Explaining the “homeless man AI” prank | luna app Learn about the “homeless man AI” prank, why it’s harmful, and how parents can help teens understand empathy and online responsibility.

It’s been #Disinfo2025 this week. I couldn’t go but always interested in this subject especially as so much cr*p gets spread about the homeless community. Latest one being the AI homeless prank going round on Luna & Sora. The kids aren’t alright folks. This is bad sh*t weareluna.app/parents/guid...

I’m asked about climate change & homelessness every now and then due to our work on homelessness & severe weather emergency protocol.

This is the backdrop & why we list climate change, disinformation & wealth extraction as the focus of our campaigning.

The end of a long week, much to say & so many ppl have made it poss for our community to come together & mourn ppl we’ve lost.

This is one of our candles on the railings @ St Martins - a kind of MoH calling card - but for me also a reminder of what it means to take space for what is most important.

Our first community Tuesday 2 years ago, done 100 since and the museum feels very different in some ways, familiar in others. Here’s to 100 more.

Today we release the 2024 findings for the Dying Homeless Project. It’s something I work on year round with an amazing team.

Great to be quoted with this, it’s a really good piece of work by Josh Gabbatiss over at Carbon Brief! We’ll worth a look.

Always find this mind boggling, City Hall, the symbol of London’s governance being dismantled. Easy to do as it’s apparently owned by the Kuwaiti Sovereign Wealth fund and Greater London Authority was turfed out long ago…

This thread says it all. Thank you!

The EHRC has long been toothless, corrupt & hollowed out and is stoking more hate and disinformation.

It saddens me so much to see how much suffering this is causing & how much people are being hoodwinked by the horrific forces re-shaping put politics.

“They Don’t Care About Civil Rights”: Trump’s Shuttering of DHS Oversight Arm Freezes 600 Cases, Imperils Human Rights The closure of the 150-person office, which protected the civil rights of both immigrants and U.S. citizens, strips Homeland Security of its internal guardrails as the Trump administration turns DHS…

Previously, the arrests of pro-Palestinian voices on university campuses would’ve drawn instant attention from the DHS civil rights office’s First Amendment watchdogs, attorneys in the compliance branch said. That guardrail is gone.

Great book this is btw, from the Philippines, to Syria, to pre-war Ukraine it shows how long our info-sphere has been contested, compromised and in many cases severed from reality.

Been reading this recently. It stuns me to read this week that Jack Thorne got stopped by a headteacher saying “I want to know what more schools can do” after watching Adolescence.

The affects of disinfo are so far reaching (this was published in 2020!) we need whole subjects devoted to it.

@jessicaturtle.bsky.social gets us the same billing as Banksy & a London Indian restaurant. All equal in 10Foot’s epic upcoming Big Issue takeover. Thanks so much for the ft 💥💥

The Kremlin's playbook for undermining post-war Ukraine - EUvsDisinfo While peace talks may eventually silence the guns, the Kremlin disinformation apparatus is already crafting narratives to fracture post-war Ukraine.

Been interested in noting the Zelenskyy “election mandate” stuff & been hearing it alot more. I now get why. Part of coordinated Kremlin disinfo so expect to hear it from western sympathisers more. This one is a good read for people looking ahead re Ukraine Russia euvsdisinfo.eu/the-kremlins...

On Ukraine I’m guessing it’ll be the following:
1. Peace deal designed to put Ukraine in a position where it can’t ever accept
2. Ukraine then made out to be “aggressor” by US/Russia.
3. War continues - with Ukraine to blame.
4. US uses breakdown to continue to castigate Europe/NATO
