‘Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end. With tourism to the US under increasing strain, she says, ‘If it can happen to me, i...

A number of months ago, many Americans online—myself included—began telling foreign nationals to stop coming to the United States (for now) for their own safety. The events described below are exactly why.

Stay away from America, friends. Don't come here.

Accenture has begun monitoring staff use of its Al tools as part of how it decides top-level promotions, as consultancies push reluctant employees to adopt the technology. The Dublin-headquartered firm told associate directors and senior managers that promotion to leadership positions would require "regular adoption" of AI, according to people familiar with the matter and an internal email seen by the FT. This month Accenture started to collect data on individual weekly log-ins to its AI tools for some senior employees. "Use of our key tools will be a visible input to talent discussions" during this summer's leadership-level promotion decisions, the email said. The New York-listed group says it has more than 550,000 people trained in generative AL.

If you want to keep your bullshit job you will be required to mind-meld with the bullshit machine.

Honestly this is just embarrassing. Like, you weren’t on the team, you didn’t win the medal, why are you pretending? Who are you fooling?

This is as cringe as your landlord crashing your party

This is a huge deal, and the number of people I see pooh-poohing this as just a loss to a supposedly elite group sucks. A) most of the jobs that disappeared were the working-class ones; B) bye bye not just to local coverage but to arts, sports, everything that’s not tech/biz/politics/opinion/advice

Trump says he’s sending a hospital boat to Greenland | CNN Politics President Donald Trump said Saturday that he is sending a hospital boat to Greenland, the Arctic island and Danish territory he has sought to acquire.

I wonder how uninsured Americans feel about the US sending a hospital ship to a country with free healthcare and 5 hospitals. 5 hospitals may not sound like much, but their entire population is 56,740.

Old fashioned working class kitchen

How Labour MPs think a working class person's front room should look:

Previous generations of rich people knew that it was important for them to shut the fuck up and build libraries and parks and hospitals since that was the only way we would tolerate them in society. This generation of rich people have forgotten why this was necessary. We should remind them.

Every single element of life is either more deadly, more expensive or more inconvenient (often all three) today than it’s been in decades & it’s purely because our robber baron overlords decided to dedicate the entirety of the US apparatus to doing barbaric & culturally suicidal white nationalism

ask your doctor if lying down in the forest to be consumed by the earth is right for you

I keep hearing that the Epstein files are so big if we held everyone accountable everything would collapse. And no it wouldn’t. These rich guys don’t do any actual work. They aren’t actually important or useful they are just rich.

Nevada brothel workers are unionizing to protect their digital rights Management's new contract demands “everything”—and could hand their likenesses over to AI porn and sex bots.

“Their motivation is to get a hold of our videos and the ability to create AI likenesses.”

The Musk family are actively endorsing Restore Britain, a party the racist Reform UK considers excessively racist, whose slogan is “millions must go” and whose leaders call for the expulsion of Britons of darker skin or Jewish, Muslim or otherwise non-Christian faith

Wait. So he just gonna say it like that? He wasn’t even cryptic. He flat out said what we all knew

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.

I'm an Indian woman - Suella Braverman is a risk to us both As ever with Reform, it is all problems and no solutions.

"I’m an Indian woman – Suella Braverman is a risk to us both"

This woman wants to get rid of the very thing that could shield her from any kind of discrimination she could face – because if she experiences any racism, or sexism, it is the Equality Act that protects her.

One of the most surreal answers I've ever been given.

Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it Workers should learn AI skills and companies should use it because it's a "cognitive amplifier," claims Satya Nadella.

Lots of them are panicking that AI uptake isn't fast enough and they might run out of momentum to do the sweep they are attempting to do on society.

This isn't about AI, it's about the window in which they have permission to remould society.
