
I think it would be really funny if I only posted left-wing content on here from now on and only posted right wing and centrist content on X/Twitter, and people would be like "wait, you're the same person"?
(Also much safer, to be fair)
Yes, this is fascism.
For years, historians and experts were cautious about using the f-word to describe today's events. But that hesitation is gone now. 🧵
Boris Johnson apparently believed that we should ignore group disparities when it came to immigration policy. That led to the Boriswave which, some would argue, led to the UK's poor per capita productivity figures that we see today.
Across the country, workers who were just ordered back to the office have now learned that their agencies will no longer occupy the buildings they once were in, leaving them scrambling to figure out how to honor Trump’s return-to-office mandate with vastly fewer offices.
A first-ever analysis of fire death rates in modern four-to-six-story buildings with only one stairway shows that residents are not at greater risk, and such buildings could provide much-needed housing. @pewtrusts.org

Raw Egg Nationalist disgusts me, but I have a lot of time for Lyman Stone. What's wrong with him? I follow him on Twitter and he seems to be a genuine, serious academic.
And guess which one meets today’s energy and structural code compliance? Guess one doesn’t? And also, guess which one is more likely to be around the next 50+ years without severe maintenance?
The risk-reward calculation of mirror life is clear, I tell @newscientist.com. “The potential benefits are fairly limited, and the risks are very large.”

What are realistic and unrealistic expectations for men to have when initially dating - before they are in a relationship? I am asking about expectations for dating, NOT relationships.
I suggest you start a charity called Treats for All then. Count me out. I'm an Effective Altruist.
Or they could just cut taxes...
LK-99 reproduced in a Big Lab and seems fully legitimate at this point. Just incredibly hard to make at any scale.
It's made from lead so lead poisoning is back on the menu, maybe safer than the last wonder breakthrough graphene which basically stopped because it gave people turbomesothelioma
Hold on, ChatGPT was trained using tweets, until Elon found out and shut it down.
How is this any different? Why delete your account now?
Threads Vs Bluesky Vs your favourite other Mastodon server?
Which do you prefer?
I guess it's probably going to depend on the culture and the content because the UIs seem similar.
You’ll recall that when Musk bought Twitter, he paid a rich premium: $54.20 a share. Some of the 1,350 or so X employees are still receiving regular stock grants at that price, and the occasional windfalls have been enough to keep them at their jobs over the past year of tumult.
