Meet the AI vegans | Arwa Mahdawi They are choosing to abstain from using artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons. Maybe they have a point, writes Guardian columnist Arwa Mahdawi

Olga Girina, head of the Kamchatka Volcanic Eruption Response Team (KVERT), said that the volcano’s last “lava effusion” happened around 1463, with no eruptions since.

People laughed at the time, but I for one am grateful the Eastern Orthodox Church founded the Kamchatka Volcanic Eruption Response Team 562 years ago and placed Olga into cryo-sleep, only to be woken when the time came.

Israeli military says airdrops of aid into Gaza set to begin tonight amid increased starvation deaths For months, the U.N. and experts have warned that Palestinians in Gaza are at risk of famine, with reports of increasing numbers of people dying from causes related to malnutrition.

"Airdrops will not reverse the deepening starvation," UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini wrote on X on Saturday. "They are expensive, inefficient & can even kill starving civilians. It is a distraction & screensmoke."

Would they intercept a Gaza-bound aid ship if it was called the HMS Queen Elizabeth? Asking for a country.

Israel allows foreign countries to parachute aid into Gaza Israel has said foreign countries can drop aid into Gaza from today.

If you can allow aid in by air (the most idiotic and ineffective of delivery methods), you can allow it in by land and sea. Until that happens, a lot of people will be starving, if not killed by an airdrop itself.

Reuters headline: "Trump to Brasil: 'Leave Bolsonaro alone" Picture of Bolsonaro in profile on a black background.

Probably a good sign you should not leave Bolsonaro alone.

To achieve such things at 33 is impressive. That age has to be one of the stupidest ages to be, followed closely by 31. Like, what book or movie character is ever 33? 32, sure. 35, makes sense. Nobody is 33.

...the more I think about this - now I don't want to accidentally commit treason but, if anyone did happen to have means to suggest this to the IRGC?.. If WW3 is on the line, could be worth a shot.

The people crying that we must bring democracy to Iran are the same ghouls working overtime to destroy it in their own countries.

If I was the Grand Ayatollah I'd gift Trump a golden F-14 Tomcat.

Tobin tax but for generative AI prompts.

Our latest report: 900,000 UK companies haven't a single UK director.

That's currently lawful - but our analysis shows they're *17 times* more likely to show signs of fraud than companies with a UK director.

It's a serious problem. But there's a simple fix. 🧵:

Portswood Bus Gate: Cars return as trial is suspended

Coventry City Council rakes in around £2m in bus gate fines

Virgin Southampton vs chad Coventry.

If I'm not mistaken, this equates to about 90p/litre. Trump needs to further and faster in his degrowth war on cars green agenda.

Tariffs Won't Help US Workers. A Job Guarantee Would. | Common Dreams As we confront what some are expecting to be the third once-in-a-generation economic downturn in less than two decades, we need to be ready with real solutions.

Odds on Trump celebrating a Liberal defeat in Australia today?

It's hard for people to identify an obvious problem when they're the problem. Soon they'll run out of other people to blame.

Cornwall Council election results showing no clear viable majority coalition.

Cornwall coming in with a very Israeli-snap-election ass result.

100% agree. Though on some of their biggest mistakes so far, they'd have been served much better by just doing the popular thing. It's like they strategically sought out all the areas where the public is already on their side and then very loudly did the opposite of that.

You’re telling me that right wing voters that Labour was trying to appeal to voted for a right wing party anyway and left wing voters decided not to vote for Labour because they’re too right wing now? Who could have possibly predicted this.

"If the US was a household".

Is it though?

That 9% of MAGA believe the economy is getting worse but that that's a good thing.

While the far-right divides us up and turns people against each other, the Lib Dems unite us against the true enemy of the people.

We're gonna need a Red Tractor but for tanks.

Love a good loophole.

Reform UK would ‘get the auditors in’ to councils over DEI and ergonomic chairs Party leader Nigel Farage said ‘we’ve got to see the long-term contracts that many of these county or unitary authorities have signed up to’.

"...we will look at the half-a-million quid being spent on ergonomic chairs at Lancashire County Council."

This Council employs over 32k. Sure, they're not all office jobs but If this is his best example of a solution, you know Reform are full of total shit.
