100% agree. Cuts to overseas aid unconscionable. If you don’t stand up for anything, you stand for nothing.

Sign the petition: Scrap plans to cut aid I just signed the petition calling on the PM not to cut support for the world’s poorest to pay for more defence spending - tax the ultra rich instead! Can you sign too?

Please sign to stop the Overseas Aid cuts. Exactly the opposite of what Labour said in its manifesto. act.38degrees.org.uk/act/reactive...

The UK Government is consulting on changes that could weaken copyright protections, allowing AI firms to use creative content without permission or payment.

🚨 Tech firms pay for electricity to power AI. why not pay for the content that fuels it?

But I would wholeheartedly recommend Beautiful Anonymous where Chris Gethard talks to a stranger for an hour. A wonderful window into other lives.

This is from a book called Exciting Things to Make With Paper which perhaps, on reflection, should more decently have been called Upsetting Things to Make With Paper
