LBC Headline: Third of children who use AI describe chatbots as 'like one of their friends', survey finds

Damn, we removed all the places kids could go to socialise, then destroyed all kid centric hang out websites and games and then we banned them from social media and we're surprised that they find friendship in a positive reinforcement robot?

This is starting to get like universal basic income where every single objective study shows the same result but the people who don't like that result go "uh, well there's just really no way to know"

Why can’t people see this ⬇️

Asylum seekers are not ‘illegal immigrants’. No matter how normalised this term has become, I will not use it, and I will always point out its ugliness.

I really do think this is an excellent metaphor for the moment.

Vice headline reads: "Zara, Nike, and Abercrombie’s Indian Factories Weren’t Fully Paying Workers" The story was reporting on something put out by the Workers Rights Consortium.

Story at Mind The Gap reads: CASE STUDY: Zara fights sanctions for forced labour in Brazilian supply chain Spanish fast fashion giant Zara, an Inditex brand, has been found to source clothes from Brazilian workshops with modern slavery conditions but fought against sanctions in court – showing how corporations seek to avoid liability by hiding behind complex supply chains.

Disappointed to learn Bad Bunny wore Zara, effectively promoting the brand to millions. Although Zara has made admirable strides to address labor conditions, fast fashion can never be ethical because it depends on rapid production and cheap prices, which results in worker exploitation.

Absolutely amazing that Starmer still thinks that Labour won the GE and not that the Tories lost.

It does however, explain his government and the ignorance it displays towards people’s lives, experiences and opinions

Necessary but not sufficient.

He knew. And still appointed him.

Starmer needs to go.

“Epstein class” is good framing

The leopard print chair where Epstein is seen FORCING his hands down the pants of a young girl and FORCING a kiss on her.

“Lord” Mandelson is in that SAME rape chair and that SAME girl is massaging his feet. Look at his disgusting.

Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...

To be colonized is to be alienated from yourself. To decolonize is not to return to some lost past, but to build a future where every person is free to define their own destiny, no longer bound by the chains of foreign-imposed ideologies.

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power.

They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

"rich dipshit owner doesn't understand the industry he's bought into and clumsily destroys what made it good" feels less like a narrative unique to the washington post and more like the music that's been playing in the background of all our lives for at least 40 years

I'm not saying ONE SPEECH is SOLELY responsible for 3 HBCUs, an anti-racist town, defeating a federal detention policy or creating one of our greatest poets

All I'm saying is:

If all this happened literally the FIRST TIME white people listened to Black people...

Maybe we should try it again

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

Mamdani Forces Delivery Apps to Pay Back $4.6 Million Cheated From Drivers New York City's new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, has already scored a major win for deliveristas working for three delivery giants.

Incredible contrast between this and Keir Starmer running a delivery driver over

"why are these rich freaks so bad at writing emails?"

because they've never had to be good enough at it to keep paying rent

This is part of the moral and political economy of AI.

Musk has been spamming crap about SpaceX and Grok all day but now every single reply to any of his posts is someone calling him a pedophile. the stage has been set for something historic

"AI is a tool of fascism" really needs to start being one of the primary talking points

If you are reading this, it probably means you are doomscrolling the authoritarian apocalypse, instead of actually doing something about it. I can't recommend action enough. Switch off social media, limit it to a small bit of time per day, and work on your organising instead.
