Excited to be bringing this recent documentary by Jessi Gutch to Stroud with Stroud Film Festival. We are so lucky that Jessi will be joining us to introduce her film.
Followed by Q&A with Jessi and myself + local speakers Rami Emad, Tom Herbert and Ronnie McGrath.

Rooting for Hannah Spencer to win in Gorton and Denton @greenparty.org.uk 🔥 Would love to hear more from her if she were an MP. She could make such a positive difference to the state of our politics.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

A marathon day spent in NFT1 yesterday for the Laura Mulvey Symposium at BFI Southbank, really great set of panels, and Laura being impressive as ever - in opening conversation with Oliver Fuke and later with closing remarks, then again introducing her film with Peter Wollen, The Bad Sister.

Over on other channels I've announced my first peer review journal article. Seeing the finished article as a downloadable pdf it dawned on me how it actually feels to not only write in a personal capacity academically but also to put it out there.

This contribution to the volume of human misery is yet another policy from Labour based on a false premise, in this case that refugees are overly attracted to Britain. It will increase bureaucratic limbo, thus making worse the problem of "cohesion" it purports to solve.

this is a basically undeniable take when reading robots in terms of their origin in Karel Čapek's play R.U.R.
really should get around to writing my take that "AI uprising/robot uprising" fiction is just barely sublimated fear of domestic slave revolt
It is morally wrong to want a computer to be sentient. If you owned a sentient thing, you would be a slaver. If you want sentient computers to exist, you just want to create a new kind of slavery. The ethics are as simple as that. Sorry if this offends
