I’m calling on Ofcom to restrict UK access to Elon Musk’s X until the platform puts an end to the production of sickening abusive AI images. A line has been crossed & it’s time for the regulator to show it has some teeth. Honestly, I can’t believe the government hasn’t acted. It beggars belief.

I have a general rule that any presentation based on words starting with the same letter is bollocks.
I once asked a famous CEO who gave a presentation on the "10 Cs of business" what the chances were of the ten most important things all starting with a C. He wasn't pleased.

At political cabinet today, Morgan McSweeney gave a presentation on “three Es” on how the government can connect with voters - emotion, empathy and evidence.
Am told he said the government currently has a “deficit in emotion”

Elon Musk chatbot repeatedly making CSAM on demand should be one of the single biggest stories right now and it's effectively a collective shrug instead

I’ll say what CNN is afraid to say: Trump knows that María Corina Machado is the most popular person in Venezuela and the in-country opposition leader—thus, the obvious new Venezuelan leader—and he lied and said she *wasn’t* popular because she won the Nobel Peace Prize over him.

Trump: “We’re going to run the country until such time as we can have a safe, proper, transition…so we are going to run the country until we can have a safe…judicious transition.”
So Trump, for the time being, is effectively saying for now he’s also President of Venezuela.

Just another regular day on this broken island when a well-known UK trans-exclusionary academic gets blanket media coverage to share her experience of being 'cancelled' by a university.

Oh and now she's on Radio 4 complaining again about being cancelled so I've had to turn it off. The BBC is such a disgrace.
Total gaslighting. Anti-trans activist; chooses to speak in person, provoking students who want to protect trans rights; they exercise their freedom of speech to tell her she isn't wanted; she gets to speak anyway; the BBC dutifully platforms her again; and now she threatens to sue everyone.

Your annual reminder that if you get this cracker joke and are confused by it, it's apparently because "ffi" is a special character in some fonts and when the typeface is changed to one that doesn't have it, those letters disappear. It's supposed to be "coffin medicine".

The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party.
