OBR finds that its projection that Brexit would cost the country £40 billion have 'broadly materialised'.

This is insane.

This: www.londonunderground.live by @ben-jamez.bsky.social, is absolutely amazing 🙌🏽👏🏽🤩

See below for the submission of the @assocphoto.bsky.social to the UK government, strongly opposing the proposed exception to copyright for the purposes of training AI, & setting out very useful context & information in support of their position.

Technicolor: Historic visual effects studio collapses in UK The company's UK entity has filed for administration, with 'the majority' of its UK staff made redundant.

Sad to see… massive impact on 10,000 creative individuals:

🚨🚨 So five years since #brexit and I think it is time reshare Daniel Hannan's absolutely insane and delusional vision of grandeur and hubris that characterised the true engineers and believers of #brexit. Here comes the #brexit insanity No 1 🧵

It is woeful. We’re way behind most of Europe in 4G/5G connectivity.

If #RachelReevesMP really wants to get growth going, then perhaps ensuring decent mobile networks exist along the main train routes would be an easy win. Just spent 30 mins on one transaction that should only take 3 on the @eastmidsrailway.bsky.social route to #London. #productivity #fail

Maybe it’s been switched on by default? Things might have changed as more and more ppl have been signing up!

It might be down to the settings each person has set on their own Bluesky feed. I haven’t switched on any content moderation, so perhaps that’s why I see it without having to tap, ‘Show’…?

I see your post intact, Fi… Strange.

Thanks Penny. Much appreciated and enjoyed the discussion 🙏🏽.

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

I’m so tired of him as well.

@assocphoto.bsky.social will be working, along with many other trade orgs representing (human) creators, to try & ensure the UK’s gold standard copyright regime is not undermined by #generativeai

Fight back against fascism: how big money is threatening democracy Fascism thrives when democracy falters. From funding Reform to vigilance, here’s how we protect our future

“All donations that originate from abroad, no matter who is the final donor, should be banned. Only UK citizens should be allowed to donate to British political organisations. This would, by necessity mean no donations from private companies; PLCs, LTDs, whatever.”

Easily the best description of him I’ve ever read.

Opinion: Photographers, it's time to boycott Adobe The company’s AI push shows its naked contempt for the photographers who made it what it is. They won’t stop, so we must stop enabling them.

This, amateurphotographer.com/latest/photo... from Jon Stapeley, writing for Amateur Photographer, is worth a read. Great alternatives to #Adobe products from Affinity/Serif software and Capture One.

Thks to @graemedowniemp.bsky.social for asking about steps the @ukgov.bsky.social will take to stop unlawful use of #creators work in training datasets. Hope that @feryalclark.bsky.social will listen to what we ( @assocphoto.bsky.social ) & others have to say.
