Home - Human Authored In a world of generative AI, recognising human creativity is vital This is why we’re developing a Human Authored mark to enable all types of writers and literary translators to label their work as Hum...

Woops, the @societyofauthors.bsky.social have a new scheme to put 'Human Authored' into new books and Tracey Chevalier (author of Girl With A Pearl Earring) goes on the BBC Today Programme to promote it... and promptly admits that she uses genAI for historical research.

Our country doesn't know what far-left is. Our Democratic party is far-right in comparison to just about every country in Europe.

A reminder that when Christian Zionists and Christian Nationalists in the West talk about Christians, they are not talking about the Christians of the same holy land that Jesus himself came from. They don't give a shit about us.

"Under the superannuation tax changes, the concessional tax rate on earnings for balances between $3m and $10m will double from 15% to 30%.
Balances above $10m will be subject to a new, higher 40% rate."

Imagine if we'd insulated Britain, built all those windfarms and nuclear power plants we needed.

We'd probably be shrugging at Trump's mad paedo wars right now, like "Meh that's fucking weird m8, ANYWAY..."

Thames Water, Northumbrian Water, Southern Water, South West Water and Wessex Water gutted by PE.

All have criminal convictions, dump sewage in rivers, profiteer. 90% of England's water is foreign owned.

Expect more looting.

When profit kills: How private equity is eroding health care Peer-reviewed studies link private equity takeovers to more deaths and medical complications in nearly every corner of healthcare.

Curse of Private Equity

US evidence shows:
When private equity incentives collide with clinical care, patientsβ€”especially those who are sicker, poorer, or harder to treatβ€”are more likely to be killed or harmed.

Yet UK handing more of the NHS to PE, enabling it to make profits.

Nigel Farage takes significant stake in Kwasi Kwarteng’s Bitcoin company Farage’s investment in crypto company Stack, headed by executive chairman Kwasi Kwarteng, comes after Labour asked the Electoral Commission to investigate crypto donations to Reform UK

So, as people stuggle with their mortgages and bills, Farage invests Β£215,000 in Kwasi Kwarteng’s crypto business.

And plans to deregulate that high-risk industry by removing our rights and consumer protections.
He’s laughing at voters. All the way to the bank.

Reporter: You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school on the first day of the war. But you're the only person in your government saying this. Why?

Trump: Because I just don't know enough about it.

Political parties must leave the Norwegian Nobel Peace Prize Committee.

The demand is growing in the Norwegian media debate, after the #Epstein files revealed that several Nobel members are unfit for the task.

TPUSA is teaming up with Google and NextEra in both municipal and statewide races in Arizona, in part to control the future of a gigantic, publicly owned water and power utility, the Salt River Project.

Note the coalition here. Masks are coming off at the utility and energy intersection.

1) People think β€œfree speech” means nobody can stop you from talking. But the modern RW trick is different. Make speaking up so expensive and scary that people stop on their own.

After years of delays and blocks by Speaker Johnson, the January 6 plaque honoring officers who defended the Capitol is finally installed.

4 a.m.. No ceremony. Just workers bolting it to the wall while DC slept.

Apparently the only safe way to acknowledge J6 in Trump’s Washington is in the dark.

I wonder if a drone has hit Dubai Marina. Or whether it was just

If only loads of Dubai based accounts, including Isabel Oakeshott's, could tell me.
