BBC accused of 'extraordinary' anti-Green bias after party say the Laura Kuenssberg Show scrapped a promised interview with @zackpolanski.bsky.social on Sunday.
Green sources say the show also refused to interview Polanski after he was elected as leader last month

Adam Raine, 16, died from suicide in April after months on ChatGPT discussing plans to end his life. His parents have filed the first known case against OpenAI for wrongful death.
Overwhelming at times to work on this story, but here it is. My latest on AI chatbots: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/t...

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations
When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

we really do need to figure out how this guy managed to create an environment where he can say "i wasted an amount of taxpayer dollars so large I can't even tell you how much it was" & it doesn't cause immediate national outrage

this! don't call me a "denialist", "pessimist" or anything negative if I have all the empirical evidence and receipts while the other side shows up with "potentials", "possibilities" & other buzzword. call me an expert, a scientist or a realist
Hm. Don't think I'm on board with calling AI skeptics/critics "denialists." Seems to obscure the fact that there is an ideological contestation at play, rather than, as with climate change, an empirical or even epistemological one.

Completely devoured the audiobook of @adelewalton.bsky.social's 'Logging Off: The Human Cost of our Digital World.'
A personal yet thoroughly researched and accessible look at growing up with social media, big tech, gen-AI, workers rights, and more. Felt equally terrifying and galvanising 📚

3 years today since I lost my dad. I wrote this 6 months after and every word is still true.

The employee asked the girl and her mother if they needed help shopping. That’s it. That’s all. The misinformation, the insinuations (because the facts are inconveniently benign) are EXACTLY what was done to lesbians in the 80s. This is the product of hate and fear, not reality.

my post office has had a small refurb, and where there used to be colouring books and stationery there is now a locked glass cabinet filled with vape pens and labubus and it made my heart a little sad

Performed my writing for the first time very recently at an Off the Chest open mic!
Despite the trembling notebook, I am really so proud of this and can’t wait to do more and build my confidence🫰🏼🎤

Pleased to have voted today for @zackpolanski.bsky.social as Leader of @greenparty.org.uk – truly think he can make some real progress for the left in the UK, and hopefully open up collaboration with Corbyn, Sultana, and the new party forming 💚

Haven’t stopped thinking about the Skims ‘Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap’ and morning sheds on TikTok, and ‘high maintenance to be low maintenance,' and thus felt compelled to write something. millicentwrites.substack.com/p/the-mornin...

🚨 SUMMER OF ACTION FOR GAZA
Israel is starving the Palestinian people in Gaza to death with its blockade. We must take emergency action to pressure our government to do all it can to end Israel's genocide. Take part in our Summer of action for Gaza in August and September.

I think this mass produced trinket culture is for sure a recession marker. We are looking for any semblance of control so we buy ‘little treats’ because it’s all we can afford that will offer that agency.
