Horrors of Trump detention centre: Lisburn man tells his story after arrest for 'looking like a Mexican'

Lee Stinton was lifted by US immigration police on an American street — in an incident he compared to a kidnapping.

Here, he tells us his story.

🔴✊ +110,000 in Brussels drew the RED LINE for Gaza.

A genocide is taking place in Gaza fuelled by EU and corporate complicity.

No climate justice without Palestinian liberation.

palantir employees must be the most gormless bootlicking goons in the entirety of silicon valley, and all of those stupid posts about 10 guys dropping out of college to pull endless all nighters to ship some AI b2b garbage are just aspiring to be this worthless

Economic crisis, a recession looming. We all know what comes next...

Articles in the financial press asking if Marx was right

did you get to say the words?
-yes
but what did it cost you?
-everything

As the article (in thread) says, outsize SUVs cost the public purse more in terms of strain on the infrastructure & pollution, and are far more dangerous for pedestrians & cyclists. Yes, we should tax them and their usage heavily. Why on Earth should the rest of us subsidise this obnoxious trend?

god grant me the serenity to lmao
the courage to lmao
and the wisdom to lmao lmao lmao

'Expats are affected too': Non-profit workers join national strike "Many European NGO workers are non-Belgian and sometimes feel that whatever the Belgian Government does does not concern them. This is incorrect."

All is not lost. The programme for government hasn't been made law yet so we can still push them back. DM me if you want in on the fun.

It will take all of us in Belgium working together, retail and NGO workers alike. The future is ours!

We were on strike as Arizona is coming for us all, Belgian or not. In short, if you work here then join a union.

Our pensions, overtime and benefits are all under threat. Nevermind it being Belgium's most right-wing, pro-Israel and anti-climate government in history.

First we wrangled enough workers from our Mundo in Matonge, then we swung past Troon on the way to Madou for the first major NGO action in years.

After that, we joined striking retail workers at their picket lines in Brussels city centre and showed them our solidarity as loud as we could manage.

Huge day on strike with the #FairCSOs crowd yesterday!

Climate orgs, unions and many more from across the Brussels non-profit world came out in huge numbers to protest the the new Belgian "Arizona" government.

Massive thanks to everyone who came and especially to those who helped organise!

It's a bit dead in here, every night. The Daringman, which shut at the end of 2024. It opened during WW2 as the Ballon du Centre. The Brussels region wanted it protected as an example of 'cheap deco' but the Monuments Commission was having none of it.

As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity.

TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄

The Generative AI Con It's been just over two years and two months since ChatGPT launched, and in that time we've seen Large Language Models (LLMs) blossom from a novel concept into one of the most craven cons of the 21st ...

There’s a certain kind of person out there who has an easier time imagining AGI than an economic bubble. That person will also readily tell you critics lack imagination and simply don't understand exponentiality.

Anyway, @edzitron.com delivering the good stuff again www.wheresyoured.at/longcon/

It is kind of wild how many reporters are writing about SoftBank investing in OpenAI without mentioning WeWork or the $32bn SoftBank has lost in the last three years on terrible investments in bad ideas/companies
