the more i read about more AI the more it seems like the 21st century version of the enclosure laws basically the stealing of common resources, in this instance that resource being data instead of land en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enclosure

i see the toady faced conman Farage is on #r4today, … again proud of Brexit the liar

The 2004 comedy Napoleon Dynamite was an indie sensation. It only cost $400,000 and two of its star's testicles to make. We salute you, actor Jon Heder, on your #BicycleBirthday! Born October 26, 1977

Ah, yes. California. A state famously inhospitable to automobiles and car-centric development.

It's a good job Suella Braverman claimed £45,000 for water bills on her parliamentary expenses. If she had failed to declare a ten quid overpayment on Universal Credit, she'd have been in serious trouble then.

I've seen more punters at a tripe auction.

just switched into Jamie’s 20 minute meals. he’s handling raw beef then grabbing jars, and bottles without washing his hands 😨 i don’t eat meat, so i’m not the target audience for this recipe, but it’s all a bit unsettling

WTF - WHY has BBC News channel dropped everything and gone live to cover a Farage speech?

“cities should be designed around people not cars” should not be a controversial view www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

why the f is Tice on #r4today talking about a “Reform budget”? do the Green/LibDems get the same platform?

So many have come out to protest in Paris for an end to endless austerity to make the billionaires trillionaires and everyone else homeless.

This is fucking insane. It reads like a bad spy novel. The corruption is almost cartoonish at this point. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

Fucking hell. 11 ORD and F6 WGN. Cunt tag-team champions of today. @yplac.bsky.social

Burnham’s government is telling people to stockpile food & water in case of a climate crisis/“technological dependency” while contributing to that climate crisis with Jackdaw & embedding *Palantir* into government systems. Labour is literally saying “protect yourselves from our bad decisions.” 1/2

Since 2016, London’s cycling network has grown fivefold, from 90 to 450 kilometres. The results? 1.5 million daily cycle journeys—a 43% increase since 2019—twice as many bikes as cars on City of London streets during the day, and motor traffic in steady decline—having fallen 25% in the same period.

It struck me that almost every seemingly intractable problem on today's front pages could be substantially alleviated simply by taxing the extraordinarily wealthy people and corporations whose greed, short-termism and pursuit of power we protect at the expense of almost everything else.

as a veteran car hater, even i’m learning some shocking new things from this excellent video “700 children a day killed in car crashes” 😨 #MustWatch #CarsRuinEverything

Johnson’s shambolic handling of the Covid epidemic should come with him serving time.

Get Hancock, Johnson and the rest up in court where justice can be carried out.

WATCH: Whether you love cars or hate cars, you should watch this new video & better understand the truth about the real costs & consequences of too many cars in our cities, & the car dependency many of us live in. You might find it hard to watch, but watch it to the end anyway. Via @notjustbikes.com

Maybe the BBC should get someone who actually knows what he is talking about then.

$25 billion! 💥💥💥 This is one of the biggest fines in history — and it cuts to the core of the crooked Brexit ref! The case is about Facebook harvesting data from millions of users and selling it to Cambridge Analytica to generate targeted ads. Cambridge Analytica worked for the Leave camp and Trump.

I mean… How long do we have to put up with this shit? We really do get it. Farage’s greed makes him an insane security threat. And there’s absolutely nothing altruistic or democratic or good for the country that will come from his frenzied corruption. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
