Enjoyed a wander around the Scottish National Galleries, mostly because I know diddly squat about Scottish art.
You’ll be pleased to know that it doesn’t all look like this.

I’d like to see more companies adopt a no generative AI stance. It’s the only permissible approach to widespread theft.
Artists behind some of the most popular films of all time are also forging one of the most powerful organized resistances to AI.
With solidarity, class action lawsuits and strong legislation, they're fighting to protect their livelihoods, and pop culture, from big tech.

With solidarity, legislation, class action lawsuits, and a little help from Guillermo del Toro. Plus, the Luddite Renaissance continues, and I open the mailbag.

Shocking, but sadly not surprising.
A memorable night ruined by a racist thug.
I was invited to speak at the EuroAsia Curry Awards on Monday night, it should have been an exciting opportunity. But on my way there, outside Earl’s Court station, I was subjected to an Islamophobic hate crime. I have now reported it to the police

That’s interesting, Labour reported membership has dropped 49000 since I predicted the Greens would overtake them before the end of the year (at the current growth rates at the time).
Greens now at 150000 incidentally.

Just prepped this slide on party membership numbers for a class. Shout if you think/know I've got it wrong as plenty of time to change it. PS I suspect the Tory figure is below 100,000 now but can't prove it, of course. PPS If anyone has an official/updated figure for Plaid, I'd love to know it!

These two media organisations are all too keen to emphasise when a crime has been committed by an asylum seeker or refugee etc. Meanwhile they’re also underplaying the dangers of crime by white men - to a quite extraordinary degree as outlined in this thread.

Wow - those are quite phenomenal headlines given the details of the story.
Ahh look, he’s just a ‘nerdy’ guy. No harm done.

All eyes on Jamaica folks. It’s about to be battered by the worst hurricane in recorded history.
Reject the current political/ media discourse minimising climate change and normalising racism by helping in any way you can, even if that’s just an expression of solidarity and compassion.

Organised crime making millions from illegal waste dumping in UK, says committee
Peers say ‘woeful’ record on prosecutions has led to a ‘low-risk, high-reward’ criminal culture
Organised crime groups in the UK are making millions every year from illegally dumping and burning rubbish, peers have told ministers, after an inquiry found a lack of enforcement made it a “low-risk, high-reward” criminal enterprise.
“Criminality is endemic in the waste sector,” a Lords committee told the government on Tuesday, after it found at least 38m tonnes of waste was illegally managed every year, “leading to serious environmental, economic and social consequences”. Continue reading...
