I guarantee he gets much more abuse for his politics and personality than his nationality
I don't believe much of it. The police probably said he should get an alarm - I expect they say it to all pols, actually - but I doubt if they said it's cos of anti-English stuff.
This is hilarious, sorry Alex

No transfers from Labour should be in the Greens' top team or act as spokespeople. They should spend at least a few years as unimportant normal members/candidates. As penance, but also to keep the Greens' integrity intact...
The full quote was about how mainstream media, including film is dying and how he doesn’t want it to fall out of favour like Opera and Ballet have, being a niche, elite entertainment that can only continue to survive though heavy subsidies. It was about wanting it to feel relevant in the culture.
This Timothée Chalamet thing is a great example of how things get taken out of context. This interview was from a month ago, and the comments about Opera and Ballet went unnoticed until someone clipped it missing off the first half of what he said, changing the meaning. And sure he worded it badly
You and me, we'd refuse to do this. We'd refuse to pretend it was unknown who hit the school, that it wasn't even suggested the yanks did it. We wouldn't struggle to answer the question of whether of not incinerating a school full of children was a war crime.
They do it, though.
There are a lot of people in the quotes who are amusingly overconfident in their ability to spot AI either from habits it has or just a lack of human "vibe" and both attitudes are pretty dangerous tbh - you can't assume everything with em dashes or rhetorical triples is AI!
What’s fucking enraging about this is that every lovely turn of phrase the AI churns out is human-authored. Google each fragment of the below - “forged in dying stars,” “created in stellar furnaces,” “the universe is not indifferent to us,” “implicated in something vast” - and you’ll find a source.
imo the Times (sucks, and) purposefully went out of its way to choose the cornier, blunter quotes of these authors & the ones that exhibit A.I. writing habits (lists in 3, simile, "not just x but y"...The things these bots trained from) and told Claude to emulate it but less corny. A real set-up lol
Embarrassing clickbait. The problem with AI writing isn't really at sentence level...
Yeah, a lot of these old Victorian buildings haven't been maintained well
Ooh interesting.
There's definitely plenty of that around!
If it had been The Egyptian Halls, on the other hand...
If they do, I will reconsider
Another reason I don't think the Central fire is sketchy is, well, I doubt they're going to sell the site to some developer to build student flats
a lot of comments this morning about the rate at which old buildings in Glasgow go up in flames so I just want to say: as a bystander with no direct knowledge of this fire, but a good bit of knowledge about old buildings burning, i don’t think this one is sketchy.

So much for the notion that the Olympics / Paralympics are a peace project, huh?
The discovery of the man, who was wearing nothing but a £200 XXL wetsuit, sparked extensive police searches and international appeals, but no loved ones have ever come forward.
"The wetsuit that he was wearing was classed as an XXL size which gave us a weight range of approximately 200 to 220 pounds," Ponting said.
In today's episode of 'BBC journalists misunderstanding stuff': at the start of this article I wondered what the price of the wetsuit had to do with it, then towards the end all became clear.

Especially because there are a million legit photos!
Glad we've boiled a lake to generate a picture of a bridge labelled with its nickname.
Obviously it's entirely the wrong corner, but for me it's a toss up between the people still waiting for a train on the inside of a police cordon and the Heilanman's Umbrella with a big sign designating it "the Heilanman's Umbrella" that truly elevates this to Art
What the actual hell
Awful news about Glasgow Central, I'm still hoping the station itself escaped serious damage.
But while we're here, can anyone spot the problem with the news photo below, from thetraveler.org/glasgow-cent...?
We've really got to STOP using AI to fake things.
About the best outcome possible for the union street fire - nobody hurt and the station seems OK, which seemed unlikely last night!
Gonna be such a mess for a while though

No report in the Guardian about a woman MP being attacked on International Women’s Day by transphobic fascists after just a week in the job.
They have these “news” items though
