It's also possible that the DUP want to remove the UK from the ECHR to reverse the very reason why the Good Friday Agreement requires ECHR participation in the first place - because the European Court of Human Rights had found the UK govt accountable for human rights breaches in Northern Ireland
As with Ballymena, what's useful about the DUP's acquiescence to far right fearmongering about migrants is that it's so very clearly just about the racism.
Net migration to NI *for the past 22 years* amounts to less than 62,000 people. That's less than 3k a year, in a state of 1.9 million people.

I do wish people would treat transphobia as the serious red flag it is, because if someone is repeating bullshit pseudoscience talking points from right wing cranks, that's just as bad as conceding to anti-vax nonsense and undermining trust in science and medicine, alarm bells should be sounding!

The Prime Minister's X feed currently looks like an advertising platform for Reform's messaging. Distinctly aggressive dog whistles with highly racialised imagery designed to dehumanise and demonise people, and ignores protections guaranteed under international law into the bargain.

“TBD Lab” is a great name for the general business model of “we don’t have a practical application yet but we DO have a powerful hype narrative that got us a shitload of VC funding”
Restructuring inside Meta divides AI efforts into four teams: one working on superintelligence, called TBD Lab, that houses many of the new hires; a second working on AI products; a third working on infrastructure; and a fourth dedicated to projects with a longer time horizon and more exploration.

MIT’s NANDA initiative found that 95% of generative AI deployments fail after interviewing 150 execs, surveying 350 workers, and analyzing 300 projects. The real “productivity gains” seem to come from layoffs and squeezing more work from fewer people not AI.
