The latest spate of attacks on Indian people is simply the outworking of a renormalisation of racism within our public discourse.

Exclusive: Google is indexing ChatGPT conversations, potentially exposing sensitive user data Thousands of shared ChatGPT chats are now appearing in Google search results.

Well this is bad. Google is indexing ChatGPT conversations exposing sensitive user data

I tried a few quick searches. I found someone's chat where I can see their api key

I found some building their resume. Their name, email and phone numbers are exposed.

Chris Heinhold: Would a reduced Vat rate have saved my restaurant? Probably not For us, like many small businesses that are owner-operated and facing spiralling costs and unsustainable debt, no one solution could have saved us from closure

This problem seems to be becoming more widespread. Take the time to check official emails, and ask for the 'recruiter' who pings you on here, social media, or through email to use an official email and CHECK it.

Never hand over bank details or pay for a job application.

Every year since 2014, I've been doing a 'Walk on the Wildside' in my place as part of the Eyeries Family Festival, and this year's event is happening on Saturday.

Places are limited, and it always books out fairly fast, so you need to be quick off the mark!

Someone needs to start a literary prize for short story collections. It seems really odd to me that we don’t have one in Ireland or the UK. Before everyone shouts about the Edgehill Prize, it doesn’t seem to be happening this year.

‘Worse than anything under the Tories’: changes to welfare bill anger disability campaigners Government concessions fail to appease disabled people’s groups, concerned that disabled people in the future will be condemned to poverty

Disabled people’s orgs have told the Guardian that plans to exempt only existing claimants from the cuts will create a “two-tier” benefit system that “condemns” future disabled people to poverty. As one said, “Is it even legal?”

My story on the fallout: www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

This is still rotten policy. "Only cut benefits for new claimants", as if (near)future immiseration is ok

Late to the party as ever, but do you know what’s very good? Mr Corman. Cancelled after 1 season, nobody knows anything, OTOH, don’t put me in charge of acquisitions at your streaming conglomerate. www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

Culture is art, and a social connection, and awkward people speaking truth to power, and it’s soft power, and an industry. We need to value all its facets, because we’d miss it if it disappeared.
