Sure, but this stuff really is just a rung or two up the ladder from e.g. “this drivel we made up shows domestic traitors and the ethnics are conspiring to undermine and destroy Britain”, and all the lads have been just fine with that one for decades and longer.

If you’re doing a ‘double tap’ strike on a hospital, you’re a war criminal and a terrorist.
#GAZA: Multiple journalists killed by Israeli strikes on Nasser Hospital, including a freelance journalist who worked for @apnews.com.
At least 8 people were killed in a double-tap strike on the 4th floor, Gaza's Health Ministry said, the second attack came as rescue crews arrived.

THIS VILE little scumbag resigned as a Labour MP rather than face action over sexual harassment allegations, got sacked from his non-job as a government advisor, and is a paid lobbyist for arms & fossil fuel companies. Why does the fucking BBC not cut ties with him

I definitely feel there’s Something Up here in terms of what’s going on behind closed doors in govt. it seems like all sorts of previous givens — copyright law, data privacy, security — can just be handwaved if LLM products are involved
find it mystifying that these completely unproven tools are being used for critical tasks by hitherto quite conservative organisations

Anyone who belongs to any minority group needs to be aware that what is being done to trans people can and will be done to them. In a decade we have been stripped of our rights to exist in public spaces by a press campaign and a well funded lobby.

the thought I keep returning to is that, regardless of your thoughts on trans rights, it is surely egregious to overturn long-established freedoms without any recourse to parliament
🚨 BREAKING | Labour is set to impose a sweeping ban on trans people using any "single-sex space".
In EHRC guidance that Labour is set to approve, trans people will be barred from accessing toilets, gyms and changing rooms that match their gender.
