Leavitt: “These are heinous monsters.”

Reality: Half had no charges, “ICE’s own records say only 3% had been sentenced for a violent crime”

Greta Thunberg has just been arrested for opposing genocide outside Aspen Insurance, which underwrites Israeli weapons firm Elbit Systems.

Meanwhile, Keir Starmer — complicit in the genocide of the Palestinian people — walks free.

He should be arrested and sent to The Hague.

Michael Hudson, explains how countries like Haiti who got their political independence, never really gained true independence due to the Financial System, Privatization and the desire for their resources.

The UK government needs to release the hunger strikers immediately. Imprisoning them without trial like this, for the “crime” of trying to stop a genocide, is obscene and it must be reversed.

Republicans and Democrats hobnobbing together on Epstein’s island, while destroying the lives of working-class people, tells you everything you need to know about the US ruling class. Rotten to the core. The whole edifice needs to be brought down.

I'll never forget how the British ruling class tried to convince us that having blue passports would make Britain better, rather than, you know, good public services and affordable housing.

Wildly different things, tasks, techniques, subspecialties being lumped into "AI" and then being conflated with each other, doesn't help. Different types of models vs the techniques to train them vs the tasks they are supposed to accomplish, all under "AI".

This widespread ”AI” conflation has set back the push for sound digital policy by over a decade.
In our book about the shift to a digitized society, @ntusikov.bsky.social and I deliberately chose to avoid the term as much as possible precisely because it sows such confusion.
