My prediction - Trump will get bored of the war in Iran. Heβll make up a fake claimed βvictoryβ and leave the Iranian people with the son of the last ayatollah (because he never actually cared about them), leaving the world the exact same as it was before but a bit sh*tter.

Teachers are worried about your child's AI 'best friend', writes Natasha Devon | LBC
We must ensure children understand chatbots are often incorrect and always just pretending to care about us
Iβll be chatting to @mrjamesob.bsky.social at 12.30 on @lbc.co.uk about some conversations Iβve been having with young people about their relationships with AI chatbots. In the meantime, hereβs a piece I wrote about it for LBC Views - www.lbc.co.uk/article/teac...

Musk, worth $829 billion, owns X.
Bezos, worth $234 billion, owns The Washington Post & Twitch.
Zuckerberg, worth $231 billion, owns Facebook, Instagram & WhatsApp.
And now Larry Ellison, worth $202 billion, is about to control CNN, CBS, TikTok & HBO.
Yes, this is oligarchy.

Only 22% of the population actually want this according to polling. The right wing media are desperately trying to manufacture consent.

There is nothing more threatening to the right wing than a cis trans inclusive feminist woman. They donβt know how to handle it at all.

Those saying βhas Farage even considered war with Iran will result in more asylum seekers arriving by small boat?β. Of course he has. He doesnβt really want to stop the boats. He needs them for his grievance politics and to persuade the population to support policies which will harm them.

"Thatβs the thing about normal people: we talk to each other, depend on one another, forge bonds, fall in love and make babies with people from different cultures to our own. The forced deportation half Reform voters support would cause absolute devastation, tearing apart families and communities."
