Why Does So Much New Technology Feel Inspired by Dystopian Sci-Fi Movies?

Sci-Fi like Star Trek provided a positive future to aspire to, and I always hoped for more such positive visions to inspire us. Never expected the tech bro culture to be stupid enough to actually want to emulate dark and dystopian visions. Yet, here we are.

Beyond concerning,
The European Commission is reportedly considering delaying parts of its landmark AI Act following heavy lobbying from U.S. tech giants and pressure from Washington.

And this is exactly why AI cant be trusted. When billionaires control the algorithms its all about disinformation and manipulation, not the truth.

Nathan Gill’s treachery puts him in same league as the “Cambridge Five” Reform’s Russia connections may endanger our security – time for a public inquiry

Previously on Bylines Scotland.

“Nathan Gill acted not in the interests of the people who had voted for him, or in those of the British and European taxpayers he was paid to represent, but in the interests of Russia.”

A magnificent piece of work. Comprehesive, revelatory & shocking. Journalism this good is always rare & precious but never moreso than at times like this. Latter day Lord Haw Haws being plumped, preened & delivered to your doorstep in plain sight by a Nazi-saluting goon

Reform stealing from the poor again. Public sector pensions already hit by Tories, this will mean only the wealthy will be protected in old age, they hide their earnings in off shore accounts, and are wealthy enough to fund their pensions. The rest of us left with nothing

Reform in Leicestershire to hand consultants £1.3m of pubic money to tell it what to do Leicestershire County Council is run by a minority Reform UK administration. And like Reform up and down the country, it took power with no ...

Michael Mullaney, the leader of the Liberal Democrat group on the council, said:

"£1.4m is a lot of money to spend on consultants to cut costs. The reality is the council has been cutting its spending for years and if there were more savings to be found, they would have been identified."

The Magic Money Tree: How Brexit Unlocked Britain’s Corporate Welfare Bonanza Rachel Reeves’ budget rhetoric hides the biggest corporate giveaway in modern British history

The ECHR is 75 today. Like many elderly people, it is in danger of being taken for granted, and not being listened to anymore. So, happy birthday ECHR, please step forward into the spotlight and explain your history to us younger people here.

A Kent parish council informs constituents ta that it may be prevented from putting up Christmas lights by the flags currently adorning all the lampposts.

You’d need a heart of gammon not to laugh…

Nigel Farage Says Minimum Wage Should Be Cut for Young People The Reform leader said cutting the minimum wage for young people would boost business, as he attacked plans to raise taxes on the wealthy

Nigel Farage, who has so far registered a total of £280,500 for four hours a month as a "brand ambassador" for a company selling gold bars, thinks a £10 an hour minimum wage for young people is too high bylinetimes.com/2025/11/03/n...

I hope the BBC will challenge Nigel Farage today over the economic damage caused by the Brexit he championed.

He needs to be held to account for the damage he's done instead of always being given an easy ride.

Several innocent people were stabbed by unknown attackers on a moving train in Cambridgeshire, UK Police arrested two suspects at the scene. The sad reality is, Britain is now less safe than many places people call "dangerous." Today, London feels more like Kabul than Uk

Musk's Grok was asked to verify if a tweet featuring a graphic image of the attack on the LNER train was real.

I'm not sharing the whole image but here is part of it and the text.

Reform UK, the Russian spy and rolls of Kremlin cash: the inside story of Nathan Gill How did a former Mormon bishop end up pleading guilty to taking bribes to make statements in favour of Russia in the European parliament?

I knew Gill and Farage and the rest of the UKIP crew in the European Parliament

They were crooks and shysters to a man

They repeated Putin talking points and appeared on Russia Today

UKIP then and Reform now are both a threat to our democracy

YouTube video by Molly MEP "SHE DOESN'T HAVE A DEGREE IN ECONOMICS"-Molly Scott Cato MEP's response to Brexit Party

Reminded me of this from 2019

Green MEP Molly Scott Cato : "The Brexit deal will be bad for the British economy"

BXP MEP Robert Rowland : "You don't have any qualifications in economics"

Molly Scott Cato : "I am a Professor of Economics"

Mairead McGuinness : “I think Mr Rowland stands corrected”

An article byThe National published on Oct 29, 2025, compared figures from a poll on Prince Andrew's favourability at 13% versus the Labour government's approval rating at 12%.

If we leave the ECHR almost all your Rights are contained in just one law the Human Rights Act 1998.

It can and will be revoked in a single vote (and it has to be because it is a copy and paste of the ECHR).

Once that is done you will have almost no Rights.

UK voters back reciprocal UK-EU Freedom of Movement by 3-to-1.

It's ridiculous that Freedom of Movement still discussed as a barrier to the UK rejoining the Single Market or EU.

Its a benefit of Single Market membership!
