Ah, good ol' Spiked...
A screenshot from Twitter in 2023. It shows my account as being blocked by Spiked, the so-called free speech conveyors. The caption even says: Spiked - Ban nothing. Question everything.

The Guardian live-feed of political news today is absolutely depressing. Case in point:
Labour and Tory thinktanks welcome affordable housing quotas being cut for London in bid to boost development As expected, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government has confirmed that it will allow builders to qualify for fast-track planning approval if their developments contain 20% affordable housing – rather than 35%, the current minimum. MHCLG said this was housing building in London “has faced significant challenges over recent years due to a combination of the legacy of the previous government, impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, high interest rates, spiralling construction costs, regulatory blockers and wider economic conditions”.

What better way to do some focused work than by listening to the Civ II soundtrack? 😎

Plenty to choose from, but one thing that makes the Exocolonist soundtrack stand out a bit, other than genre and the number of different artists on it, is how well it suits focused worktime.

Ain't FPTP great?
The constituency of Birmingham Hall Green and Moseley could be won on the VIs in the quoted post by Labour with a frankly tiny 18.5% share of the vote. Minor Party - 16.3% Other - 15.7% Green - 15.7% Lib Dem - 15.3% Reform UK - 12% Conservative - 6.6%

Just posting this again for no reason.
An excerpt from the Guardian website. The headline reads: Guardian Media Group announces strategic partnership with OpenAI The body text reads: Guardian Media Group today announced a strategic partnership with Open AI, a leader in artificial intelligence and deployment, that will bring the Guardian’s high quality journalism to ChatGPT’s global users. Under the partnership, Guardian reporting and archive journalism will be available as a news source within ChatGPT, alongside the publication of attributed short summaries and article extracts. In addition, the Guardian will also roll out ChatGPT Enterprise to develop new products, features and tools. This announcement comes a year after the Guardian published its approach to AI, focused on ensuring that any use of genAI is under human oversight and for the benefit of its readers, its business and its wider mission. This considered approach to AI continues as the Guardian Media Group explores agreements with both existing and emerging businesses to ensure fair compensation and attribution for its journalism.
