Just listened to 'Outlines' on Bandcamp. I like it.

same applies to every other issue the Labour party failed to make a position beyond "we'll do the same as the Tories only better"

you can't make Brexit work, you can't make the Rwanda scheme work. just because you are scared shitless of losing the racist vote, it doesn't mean you going to get ours

AI evangelists are tedious.AI critics often attack the wrong target.AI's not good or evil. Artists will adapt. Some will use it creatively. Artists must get paid for AI training.

Being anti-work and rejecting the need to 'earn a living'- is OK. Lots wrong with not doing your share of chores (according to your ability). Instead: 1.Stop your labour that generates money for others. 2.Do necessary for survival & to benefit your community. 3.Increase leisure time for 'just being'

I have no problem with rich people buying land and genuinely giving it to others to live collectively - people should be allowed to redeem their accidents of birth (see Tony Benn, 2nd Viscount Stansgate). But some privileged hippy purchasers retained their ownership and practiced social engineering

Welcome to the UK. There are lots of nice allies here. Sorry that we are currently TERF island. We hate that, too. Thanks for masking (we're also crap about clean air)
