Righteous anger, a politician with conviction who lives his authentic values. No weasel words, vacuous or disingenuous replies. Leadership
A Government of cowards.
Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.
They can't get away with this.

Do NOT license your voice to ElevenLabs.
Their highest-paid actor made $30k last year. Sounds a lot, but that’s from 1.2 bn paid uses - $0.000025 per job. ElevenLabs charge 20 cents per 1,000 words. So they’re making at least 8,000 times what their artists are.

Monopolies are bad. Especially in media & entertainment, like WB.
Without varying viewpoints & perspectives, this monopoly will stifle consumers use of critical thinking / deductive reasoning to ascertain what is true & what has value. It will suppress unique ideas/voices.
There's no growth.

Yesterday, the Doctor Who socials posted about their weekly livestream! But they left this cryptic message in the comments.
I went through the livestream and found 3 words added into the clips. Putting these three words into What3Words gave the Millennium Plaza in Cardiff as a location! #DoctorWho

Tommy Robinson openly celebrating Labour's new asylum seekers policy should tell everyone exactly how far right Labour are now.
Labour, Reform and Tories are all the same. Right wing parties only interested in making money for their donors.
Do not vote Labour.

Always will recommend Affinity over Adobe, and it's now become free as of the end of last month so there's no excuse not to try. It should be staying that way for the foreseeable (as much as I worry it may not) and is frankly just better
Forever an Adobe hater
This year's attempt by Adobe to bump my Creative Cloud price by more than 10% year-on-year comes with the added fun of them subtly taking "All Apps" out of the tier name.
But, hey, I can't wait for that nebulous "new value".

The BBC must stop attacking trans people | Good Law Project
The right wing accusations of ‘pro-trans’ bias are back to front. It’s time for the BBC to live up to its duty to be impartial on trans issues.
