Anyone who paid attention knew that there was no doubt about the official number from the GHM being an undercount due to its historically conservative approach and due to inability to keep pace with the actual death rate. IDF now admits, like it did in 2021 and 2014, that it has an accurate record.

An illuminating thread on the UK gov’s new “20 minute courses in AI”
The course concludes by... prompting* me to sign up for a ChatGPT account. I hope Accenture got paid by ChatGPT, and the govt. got paid by Accenture, and... nobody's paying me are they? No.

*see what I did there? I got ChatGPT to write that**.
** nope.

The government’s suggestion that rolling out 20 minute courses on writing “AI“ prompts, sponsored by Google, Microsoft and Amazon, is somehow comparable to the founding of the Open University (the Wilson government‘s, & Jennie Lee’s, proudest achievement), is an insult to our human intelligence.

The best thing that folks in the UK can do if they’re feeling inspired by folks in the US is to get connected with your local immigration raid watch and other migrant justice groups.

Labour has only been emboldened by the increase of anti-immigrant violence in the US - don’t let it get any worse.
Once again tapping my sign: ICE exist in the UK 🚨 They have had arrest powers since 2000. This government - not a hypothetical future one - is working harder than ever before to raid homes and businesses.
Immigration Enforcement raids at the highest level in UK history
Record number of arrests and raids of illegal workers across the UK including 187 raids in Northern Ireland leading to 234 arrests.

i can't take this seriously, too many performance art vives. why's his voice breaking!!!! i feel like i'm watching some play from the future that's an edgy one man retrospective on trump's presidency.
Trump: "There are windmills all over Europe. There are windmills all over the place. And they are losers. One thing I've noticed is that the more windmills a country has, the more money that country loses, and the worse that country is doing. I haven't been able to find any wind farms in China."

i don't think the 1930s comparisons are that helpful but the british PM being a complete wetwipe focused only on appeasing an aggressive and erratic fascist head of state does not help make them less emotionally appealing
