So why does the BBC label the academic and economist Faiza Shaheen an "activist" but refuse to do the same for the former academic, turned anti-migrant activist Matt Goodwin?

picard: tea, earl grey, hot

computer: a nice hot earl grey sounds like an excellent choice! it's aromatic, a little citrusy, and will do a lot to perk you up. it's certainly easier on your body than coffee! if you want to maximi

AI is beginning to acquire a negative default in my head, so I presume that whatever it is claimed it can do should be followed by the word 'badly'.

Now, I'm sure I've seen a similar aesthetic somewhere, but somehow kann ich einfach nicht meinen Finger drauflegen.

An ex-Intel CEOโ€™s mission to build a Christian AI: โ€˜hasten the coming of Christโ€™s returnโ€™ Patrick Gelsinger, executive chairman of Gloo, has made it his mission to advance Christian principles in Silicon Valley

At a fundamental level, we have to accept much of silicon valley has gone insane.

For the @NewStatesman's latest issue I went on a Border Force patrol with immigration minister
Mike Tapp
met Tapp again a few days later at the Home Office with his dog, Scooby,
a huge ten-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback, who is allowed in the department on weekends. I wanted to know if, behind Tapp's jokes and bombast, there was a serious politician.
"Do you like the flags?" Tapp asked me as we entered his office. There were four Union Jacks in the room: a large one next to a portrait of Queen Elizabeth Il, a smaller one on a stick on his desk and two velcroed to Scooby's harness. Tapp owns about ten Union Jacks in total - socks, ties, clips, "everything really. Lots of flags." Recently, on holiday in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, he spent ยฃ8o on a big vintage flag for his living-room wall. "It was stupid," he said. "My dad was, like, 'Why are you spending that much on a flag?''

Nobody is more surprised than me that the wildly exaggerated criticisms I make of them *as a silly joke*, for fun, turn out to have been insufficiently stupid and cartoonish

This is all horrifyingly cruel but condition 3 is staggeringly awful: โ€œif P OR dependents of P have been in receipt of social protectionโ€

So just if a *dependent* of someone with ILR gets any sort of welfare benefit whatsoever the original person can have their ILR revoked? This is insanely evil.

A reminder that fascism didnโ€™t begin with trump, democrats laid the ground work and will continue to uphold the same policies once trump is gone.

this advice holds good in the UK, the US, Canada, India; literally everywhere Iโ€™ve lived for a while, men with right wing politics are just dangerous and terrifying to date in my experience
Theyโ€™re looking for non-right wing women to control or convert and they will lie to your face re politics

Sumo stars goofing about at tourist locations seems a more fun way to celebrate England than any number of flags.

A tweet from Sky News reading 'Aston Villa fan Andrew Fox says he has received online abuse and even death threats following the decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from the match in Birmingham.' A follow up tweet says 'This is a correction of a previous post that incorrectly identified Mr Fox as Jewish'.

A page from the Henry Jackson Society website for Andrew Fox, Research Fellow, which says he joined HJS in 2014 and that 'Andrew specialises in Defence, the Middle East, and disinformation'.

Sky News is platforming a guy who says he's from a Jewish Aston Villa supporters group, but it turns out that the guy a) isn't Jewish, b) the group doesn't exist, and c) he works for the right wing Henry Jackson Society, whose website says he 'specialises in disinformation'. Well, quite.

NYT - Hamas holds hostages, while Israel holds prisoners. The racist dehumanization of Palestinians in the NYT is so deeply embedded that the paper would probably spontaneously combust if its writers and editors treated Palestinians as human beings equal to their Jewish Israeli counterparts.
