Campbell was the inspiration for Aragorn, if I recall.

But upon arriving at customs at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport on Thursday with his wife, he says border agents took their passports and led them to an interview room. He said border agents told him they needed to determine whether he and his wife were a national security threat to Canada. “That never happened to me in my long life,” said Falk. Thursday also happened to be his 95th birthday, he said.

The government of Canada needs to directly address why a 95 year old human rights expert and former UN Special Rapporteur was treated as a threat to national security for coming to speak about Israeli genocide.

When the government accuses asylum seekers of being given "golden tickets" and "tearing the country apart" and the media cheers them on, you know the mainstream elite has accepted fascism as a valid alternative to the radical change needed to address the many crises this country is facing

Alice Wong was a client of ours, and a long time twitter mutual and friend of our founder. There’s a sense in which we might not be here doing what we do were it not for the disability community Alice helped cultivate on twitter. We’re proud to have supported her work, and have had her support ours.

Very, and just waiting for crashes.

That somehow someone at the UN is able to make and post and AI generated video including a false testimony from a rape and war without anyone realizing how wrong that is until The Guardian approached for comment. just shows how acritically people are adopting AI as a tool. It's devastating.

Only way to exorcise it, tbh.

Wait, in addition *to* the Steam launcher?

My own parents came to the UK in the 70s, "lawfully", Shabana. The difference is that I want every single refugee, immigrant to be treated humanely, & part of the fabric of Britain, instead of being demonised & made to feel unwanted. Oh, & pulling the “I am the child of migrants myself" card? 🖕🏼

The Home Office has to be demolished, dismantled brick by brick.

Any discussion of the radicalising effects of social media that doesn't acknowledge that the governing party of the UK is systematically abandoning tens of thousands of desperate, regular people to try and impress a bunch of bedroom-dwelling cretins on Twitter is beneath you and not worth your time.

At least Reform and the Conservatives don't try and pretend that attacking some of the most vulnerable and marginalised groups in society is "progressive", yet Labour does. The hypocrisy of Labour and those defending its policies is rage inducing and deserving of nothing but contempt. 3/

Then again, we see same thing with Labour cultists, and at this stage I think it is fair to use that word, defending Labour's anti-trans and non-binary policies, their attack on the disabled and more, all while claiming it is to stop Reform. What's the point of stopping Reform by becoming it? 2/

Watching a number of Labour supporters defend Mahmood and this government over their sickening anti-immigration/asylum rhetoric when they would have been hollering against it if it was the Tories or Reform saying it. It doesn't matter which party it is doing this, it should be condemned. 1/

At some point, for the love of God, will someone ANYONE at long last take the council funding crisis seriously?!?

Because THIS is what will break down a society, not some poor soul escaping incredible dangers, arriving on our shores.

Whenever I read about the Franocist atrocities, and the ongoing discoveries, I think about how Salvador Dali reportedly sent a letter to Franco, congratulating him on "cleaning up" Spain, and it makes me ill.

To explain briefly: at the moment people successful in their asylum claims get permission to stay in the UK for 5 years, then have to apply for permanent residency. At that point a review of their status is done, but it’s rare not to succeed at that point unless they‘ve committed an offence 1/

this is a very important part of her legacy, her support for Palestine. one of the things i will always remember is that one of Dr. Refaat Alareer’s last liked posts on Twitter before it turned into x and removed like history is a photo of Alice.

As someone whose parents also came over from Pakistan in the 70s, and who was born just before automatic birthright was stopped, I loathe her so, so much.

Thanks to my nephew brainstorming after my constant inability to pronounce a word, I am now trying to picture a game where raw fish are on a mission for vengeance - Ghost of Sashimi.

"Also, don't trust these guys who say there's an alternative to face and nut punching - it's just not feasible!"

Clearly innocent, Scott.

I’m heartbroken to hear our warrior Alice Wong @sfdirewolf.bsky.social has passed. She was so important to me & welcoming of me. This is the great loss of a true fighter. May she rise to power as an ancestor, may we never forget her lessons & continue her work for disability justice.

Von der Leyen caught in AI hype trap while Tech bros cash in Ursula von der Leyen and the EU Commission are fueling the AI hype, claiming AI could reach human-level reasoning next year. When asked for evidence, they cited tech CEOs’ essays, prompting scientists...

Excellent @euobserver.com oped from @krisshrishak.bsky.social on how EC leadership is running high on AI fumes and immolating public money.

"Yeah, but it's about *Trump*, so it's *okay*, what are you, a Putin supporter, we're doing resistance work" - the usual response to that, I think.

Cuarón said that the political/social landscape of his adaptation of Children of Men, esp. re refugees & migrants, was shaped by looking at the UK (under Labour) at the time (2004-6), and just extrapolating from there. The ongoing cruelty of Mahmood (below) & the rest of Labour brings that to mind.
