Grokipedia is the goal of all AI companies—they want to centralize the Internet so we are fully reliant on one source of information.

Then, at the click of a button, they can change our entire shared reality. They’re vying for our attention—if they capture all of it, they enslave us.

Don’t use AI.

@comicbookherald.bsky.social Hey Dave, Ally here.Sorry, can't message privately because I refuse to do the UK age verification thing. I've recently emailed you on an important matter on the CBH email. Would appreciate you looking at it. Thanks so much. Sorry to be contacting you like this!

Not to be a hater but I don't understand why Tom King and Kelly Thompson keep getting nominated for awards.

Very concerned about queer students in my school, as well as queer staff. Feels like the government has turned against them.

Not that it wouldn't have gone the same way if the Tories had stayed in government, but queer rights have declined under Labour.

Been thinking (worrying) a lot about queer (particularly trans) rights in the UK, and it's weird to think that the height of queer protection and rights in this country was possibly under Theresa May? Or Cameron?

There used to be something of a consensus on trans rights in UK politics. When Theresa May was PM in 2017, she proposed allowing people to change gender without the need for medical checks – something that even Labour has now moved away from. There is a thesis to be written on why opinion on this has shifted so swiftly.

Palestinians are not statistics. There will never be a way to account for the lives, aspirations, and dreams lost by those whose only wish was liberation and to live in peace and with dignity.

I pitched Hind Rajab’s story to the BBC while she was still alive. I will never stop fighting for the newsroom conditions in which her story would have been told long before she was killed by Israel. We’d have seen immediate wall to wall coverage of a 5-year-old white girl.
