I am now seriously thinking the next GE will be a 3-way battle between parties who are very firmly in a particular camp (Green-left, Reform-right, Lib Dems-centre), rather than trying to be different things to different people while trying to maintain their “core” aspect (Labour, Tories)
I've been out canvassing quite a lot in London lately. Labour's vote has absolutely evaporated.... it is quite extraordinary to go to places where Labour were on 50-60% of the vote at the last locals and find nobody, or virtually nobody, supporting them.

The phrase 'I voted Labour last time, but...

Once again (again!) - for a “Free Market” to work - consumers need to earn money, and they cannot do that if AI and robots are doing all the jobs.
Chilling piece on employment effects of AI on early careers. Includes this line, which will probably become the norm for many firms: "Managers at Shopify must now justify hiring a human by first explaining why AI can’t do the job."

Every time I hear a politician say that an issue is “dividing” this country they always then come down on the side of the right wing view of it. Just once I’d love to hear someone say “this issue is divisive, which is why I’m making the argument that kindness and compassion is important”

It appears that I may be allergic to Essex. If I start shuffling and suffering on the next visit next year, then I'm staying away forever.

Gone down a weird rabbithole with far-right Facebook slopaganda* about celebrities cancelling things as a result of the New York election result.

*I just invented this word: AI-generated disinformation content pumped onto social media by right-wing think tanks, and "slopaganda" was right there.

hot take? a lot of liberals are simply disgusted by queerness. a lot of queer expression is found in porn and kink. they're not going to admit how much the thought of queer sex, identity, or expression bother them but they're happy to be passive fascists and do nothing while porn is attacked.
There has been a noticeable reticence in left and liberal circles to voice full-throated support for pornography, even as it's become increasingly clear what the open end goals of the censorship movement are
In a lot of ways other leftists chose this path folks. They shrugged and didn’t care when Patreon banned a ton of hypnosis and TF creators, or when YouTube started their ASMR crackdown. Now it’s coming for queer porn creators, more and more. Who will stand up?
