Previously, these belief systems tended to collapse under their own weight. Contradictions and memory gaps made them hard to sustain. Now the AI removes that friction, it produces timelines, summaries, and "forensic" explanations on demand.

The bigger change is presentation, historically, these emails were visually chaotic: sudden colour changes, ALL CAPS, screenshots pasted at random. Classic signs of disordered thinking. Now they’re neat, structured, and grammatically consistent. The delusion hasn't changed, but the formatting has.

Bellingcat’s contact email has always been a magnet for people with fairly unusual views; paranoid delusions, sprawling conspiracies, the works. But recently, the pattern has shifted, we’re seeing more and more emails clearly written with ChatGPT.

It's fucking wild that the GCs have developed such a sense of impunity that they're just actively harassing and smearing members of a tribunal panel they are supposedly trying to win over.
Terf legal nonsense - A judge has thrown out an application for a panel member to be dismissed at an employment tribunal case between the Belfast Film Festival (BFF) and former employee Sara Morrison.

I think it's entirely reasonable at this point both to shut down every AI image generation company and also to completely ban all men from unsupervised internet access

Seems to me that the security services and military should be investing in a fleet of bicycles. Best place for a top secret conversation must be on a gentle ride in the country.

Unfortunately they are doing the opposite this time and scrapping NHSE and moving it all behind closed doors away from public scrutiny at the Department of Heath instead.

Much easier to say how you really feel in your chats with Palantir if no one is watching.

What a shocking waste of opportunity this government has proved to be.
It has squandered its time and attention on ridiculous fiscal rules, persecuting refugees and trashing ecosystems in the name of growth, while failing to deliver what we so desperately want.

I am increasingly of the opinion that people who change menus and look and feel of computer software just so that you know it's a new version should be personally forced to play tech support to my mother for five months.

Lovely to see this 😍
This.

This right here is why proper cycling infrastructure is an investment in our communities and our future.

It is only the beginning. This route isn’t even fully finished.

When we stop imagining and start doing, change happens.

It is, of course, snowing heavily right now- just because the SAIS observers aren't out doesn't mean there's no hazard....

When I was in Copenhagen last week, Mikael Colville-Andersen (founder of Copenhagenize; coiner of “cycle chic”) said ruling Social Democrats were unpopular partly cos of new pro-motoring policies. Duly wiped out in elections.

Because the law is an expensive tool to use; because this means it is mostly rich people who get to use it; because rich people are usually men; the law has become a tool of the patriarchy, one which men use to impose their will on women.
In situations where the law tries to decide this for you, I hope there are people like @goodlawproject.bsky.social willing to stand up for your rights to not be property.

A High Court judge has forced a six-year-old girl to keep the surname of the man who raped her mother. We think this is an outrage and are putting together a legal team so D's mother can take her case to the European Court of Human Rights.

But we need your help. goodlawproject.org/crowdfunder/...

No survivor should face harm from the very system that is meant to protect them. No child should have to carry an abuser’s name. It’s time to change the system.
