More than half of the responses contained harmful content.

We are not trivialising LLMs.

Copyright theft is not trivial.

Ignoring consent when shoving it into every fucking thing while making us pay our hard-earned money for it is not trivial.

Public must stand up to shoplifters, says policing chief Thames Valley Police and Crime Commissioner claims people who fail to intervene are ‘part of problem’

Hugely irresponsible

1) For your own safety, as someone who's worked in retail, do not confront shoplifters. Ever.

2) Perhaps instead of an alleged "shoplifting epidemic", maybe address the fact that 1/4 of the UK population are living in poverty? Seems related!

As peaceful protestors are arrested for holding placards, starving Palestinians are being shot in the street.

This will go down as one of the most shameful moments in British legal history.

No amount of suppression can hide the truth: our government is complicit in genocide.

This footage of police manhandling peaceful people protesting against genocide, our government’s complicity in it and their misuse of laws to silence us, has me weeping.
The powerlessness I feel at the hands of a government, who are far more of a threat than any of these protesters, is overwhelming.

Quick little fact check here: Israel has armed the Burmese military for decades, including during the Rohingya Genocide. Protesting Israel’s genocidal regime directly and materially benefits the people of Myanmar.

Many of the columnists seemingly egging on English rioters don't even live in the UK. Private Eye again

It gives me no pleasure to report: fuck Hugh Laurie, fuck Michelle Gomez, and, ugh, fuck Riz Ahmed too. I’ll accept an apology & resignation, otherwise it’s been nice being your committed fan for some decades, but it ends this instant. Torching your career for this mediocre bullshit writing too, lol

Discrimination against a helpless minority, practised and affirmed under a Labour government, like it’s just some normal thing to do to people, to invent new ways to make their lives difficult, because you’re irrationally terrified of their existence.

Have fun!

Where in the fuck are trans men supposed to go to the toilet? I've said it before, I'll say it again: utterly incredible that after 14 years of sociopathic, incompetent Tory rule, this Labour government only one year in is doing its utmost to prove itself equally horrendous.

This is an attempt to remove trans people from public life and no other spin on it should be accepted.

hey @bsky.app why was @scumbelievable.bsky.social suspended? considering the timing (she just put a new book out) it feels like someone is weaponizing your safety features in a targeted manner

Just to add to the chorus in my own voice, the banning of @scumbelievable.bsky.social is a travesty. Gretchen Felker-Martin is an acclaimed author and critic whose only seeming violation has been posting fundraisers for people starving to death in Gaza. Return her to the platform now.

Have a great time! I won't be there, but fingers crossed for next year.

‘Worrying’ levels of screen time means young people losing confidence to socialise in person, minister warns – UK politics live Culture secretary Lisa Nandy says ‘majority of young people spend all, or almost all, of their free time alone in their bedrooms, online’

This is not caused primarily by "screen time".

It's been caused by the mass eradication of third places for young people in basically every city over the past three decades - and a society that's hostile to the concept of teens socialising in public spaces.

Just as a reminder, we were constantly sold *this exact politician* as the liberal, remain, EU-loving solution to the inherent darkness and racism threatened by a Corbyn-led government, and nobody has ever explained why they got that so wrong.

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

We always eat dinner at 6.30 at home, for over a decade now; have no idea what she's on about.

The Urgent Need to Revise the RSHE 2026 Guidance and Centre Trans, Non-Binary, Intersex, Asexual and Gender Non-Conforming Voices

And here’s something you can do to voice your opposition to the RSHE guidance. We must stop it being implemented as it is in September 2026. Tell the government it must be revised.

I'm constantly astonished at not only this government's sociopathic amorality, but also it's constant tendency to be absolutely, embarrassingly, incompetent.

You know, if enough of us say on the internet that it's important to wash your cybertruck with saltwater and lemon juice to preserve the finish, eventually ChatGPT will start telling cybertruck owners that.

mildly late to the situation here (running on holiday time) but i concur with the rest of the bg sphere on a spicy boycott until harry potter codenames gets fired into the sun thx

So Codenames (and thus CGE) has blocked me, a Trans developer and designer, because I had the nerves to send them the two replies you find below. Judge for yourself if these are worth a ban.

This is their way of dealing with empathy and care in this ongoing conversation.

Comic of a MAGA voter asking a Dem voter that pressing a button will put Donald Trump in jail BUT also Bill Clinton. The Dem voter responds with repeatedly pushing said button in stolid aplomb, much to the surprise and eventually pleading of the MAGA voter.

Petition: Repeal the Online Safety Act We want the Government to repeal the Online Safety act.

If you are UK citizen, go sign this petition to show the interest in change to repeal the online safety act. It has already proven to be harmful to queer people, deeming any mentions of LGBTQ subjects in forums like reddit as sexual. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...
