I'm making a picture quiz for my granddad's 80th birthday, one person for each year, and I'm *horrified* at the amount of AI slop when looking for historical figures.
Rosa Parks should never be replaced with some crappy AI dupe. Nor should Stalin or Gagarin. They've made Gagarin American ffs.

the entirety of the british press talked themselves into believing this woman is trans based almost entirely on JK Rowling's judgement of the athlete's appearance.
Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

So the government is going to tax working people on their pension contributions, so they can give even more money to pensioners having a tantrum because they couldn't retire at 60 and were too thick to see the guidance?
Piss *off*. This gerontocracy is transparent, exploitative, and a pisstake.

The framing of 'returning' makes it sound like racism is some kind of freestanding force, as if it were not produced through human communication. Maybe if Starmer is concerned about racism 'returning' he should avoid e.g. calling the UK an "island of strangers".

I see some people are continuing to pretend the Island of Strangers speech was actually quite decent, gaslighting all of those of us who listened to it and even read the white paper.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.
He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

This is outrageous, obscene, and an affront. No man deserves to individually hold the amount of wealth of a sovereign country, especially considering what he’s been doing with the excessive wealth he already has.
