The Great AI Bubble Yes, it's a bubble. And yes, it's going to burst.

NEW: Welcome to the Great AI Bubble. Yes, it’s here. And yes, it’s going to burst.

It’s also got way more in common with the Epstein scandal than you really want to know.

Seeing countless vibrant, joyful trans people posting selfies and progress pics for Trans Visibility Week is deeply affirming.

Trans people have always existed. They will always exist. Having the bravery to be yourself in public is a revolutionary act.

Screenshot of BlueSky post: “Current mood: exasperation! The NHS trust that supplies my healthcare has signed me up on MyChart, an online file of my medical records, appointments, etc. Was asked to write what gender I was assigned at birth and what my pronouns are! Genders hadn't been invented when I was born. Ridiculous!”

Being on BlueSky and not Twitter, I sometimes forget just how ridiculous anti-trans activists are, and then I see one post something like “genders hadn’t been invented when I was born”, and all I can do is question how they got to this point in life.

😂🤣🫠 wow…

As a palliative care specialist, I’ve witnessed the human tragedy of our end-of-life care crisis | Rachel Clarke While the government debates assisted dying, palliative care is an afterthought. And many more people face death without the care and support they need, says Rachel Clarke

"We would never tolerate a government that chose to defund 70% of neonatal services, gambling that charities would fill the gap. Yet this is exactly the situation for end-of-life care."

Please read my piece on the travesty of NHS palliative care underfunding 🙏

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"There are soiled sheets, unvoiced fears, missed doses of morphine. The hard truth, in short, about underfunding palliative care is that people who are at their most vulnerable – the dying – suffer more pain, more indignity, less choice & less autonomy than they might have." Please read this piece:

Emily Maitlis admitting she worked at the bbc to try and get healthcare for trans people shut down

It would never occur to Emily that she is at all ideological, or that she and her crank pals were imposing their views and desires upon others. What do you mean, ideology! We’re doing Science

"Zealously Pro Palestinian party"

Genocide is bad actually.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

The BBC has a long record of doctoring footage. But consequences only seem to follow when the Right are maligned.

1984: BBC reverses order of footage of Battle of Orgreave, portraying miners as aggressors. No apology.

2017: Newsnight edits interviews with Corbyn. No apology; Kuenssberg promoted.

I am naive enough to remain surprised by how many people will fall in line with an incoherent sexual predator with no morals or ethics - I fear Elon Musk is seeing it back to front - it is not too much empathy that is destroying the west, it is its scarcity

King strips Andrew of prince title in historic move to save monarchy Ex-prince served notice to surrender the lease of Royal Lodge and will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor

So removing the Dukedom didn't work.

Next goes the Prince bit and the mansion ...

Headline from the Guardian about Prince Andrew

But keeps the title Prince and will still live on the Royal Estate at Windsor.

Oh the punishment!

Pure spin from Buckingham Palace

Screenshot of the headline of a Huffington Post article with the headline: "Starmer has a chance to go big on delivering climate action - and he must not wimp out."

The Carbon Budget Delivery Plan due this week is a huge test for this govt. It's a chance not just to take real action to secure a safe future for our children & grandchildren but crucially to show that climate action will make ordinary people's lives better. Me for @huffpost.com:

‘Change course now’: humanity has missed 1.5C climate target, says UN head Exclusive: ‘Devastating consequences’ now inevitable but emissions cuts still vital, says António Guterres in sole interview before Cop30

Overshooting 1.5°C wasn't 'inevitable.'

We've been pushed by fossil fuel giants & governments that pander to them.

Every delay, every oil field, every broken promise made this crisis worse.

Keir Starmer, will you promise to leave Rosebank undeveloped?

Yeah! But they rolled over like a puppydog and accepted the Zionist definition

ICE and CBP GOONS are patrolling Chicago in unmarked civilian cars, kidnapping and disappearing people for filming.

The artist known as Zack Polanski so am astute communicator. His voice is fluffed in a lisp. Glib radicalism of the rampant egomaniac.

Are the right ok?

This is next level of "journalistic* " slop.

Please, please, please if you know anyone who even might be in Unison, encourage them to vote for Egan. This would be the biggest win for progressive forces in the UK since 2015.

To the craven "comedians" who are STILL not speaking up: The manager at the Chicago Laugh Factory was arrested by ICE. They filed no charges, he's a US citizen, and his family doesn't know where he is.

They are coming for all of us. Grow a fucking spine and say something while you still can.

Bless Canada For Making Trump's Head Explode Trump ends trade talks with Canada.

Well done, Canada! 😂
