And the harms keep coming.

Natalie Haynes Stands up for the Classics is proving very funny on audiobook. #Booksky

"AI will kill us all" is used to distract from the already growing problem of "AI is taking all the jobs" because we are heading towards mass unemployment in a capitalist end game where there is no motivation AT ALL to protect income, and none of the billionaires want to give away their money.

I may have sent the BBC a complaint about the lack of Ed Zitron in their coverage. There was a bit more, but that's the essence.

We've polled our school support staff members: the findings are shocking 🏗️ Almost 1 in 4 work in buildings with asbestos 💩 More than a quarter in damp + mould 🌊 Over half face leaky roofs 🏃‍➡️ 35% lack key PE facilities 📚 17% don't have books for all ages This can't go on.

Tech stocks fall due to calls for an AI slowdown? No. Tech stocks are falling because too many people saw through the hype, and even the glacially slow and technically illiterate mainstream press are starting to understand the grift.

Anyway, buy my dragon: www.loutheye.co.uk/lucidity/buy...

I can't imagine why vastly overleveraged AI companies are manufacturing a panic about capabilities their tech doesn't have and LLMs never will, just before a set of disastrous IPOs.

Don't miss the chance of a lifetime to own a real life dragon that is about to reach the Actual Generating Inferno level of its evolution. [Advertorial] www.loutheye.co.uk/lucidity/buy...

Does anyone else feel that the feverish propaganda about killer AI and so-called rogue bots is actually an indicator that the investment bubble is close to popping?

Culture @ the Canal is always a cool event, if you're in #Louth #Lincolnshire on Saturday.

Shout-out to goths everywhere who are dismayed at the far right appropriating our colours. Diversity is a gift!

I need to mask up every Spring/Summer when the pollen is bad. The kneejerk mask bans are really about anti-Muslim persecution, and may have been the point of the Dover uniform.

Two planned data centres will emit more carbon than the entire UK operations of ExxonMobil - and both plan to build their own gas power stations. Tell Andy Burnham to rule it out! www.foxglove.org.uk/campaigns/an...

Can anyone recommend a new series of books or new author for my Y5 daughter? So far she loves Lottie Brooks, Wings of Fire, Dork Diaries, Horrible Histories, Wimpy Kid series (but probably a bit easy for her now). Any thoughts?

38 most influential cat poses is more of a Bluesky thing, imo. I'm here for the cinnamon bun curl and the whole sofa stretch, and the judgemental loaf is a contender too.

Jackdaw is back in the news and the Government is expected to make a decision soon. But the focus on North Sea drilling risks missing the far bigger picture on where future good jobs in places like Aberdeen and Grimsby will come from Read our latest research ⬇️ buff.ly/xwQw955

I'll be on a panel later this month scrutinising how the council promotes solar and sustainable design in its planning process. The sustainable design aspect should be interesting. Which aspects will most important in designing for climate change?

An intensive poultry farm with 180,000 chickens given planning permission. Which demonstrates that it's not the 1000+ objections that count, it's the defensibility of the legal case for refusal.

This applies to anyone who has ever been recorded, not just actors. Answer a scam call, and you're in their sights. Post video online, and the same applies.

Not enough is made of the promotion of genAI as a crutch for fossil fuel use. The waste is deliberate, not incidental. youtu.be/GzO4NVbzJ-E?...

A university is not a commodity. Lincoln Bishop University is set to be effectively privatised following its takeover by Global University Systems. Staff did not create this crisis and must not pay for it. UCU will fight to protect jobs, conditions and the university’s educational mission.

Gutted. RIP Dolly Parton, a wonderful human being who did so much for the world.

Reform’s housing policy isn’t family friendly- it’s just more anti women and xenophobic nonsense. If we want to support relationships we should spend less time trying to interfere in your private life and more time helping ease the pressures that come with bringing up kids. If you agree share this!

Jonathan Kennedy's Pathogenesis upends what most of us think of history, and puts humans in our place. Microbes, not us, are the central players when it comes to empire building. #Booksky

Vindication for ULEZ. We love to see it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Someone in the village has lit a bonfire. For those still wondering whether the wildfire alert was valid...

Whilst this is a great policy, in large parts of Lincolnshire there are no buses after 11pm or before 9.30am. Where I live they run from 10.30am-6.30pm, weekdays only, and mornings on Saturdays. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I feel like this Reform finance story got overlooked May 2024: Bassim Haidar opposes abolition of non-dom tax status April 2025: Haidar pledges £1m to Reform & publicly predicts/hopes Farage may create new non-dom regime June 2025: Reform launches the Britannia Card, a £250k flat-fee for non-doms

Temperatures have now exceeded 35°C in the UK today 🌡️ This now provisionally the 10th day in 2026 where temperatures have reached or exceeded 35°C or more

Mark, it's awful! It's only about five miles from where I live, and there has been a smoke haze as far as we are. I cannot bear the thought of injuries and people losing everything. Local rescue centres are asking for people to foster pets who now don't have a home, while owners get sorted

Last week I and my son put together evacuation bags. Just a bag to take if called to evacuate at short notice for whatever emergency. It's something everyone should be doing, unfortunately.

This month's trailer has been great, and I have to say I'm stoked for Binface: The Movie. To democracy and beyond!

The bats came out briefly, and now they're probably pretty confused.

Today I'm looking at the local impact of the climate crisis:

Indonesia's government has labeled LGBT+ people a "national threat," fueling violence, raids, and vigilante attacks. No one should be treated as an enemy simply for being who they are. Sign to demand that this dangerous decree be repealed. a.allout.org/s/WNE9l/

Mage.

A tax on banks' record profits could cut energy bills by up to £559 a year.

Calls for a ban on the sale of disposable barbecues are very locally focused. I can see why, but can we please not wait until this is on everyone's doorstep to act? Wildfires will affect us all. petitionmap.unboxedconsulting.com?petition=770...

It's theoretically possible for the winner in Clacton to lose their deposit too.

Reports of a large fire at Leadenham landfill site in #Lincolnshire.

AI company Anthropic secretly bought millions of rare and out-of-print books to train its Claude AI model. They used a hydraulic-powered cutting machine to remove the pages for scanning before destruction.

We should maybe ban the sale of portable barbecues during wildfire season. It should follow on from a hosepipe ban.

Farm fires near Boston, Sleaford and Grantham today, and hoped-for rain hasn't yet materialised in my part of Lincs.
