Itβs jarring watching celebrities push the βart is apoliticalβ at the Berlin Film Festival.
America fought fascism in Germany during WWII, and now that itβs on their own soil no one has the courage to speak up.
Itβs embarrassing.
Art will never be apolitical.

The group that helped to get Sir Keir Starmer elected as Labour leader hired lobbyists to investigate the personal, political and religious background of a Sunday Times journalist behind an article about secret donations that funded its work.
Big mistake here: theyβve foolishly tried their shenanigans on real people who actually matter

Good news today. The UK government proscription of Palestine Action has been deemed unlawful by the High Court. That should end the brutal persecution and prosecution of Palestine supporters, of course. It should also lead to grave consequences for Keir Starmer and his terror cabinet.

I understand you need to create a framework in which you can blame someone for the horrors of the genocide in Gaza, but perhaps that should be *all* of the people in power instead of (the apparently so unimportant) people who said "I cannot in good conscience vote for this."

As for humans, Persona hopes to build identity profiles for each person using the hundreds of activities they do online over time, like ordering food or scrolling social media, so Persona can more quickly verify theyβre human. Song said these profiles would be tamper resistant and reusable so that they can be submitted on any site during the verification process, which he thinks people will want to use despite the obvious privacy tradeoffs.
βToday you're disclosing more and more about yourself. You're just giving up so much information,β Song said. βOur dream is this idea of a self-sovereign, personally-owned portable identity.β

This is who you are sending your data to when you use age verification with Discord or VRChat.
Because they arenβt using it for age, they legitimately want to track you everywhere, everyday and learn what you are doing.

Together with several friends, I've written an open letter expressing "outrage and contempt" for the accusation.
