If the government think I’m
deleting even one of the ten million identical photos I have of my dog then they are sorely mistaken.

The Great British fear factory: manufacturing a lawless London Reform UK’s “Britain is Lawless” campaign isn’t about making us safer – it’s about manufacturing fear for political gain

Reform UK’s “Britain is Lawless” campaign isn’t about making you safer.

It’s about making you scared – and blaming migrants while they’re at it.

The Bear explains how the Great British Fear Factory works.

Quote this with a book you read way too young that explains why you are the way you are.

Just made the error of catching the end of Newsnight, and am now regrettably aware of the existence of Telegraph journalist Poppy Coburn, a zoomer Isabel Oakeshott. Vile.

I was having this exact conversation with someone today. I concluded the only way to make real money without having an actual job is if I became a YouTuber. But then realised I didn’t really know what a YouTuber was. So left it at that.

This seemed like a good use of a tenner during unsettling times. Chuck in what you can to hold Reform to account.

Can't fault the clarity of Labour's message on protest. There are BAD protesters who must be punished (Irish musicians, anti-genocide vicars) and there are GOOD protesters whose views deserve respect (masked thugs with petrol bombs trying to start a pogrom)

Well I certainly feel a lot safer now that all those horrible pacifist terrorists are off the streets of London.

I always enjoy reading the TripAdvisor London Forum because I'm fascinated to see what foreign tourists expect, what they ask about and what surprises them. I thought this post from someone from Texas was a really lovely and cheering comment about riding the tube late at night

Revealed: How foreign billionaires pump millions into British politics The Elon Musk-shaped hole in Starmer’s Election Bill

Foreign billionaires circumvent laws and pump millions into British politics.

Unincorporated associations, shell companies, companies controlled from abroad used.

The aim: produce govts subservient to corporations and the rich.

End corruption. Give democracy a chance. Ban all political donations.

DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online. 
The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOrigin’s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery. 
While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material.

I just accidentally stabbed myself quite badly in the thigh with a kitchen knife as I used it to tighten the teeny tiny screws in my glasses. How’s your Sunday going?
