The point is, ladies and gentlemen, that woke, for lack of a better word, is good. Woke is right, woke works. Woke clarifies, cuts through and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.

All of these people - Mogg, Farage, Carswell, Jenrick, Hannan and the rest need to be forever reminded of what they backed and supported

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.

Saw a lot of headlines saying "wikipedia is embracing ai" being tossed around tabloids, and I'm pretty sure they were maliciously written to make you feel a certain way about Wikipedia. What's actually happening is that wikipedia is demanding payment for data scraping and the corpos don't like that.
Sure. AI companies have ALWAYS been training their models on Wikipedia content, which under the free and open access model is available to anyone — including AI companies. Agreements like these require AI companies to limit and offset the strain they place on Wikimedia infrastructure.
Hoping that @molly.wiki can help explain.

DuckDuckGo is asking the public to vote on using Ai in their browser. Dunno how many votes have been recorded so far but it’s leaning very strongly in the correct direction

If your child isn’t into Mouse & Rodent Books perhaps they might like Ducks and Other Waterfowl, or why not Lions, Tigers and Leopards?

All my questions should hopefully be answered in the last issue. But:
on noticing how this story stays firmly in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere - is this all some kind of construct that Jonathan is experiencing? How have the events of this thing not drawn any attention from outside?

The UK has declined a new Elbit Systems contract, leading Palestine Action prisoners to end the hunger strike that had three of them on the brink of death. The Tesco worker suspended for refusing to handle Israeli goods has been reinstated and will no longer have to handle them. We can and will win

This ingenious mashup of Shelley Duval’s Popeye and The Shining roles is such a great image. It’s not stop motion but you can really visualise the movement.
