Dear AI bros, it's not AI itself we have a problem with, the kind that can detect cancers early or help people walk. May that continue. It's the content generation slop you foam at the mouth defending that we hate. It's theft and will never, EVER replace actual human creativity.

This is an almost shockingly wise essay. I'm glad I've finally read it.
There Is No Mary Problem in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’
George’s vision of his wife without him is essential to the film, but critics continue to miss its true—and profound—meaning.

Letter to the FT that stingingly sums up Brexit and the shit creek we now find ourselves in.
A terrible idea (naive, prejudiced and uninformed) that has deeply divided us and left us poorer and less secure… but unwilling to face up to the damage we’ve done to ourselves. While the EU moves on.

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Trump has sued over jokes, tweets, interviews, and news articles but not once over any of the countless accusations of child rape. — That silence says everything.

I'd like to ask these people why "mass migration" is an "existential European security concern".
(The answer is "We're very, very racist", but they should be made to say it publicly)

Last year, Sean Ono Lennon won an Oscar for an anti-war short inspired by John & Yoko's music, about two soldiers playing chess on opposite sides of a battle. It’s a very moving film, and beautifully animated. Watch it on YouTube! youtu.be/W68-XaFepOg

There's one Christmas song that stands out as a plea for peace, as relevant this year during the genocide in Gaza as it was during the Vietnam War — Happy Xmas (War Is Over) by John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

This is the big disconnect.
Legally and factually, twitter is deemed to be a focal point for disinformation.
Yet, mainstream media continues to use posts made on the platform as evidence and/or context for news reports and articles.
Anyone that remains there is part of the problem.

Do both.
And if solar parks are built near villages or towns, then offer the people who are potentially affected free electricity to offset their concerns.
Solar panels are not nuclear power stations. They can be removed with little environmental impact and can actually benefit biodiversity.

The solution is right above us. Solar panels on existing buildings, car parks, and along highways generate clean power without sacrificing farmland or wild spaces. Let's use our built world first. #Renewables #Innovation

Yes. The fascist politicians and billionaires who are currently ruining the country are massively mediocre thinkers and monumentally uncreative chumps. They have the advantage of a total lack of morals and a willingness to commit any crime imaginable. But they're losers and they will lose.
they are not brilliant.
the billionaires and institutions in this country are just more craven than we could have ever imagined, even in our most cynical imaginings.
(don't tell me you could imagine. I won't give you a medal.)
