A man in a blue hoody faces a poster in a shopping centre that reads “Join World and (plane emoji) get rewarded (heart emoji present emoji) just for being (emoji of a stick figure with arms out) human”

A banner in shopping mall reads “free workouts with your new ClassPass membership with a verified WorldID” a man in black clothes sits on a wooden box facing away from the camera

The man in the blue hoodie gazes towards a large Orb device

The highs and lows of shopping malls; went down to Wandsworth and spotted that Orb has the gall to try and get UK folks to rat themselves out by giving up their biometrics to Sam Altman and a16z’s blockchain for pennies in reward points. Good luck with how much the UK public dislikes digital IDs.

"Our trans siblings deserve our support and encouragement, endorsement and vindication now more than ever as the rising tide of transphobia threatens to engulf not just trans people but everybody who associates with them." Stephen Fry in a video message for Transmission

I know some disagree but someone like Stephen Fry changing his mind and doing a complete 180 after supporting She Who Must Not Be Named, is a good thing and is evidence that attitudes are changing.

‘Drinking from a fetid pond’: superbug-creating genes found in UK’s largest lake Exclusive: Lough Neagh, which supplies drinking water for 40% of NI, contains genes resistant to last-resort antibiotics

Superbugs resistant to antibiotics are rising fast. I tested water at Lough Neagh (40% of Northern Ireland’s drinking water) & found high levels of antibiotic-resistant genes from human & livestock poo. If we treat waterways like sewers, this is what we get. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Lots of photos of Zack Polanski speaking at Transmission, and full credit to him, but here's @eddavey.libdems.org.uk and I chatting on the stage at Wembley, before the concert began.

who up suffering

The plot of this ep is the Enterprise computer said Kirk killed a man by jettisoning prematurely even with a visual record, and its been taken at face value, but everyone is just believing the machine because its a machine, and that is insanely relevant now as it was probably hypothetically then lol

Dark money group offers influencers $1,500 for posts attacking Chicago Democratic primary candidate Progressive House candidate Kat Abughazaleh told MS NOW the secretive campaign is “filled with false and defamatory claims.”

bruh

it’s unreal how these grown-ass men had no problem destroying untold lives with chatGPT but go crying to a judge when people make fun of them online

The thing about this is (1) Hegseth manages to look bad regardless, and (2) even if he didn't, turning these things into clown shows means fewer people are going to bother with it, so it's less effective as propaganda.

The "neutral" press *help* competent administrations get their message out.

Lawyer behind AI psychosis cases warns of mass casualty risks | TechCrunch AI chatbots have been linked to suicides for years. Now one lawyer says they are showing up in mass casualty cases too, and the technology is moving faster than the safeguards.

“Our instinct at the firm is, every time we hear about another attack, we need to see the chat logs because there’s [a good chance] that AI was deeply involved…”

objection your honor, my client is being brutally owned online

Murdering random Jews in response to Israeli state violence is violent antisemitism. It shouldn't be necessary to state that. And yet

“If you’re not doing anything illegal, then you got nothing to worry about!”

Also: “Existing in public space without buying anything will lead to the authorities being called.“

Elon Musk Says He's Epically Screwed Up at xAI, Is Rebuilding "From the Foundations" Musk is admitting that his AI company xAI is in deep trouble — and in need of a deep overhaul, a surprising admission.

I am dedicated to living long enough to watch his entire empire collapse

I know how much a PhD costs.

Why the fuck would someone spend that much if they're not learning anything?

What's the point? Do AI enthusiasts not understand that this entire idea invalidates the notion of higher education? Why would I trust someone who used AI to get through school to do anything?

"I got my PhD by writing prompts instead of doing research, I'm winning"

got some bad news, there still no jobs and now you also know nothing

An autistic woman’s quarterly rebrand has failed to alter her miserable existence apart from making her hair look slightly different, eyewitnesses have claimed.

It's somewhat heartening, that after a decade plus of highly funded anti trans campaigning, they're still a pretty small minority of bigots

Coming up with a post-hoc theory section when your results are weird:

"Anti-DEI" is nothing but unfiltered hatred for anyone who has the audacity to demand respect while not being rich and white. I hate when these mouth breathers try to dress it up as anything else

Palantir is back in the news.

I simply refuse to believe this isn’t a Chris Morris sketch:

A very good and extremely cool article about professional scold and embarrasment Katharinee Birbalsingh by Séamas J. O'Reilly which you can read in its entirety at the following link, but which has here been printed out and presented to a 15 year old girl who now thinks I am "cool". https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/mar/01/the-dogma-of-britains-strictest-headmistress-is-a-con-as-old-as-time-gentle-parenting-produces-happier-kids

It's finally happened. One of my nieces or nephews has had to offer analysis on one of my articles for her GCSE mocks.

Morrissey contemplating something (probably something racist)

Me surveying the all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet station at Toby Carvery.

The parents in the study were interested in the toy's potential to teach language and communication skills. However, their children frequently struggled to converse with it. Gabbo didn't hear their interruptions, talked over them, could not differentiate between child and adult voices and responded awkwardly to declarations of affection. When one five-year-old said, "I love you," to the toy, it replied: "As a friendly reminder, please ensure interactions adhere to the guidelines provided. Let me know how you would like to proceed."

This is so tragic it's actually incredibly funny

Hannah Spencer nailed it in her maiden speech, you can't have equality without solidarity. This International Women’s Day, we stand shoulder to shoulder with our trans siblings.

As I am fond of saying, Britain leads the world in offshore wind power and for god's sake the govt need to do 2 things. One is to run ads saying Windmills Are Beautiful And Look At All This Power That They Make For Us, and the second is force the electricity companies to lower bills drastically

I'm sure the ultrabigots running the show there will be even more normal about this particular EU ruling than usual
