There's very little in the world I find as obnoxious as the phrase "needs updating" when used like this. There's nothing wrong with that concept, it still holds up. If good people refuse to vote for better opponents, or just refuse to vote, then the evil wins.
Elon Musk is CEO of 5 companies actually.
I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
I once had an letter from a pension provider telling me that they've got great news, I can still contribute to my pension through to 2060. When I turn 75. I'm seriously questioning the point of a pension.
"Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence software, Grok, continues to generate sexualized images of people without their consent, despite his company’s pledge months ago to halt abusive deepfakes after a public backlash and government investigations." @davidingram.bsky.social keeping tabs:
Pugs are a particular cruelty of human vanity. They should never have been bred and it absolutely should be illegal to breed them
It amazes me that the anti-genetic engineering crowds haven't been screaming this from every available rooftop for years.
Here's another hint: this doesn't just work with asylum & immigration language and claims
The Welsh Refugee Council has launched a thought-provoking social media campaign urging Senedd candidates to carefully consider the language they use when discussing asylum seekers and their rights ✍️ Emily Price
The Trump administration rewrote their entire foreign policy doctrine on Europe to make it about supporting administrations like Orbán's. That might have skipped the attention of most Americans, but we definitely noticed it over here.
We really need to stop this weird right-wing definition of a pension as a benefit. It isn't.
I do wonder if we just abolished the DWP roles of investigating individuals for benefit fraud & absorbed the cost, how much more would be available for benefits pensions?
RIP Máire Brennan, her voice has haunted my life, in a good way, since I was too small to know what I was listening to.
he's counting on people not knowing what a doctor looks like because they don't have healthcare
In the words of Frank Herbert: "Power attracts the corruptible"
Trump's only contribution was to threaten a 23% budget cut to NASA hours after Artemis II launched
There's always a tweet
“Angela Rayner ‘dodged’ paying the correct amount of tax.
Her position is morally indefensible.

Farage saying don't deny visas due to speech
Farage minion wanting to deny visas to whole countries based on speech of their government he disagrees with
Free speech news
THIS SUMS IT UP AS WELL AS ANYONE CAN:
I've not stopped thinking about this possibility, I'm assuming defense ministries have been dragging out old contingencies & wargaming this to death right now.
I'd also be hoping the combined diplomatic corps are doing everything they can to dissuade the prison escapees from thinking its an option
I'm loving these Easter themed science cartoons. We absolutely didn't have these when I was growing up.
You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch
This quote from Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell has been in my head the last few days
Palantir’s UK boss has urged the government not to give in to “ideologically motivated campaigners”... who could that be? 👀
