UK - still offended by Brexit Excited by the positive potential of AI - wary of the downside. Marvel at and believe in boundless human ability and shudder at pathetic, merciless leaders destroying the world.

Listen to the whole segment of @mrjamesob.bsky.social on #LBC radio this morning discussing the #chilcott review and “learnings” from the Iraq debacle.

The BBC’s defence is, I believe based on nobody seeing its programme in the States. Wouldn’t work for Fox. Though the 🤡 ought to be grateful to them he’ll probably blame them for the dip in hat sales.

Who knew? I hope my Kindle hasn’t heard of this!
In self-defence I read “A Brave New World” and “ Island” in the last month and a long forgotten Steinbeck. 🤞 @davewakely.bsky.social

An interesting deeper dive into the “cost of war”, thank you. If mankind was civilised enough to resolve ALL issues without resorting to war-and generous enough to want everyone to be well and free - what a wonderful world it could be. 🎶🎶

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

Today, Trump held the "Angel Family" event for families of Americans killed by immigrants and told them ‘I suffer for the Country’ and the shit below. His narcissism knows no boundaries.

I don't post this every day, but I do post it whenever I see it.

Democrats in Congress: PLEASE protect the integrity of the election in November.

So in order to avoid a full scale war in Iran the trump administration is in talks to give Iran "a very limited nuclear enrichment program that they could carry out solely for purposes of medical research and treatments."

You mean the fucking deal Obama made? That you fucking trashed?
You suck.

Looking for smart people to join your team/organisation ?
See and listen to how Ella - an exceptional young lady - handles a TV interview.

Obviously intelligent, demonstrably articulate and self assured. But I suspect she is simply playing to the “rules “ of how you apply for a jog/ career. Is it patronising to guess she may not have access to those who might “introduce” her to opportunities.
One thing we can do is repost this for her

R4 Today presenter pouring scorn on Stephen Kinnock who rationally explained government’s decision to allow local elections in areas (due to legal advice). In effect calling K a liar and sounding like a “gotcha” bully. #BBCbias ?

Trump: ‘There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!’ "I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the very near future," wrote Trump, who is not a lawyer.

Trump is saying that he will disregard Congress and issue an Excutive order that will violate the Constitution.

Here is my promise: If he does that, we will sue and we will win. Just like we did the last time. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

“Women are proud of you, thank you”

Gisèle Pelicot becomes emotional as she responds to messages of support from women across France

The interview with this incredible woman is on BBC iplayer now (‘Gisele Pelicot - the Newsnight Interview’)

Did she really imply that the “right leaders” is the current cabal?

It would (frighteningly) seem so.

The transition from “AI can’t do novel science” to “of course AI does novel science” will be like every other similar AI transition.

First the over-enthusiastic claims that are debunked, then smart people use AI to help them, then AI starts to do more of the work, then minor discoveries, & then…

Interesting that the "no comment" does not refer to the Brazilian company - denying only the Panama connection and the ownership of the property.

Your anthology 10/4/End has given me hours of rage and laughter. I'd gladly send you the royalty element you have lost in respect of the £43 I've "invested" in you books.

Would others too? - Perhaps, if you posted details of royalty % you didn't receive.
