Observing the anti-AI backlash as someone who has spent any amount of time trying to get people to stop funding animal agriculture is… interesting. So many of the criticism/ about emissions and water use ring a bit hollow when you’ve seen people hand-wave that away for years when it benefited them.

Celebre d'Allen's rider, was handed a 10-day suspension on Saturday after Aintree stewards ruled he had "continued in the race when the horse appeared to have no more to give and was clearly losing ground after the second-last fence.”

Ten days.

I, heroically, do not have a problem with vegans so long as they don’t stand up for animals, criticise anything I do or attempt to disrupt my access to cheeseburgers in any way.

This is very big of me actually.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Many great thinkers have realised the deep moral significance of the subjective.

Tragically, most have failed to realise that the vast majority of subjective perspectives are not human.

Other sentient beings exist. They matter too.

The Warwickshire Hunt tried to hunt multiple foxes during their meet in North Newington. Two of the foxes were hunted in Claydon Hill covert located just behind the meet. Sabs intervened on both occasions to make sure that both foxes got away safely.

Vegan plastic is terrible you guys. Not like regular non-vegan plastic that covers most of your food, is in all of your clothes, your electronics, your shoes, and saturates pretty much every aspect of your life as a consumer… It’s a totally different plastic and it’s Worse and it’s all their fault.

It is entirely within our power to make 2025 a year where not one single person drowns attempting to cross the channel.

It is up to us to demand it, in these people’s names.

Stop worrying about being one of the “chill vegans.” What they are praising you for when they say you’re not one of THOSE vegans, is for agreeing not to speak up on behalf of the victims of animal agriculture. Your friends and family may thank you for this, but the animals sure as hell won’t.
