AI has talked kids into suicide, fueled paranoid delusional that led to murder, degraded education quality in both k-12 and higher ed, run roughshod over copyright law, increased spam, fueled spam, fueled fraud, degraded the environment, put people out of work, the list goes on and on.

Wales is about to pass a law allowing them to fire Politicians who lie. They will be the first country in the world where Politicians aren't allowed to lie. It's 2026, it's incredible it has taken so long.

there's plenty of restaurants in this town, but the owner of the sandwich shop downtown hates me, says he's gonna kill me, and has a sign up on the wall saying that 5 cents out of every sandwich order will go towards buying bullets to shoot me with.

Due to the success of our comic strip about the manufactured 'panic' of Lia Thomas. We commissioned another comic to celebrate the non-trans-related advancements of people's rights from gender-critical organisations. We hope you will enjoy it.

The 'panic' around Lia Thomas was about creating a target people could point at while demanding exclusion. So much of what people “know” about Lia comes from manufactured outrage and years of misinformation repeated without context. We commissioned this comic to break down the actual story. 1/2

Hey, remember the bit in the fourth book where Dumbledore says "You'll have to choose between what is right, and what is easy" ? You wanna think about the juxtaposition of those two choices specifically? You think it might have some relevance maybe?

Which is why I asked where we draw the line? Is Nick Frost, who plays Hagrid in the new series, a bad person? Are employees of the publishing house bad people? What about the kids who run the Harry Potter rides at Universal Studios? All of them, bad people?

Increasingly of the opinion that the correct answer to the Trolley Problem is "fuck you, why are you so fixated on finding reasons to justify killing people?"

No, @mozilla.org , we didn't ask for more control over AI, we asked for you not to put AI bs in your browser at all. And no, you didn't listen. I've been procrastinating switching over to a new browser since you started talking about this, but I guess this is a good time to pull the trigger.

Give me a billion and I will be overwhelmed by decision paralysis because like wtf that's so much many I could do so many things how am I supposed to make my mind up

Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

people who say "i'll never vote for party A unless they give me X, Y and Z" understand and are participating in democracy. anyone who is like "i will vote for party A under any circumstances no matter what" may as well have a king

AI is killing the games industry. Don't use it, don't accept it, push back against it wherever you can, because this tech is cannibalizing everything you care about, even if you don't know it, it's poisoning something right now that you'll feel the impact of further down the line.

2% tax on assets worth over £10m would raise £24bn/year. Starmer's welfare cuts will only save £5bn/year. Instead of making the poorest and most vulnerable pay for years of austerity, it's time to introduce a wealth tax.

10 years ago this week, I started work on Tunic. The game wouldn't have been the success it was without LGBTQ+ folks, both devs and players. So, I'm matching donations to Trans Lifeline. If you can spare $5 (or more!) reply with your donation and I'll X2 it. Thank you! 💕 give.translifeline.org
