"It is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law."

Something that political leaders would do well to keep in mind.

A milestone document in the history of human rights, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights set out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected. It has been translated...

Carla Denyer MP (Carla Denyer), the Green Party's science and tech spokesperson, has just joined our call for binding regulation on the most powerful AI systems!

110 UK politicians now support our campaign, recognising the risk of extinction posed by superintelligent AI.

Meanwhile, in #England, Zack Polanski protests about Palantir’s infiltration of NHS #England.
Zack Polanski stood outside Palantir HQ to demand that the spy-tech firm - which has supported deadly ICE raids and enabled genocide in Gaza - gets out of our NHS

Say no to Palantir in the NHS ❌👇

Thousands left without water in the middle of winter in the UK. And those same people are now facing a massive bill hike.

Privatised water is a scam.

I've written to the Prime Minister asking why he won't end this rip off and bring failing South East Water into public hands.

Remember folks, don't post anything generated by "AI" without checking it first.

In fact, how about just not posting anything generated by "AI"?

The Home Office’s new TikTok account wants you to see migration through a negative lens.

We refuse this toxic narrative. Migration is a positive force in this country.

I now firmly believe Trump’s handlers are constantly showing him AI slop content - created to support those handlers own individual, often-clashing agendas.

GenAI companies have created Grima Wormtongue as a service.

Today is Day 50 of the Palestine prisoners’ hunger strike.

This Labour government must release all remand prisoners on bail immediately.

If they die, more blood will be on the hands of David Lammy and Keir Starmer.

From 2am, in freezing temperatures, we were forced to protest for more than 12 hours before an ambulance was finally dispatched to HMP Bronzefield so that Qesser Zuhrah could receive the urgent medical care she needs.

We demand immediate bail for all remand political prisoners.

Nigel Farage is probably delighted today that Reform have the most members of a political party.

It doesn't have to be this way.

180,000 and rising. Hope ready to overtake hate.

Stand and be counted.

Neil Henderson is angry that RAF spy plane footage taken over Gaza on the day his son James was killed there in an Israeli drone strike has not been released

The clip is from @declassifieduk.org's new documentary on the RAF spy flights. A must watch.

Not just in West Yorkshire. Down here in Tadcaster (also on the Wharfe) it's not uncommon for the Coastliner (our only bus running at "get to work" times) to just not turn up, or be full when it does arrive.

We deserve better.
🚍 Greens across the #Bradford district are calling for better bus services.

🗣 #Ilkley campaigner @richardwilsoneu.bsky.social is demanding improvements to services in the Wharfe Valley 👇

Curious - just came across a website with a "Go Green" button.

Thing is, it doesn't just remove "items like images and video", but also turns the entire site greyscale. I'm not sure a few .css files add significantly to the energy use, and I wonder what message it's sending about going green.

"AI" is super-intelligent because it knows things which are not things, as well as things that are things.

In the end, my refrain continues to be "if no one felt invested enough in this to actually write it, why should I invest in reading it? If no one felt invested enough in this to draw/record it, why should I invest as much or more effort as an audience?"

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.
