I’m relatively agnostic on whether LLMs could eventually be as good as they say (though i definitely think its abilities are oversold right now). I just think even the optimistic narrative is dystopian

The most innocent of moments - a young Palestinian girl filming herself showing her hair clips - is interrupted by Israeli missiles.

Yes, they shoot missiles at kids in tents. Don't tell me it's complicated

Jana and her brother survived, but the rest of their family was killed

This World Cup draw is such a depraved fucking spectacle I’m beginning to wish Scotland hadn’t qualified

Love the necropolis. Me and my pal used to climb in over the wall on the Dennistoun side when we were wee. Back when they used to teach us about the ‘tobacco lords’ who were buried there and all the grand houses they built. All while managing never to mention the word slavery…

The humiliations keep piling up this season. Thoughts with all the tims in America who are going to have well-intentioned acquaintances make conversation with them around this.

2 days after the Tories announce their plan to mass deport legal migrants long granted permanent residency, adopting a position more extreme than the old BNP, the Labour Home Secretary [*the Labour Home Secretary*] piles in with this, designed to weaponize resentment at asylum seekers.

Incessant racists tell me they are v confident that racial hatred is de facto legal these days

Its hard to say they are wrong.

The police officer does want to prosecute this one: he is impeded by platform refusal & police/CPS capacity to pursue, among other factors

EU Child Sexual Abuse Regulation closer to original form would have represented most significant legislative pushback against tech companies so far. But it’s been gutted by an unholy alliance of tech companies and privacy zealots (privacy rights should be protected but not supersede everything else)

The main story on BBC 6 Music News this morning is that a ‘boat carrying migrants is on its way to France’

Delivered in the same upbeat tone as England winning the women’s Euros.

The migration ‘debate’ in this country is unmoored from reality, and the media-political complex is feeding it

Spectator cover from 20th September, 2025, headlined Weimar Britain, featuring a piece from Andrew Tate and a baffling assortment of fashy, cod-Weimar imagery including a woman in flapper dress vaping as her phone buxxes on a table, some sort of altercation between a man and a woman while the Maschinenmensch from Metropolis looks on; a disembodied sexy leg and a cannabis leaf; Palestinian protesters depicted as literal demons burning Israeli flags, and some white arrows set in turquoise which might represent Reform's logo, or might be somehow connected to the bouncing bitcoin and banknotes they're set beside.

The Spectator really saying the quiet part loud with their brand new "degenerate scum need fascism now" front page, which also promises an article by Andrew Tate.

The niche content I’d like is an update on Matt O’Riley’s mum and dad. Have they moved to Brighton now? Do they miss Glasgow? #DomAndGitte

On the other place, Nick Robinson himself took the time to respond to my question about evidence for his claim that “more & more people” are coming to Europe through Turkey.

What an honour. Too bad his stats are out of date.

I always wonder what Jimmy Conway was like as a patient when he went to the optician.
