A Portrait - Nine Elms

A random quick portrait of me taken by Andreya.

This scene is one of my favourite visual sights to enjoy on the tube network, if you visit Nine Elms station at the right time on a sunny day you'll be rewarded with these spectacular shadows & projections.

It’s racist, it’s extremist and it’s immoral The right is still calling for deportations, and the government is still being cowardly about it. Also: London’s first green belt; some notes on a shark; and some news, on my next book.

"The idea of deporting people with settled status is disgusting, and anyone proposing it should be immediately drummed out of polite society. Breaking promises made in good faith to our friends and neighbours is racist, extremist and immoral."

I'm basically shouting at the sky here, but still.

What Reform's Kent nightmare means for Farage's dream of becoming PM Reform is hoping to prove it is fit for government by the way it runs local authorities Nigel Farage is relying on Kent County Council to prove Reform can hold office.

"We've undeclared the climate crisis, which will free us up further down the line to make many more savings when we start to unpick all the net zero targets that have been sort of baked into the constitution. Then we can save a lot more money in the long term."

CIr Kemkaran said she had appointed an internal Department of Local Government Efficiency or "Doge team" which was scrutinising each Cabinet member on what savings could be made.

Reform has “undeclared the climate crisis” to try to find savings.
Wow. If only we’d known it was that easy. Don’t like it? Just “undeclare” it. Simples.

The thought of clowns like this in government is just beyond anything remotely sane. Let’s not go there.

County Durham free speech laws changed despite warning of 'offensive' language A bid to change free speech laws for councillors in County Durham has been approved.

Reform UK has changed free speech laws in Durham. All because Councillors like Darren Grimes don’t like scrutiny.

They hate accountability.

You have been warned.

Visiting PM says UK paying price for Brexit with dig at Nigel Farage 'theatrics' Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama referenced 'Brexit boats' and said leaving the EU had made Britons more depressed as he took a veiled swipe at Nigel Farage

🇦🇱 Albanian PM, Edi Rami: "You left Europe because you wanted less boats, and you have more boats."

"You left Europe because you wanted more investment. You have less investment."

Apropos of nothing, I really do think UK journalists and politicians need some reminding that mass deportation of LEGAL immigrants, particularly those with permanent status, is far more extreme than even Trump's America and would basically place Britain completely on its own among democracies.

Migrants will be required to pass A Level standard of English Migrants will be required to pass tough new English language requirements under a law introduced in Parliament today.

I will bet my bike that close to zero of the British racists that this law is pandering to could pass A-level English.

subsuming any kind of machine learning under the 'AI' moniker (and most people assuming all AI is generative AI) is going to create a ton of trouble, especially when/if the financial hype around it slows down or collapses

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,

other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Looking back these photos taken a while back of a train shooting out of a tunnel towards a Hamilton theatre poster. It looks like the man in the poster is staring down the barrel of his shotgun at the approaching train.

One thing I dislike about the "polarisation" debates is that sometimes the two poles are "we should deport hundreds of thousands of legal residents" and "we should treat all immigrants with dignity", and talking about polarisation makes it sound like these are equally extreme or bad.

Farage the Trump parrot A writer’s response to Nigel Farage’s aping of Trump’s policies

"Farage has no ideas of his own, he just steals from his idol Trump. He wants to be Britain’s own mini-Trump.

He wants us to copy the failed Trump strategies which are driving the US economy into deep recession."

Cartoon: two people at a table with paper, rulers, pens, knives, a jam jar with tools in. Third person entering the scene. Person at the table says "Welcome to Book Binding Club. Please make yourself a tome". I don't know how well puns work with readers. It's two separate words, "a" and "tome". Would welcome any feedback on this.

Cartoon of a small figure of a man in the left running out of the frame, arms outstretched, saying ‘Help!’. On the right he is being pursued by a small, cheerful looking T Rex type of dinosaur saying ‘Roooar!’. There is an asterisk next to the exclamation mark and below the dinosaur it says ‘*You’ve dropped your wallet’. The dinosaur is holding a wallet.

Yes, they might.
And he should wear it as a badge of honour.
