The dream of technology is now under the control of men who are vain, foolish, self-centred, amoral, desperate for power, and in some cases openly fascistic. iandunt.substack.com/p/how-to-res...

This is really shocking: and true. I discovered I'd just been upgraded without consent to an AI-enshittified package that was about £30 a year more expensive. Strongly recommend anyone who has an Office 365 follow the below advice to get rid of it
Microsoft is going to price gouge you by adding their genAI to your subscription without your consent, and they are not transparent about how to avoid this bullshit.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg’s desperation to be cool as they suck up to Donald Trump is so cringe it makes my skin crawl
I don’t know if anyone else has noticed this but everything seems to be going down the tubes quite fast. And not fun tubes, like at…

Been invited to a webinar to learn how to build a 'content machine' in order to 'post daily', 'create mass, algorithm appeasing content', and 'make my output a lot easier'.
Thanks, but that's not why I went into this profession.

Popped to my local supermarket.
I love music - but honestly, the volume in the shop was bonkers. I could hardly think what I'd gone there for, and left without getting everything.
It must be torture for so many people.
I actually emailed to complain.

This is a good read. Labour needs to up their comms game across the board. Channels, messaging, timing, listening, pre-empting, engaging on a human level…
