Today we took some of the King’s treasure and we gave it to kids in Belfast, on both sides of the community!

for years to come, we will still be uncovering the infinite ways AI tools encode and exacerbate racism, sexism, and all other isms in covert and nuanced ways. and countless lives will be irreversibly negatively impacted

I'm talking at a conference later this year (on UX+AI). I just saw an ad for the conference with my photo and was like, wait, that doesn't look right. Is my bra showing in my profile pic and I've never noticed...? That's weird. I open my original photo. No bra showing. I put…

You can't discuss health & wellbeing and work, without having a conversation about health and wellbeing at work. Painting obesity and being "overweight" as an issue in itself helps nobody. The Labour Party and their advisors aren't stupid, they know this, and do not care

Olly Alexander was "trying not to have a breakdown" when Queers for Palestine urged him not to participate in Eurovision. He then cries, says his goals are THE SAME as QfP, then says "I'm in the best place I've been". I hope he's haunted forever, that blood will never wash away.

don’t wish to be rude but sick of seeing this take. whats being advocated for is for 200k people to take their attention away from organising workplaces, communities, unis etc across the country to pour energy into trying to elect 3? 4? people in a system designed to crush them

If Corbyn forms a new party, 200,000 former Labour members who resigned/were purged, + 1000s who haven't yet 'purged themselves', + 1000s of politically 'homeless' voters will join said party as a main left-wing opposition just as 'La France Insoumise', replaced Partie Socialist

I have no hot takes on this really. I’ve just found myself staring into the middle distance in disbelief a lot today. Wild. Just deeply unhinged behaviour.

In time we will hear from people who either refused to condemn, or wilfully ignored evidence of, genocide - be it material, legal, anecdotal. We will hear them lament that position, with false regret, but negate it by citing they "didn't have the full picture". We will remember

"however hideous iraq was" crazy how you can handwave inflicting untold human suffering with a few sure start centres

In the 1948 Nakba, at least 15,000 Palestinians were killed and over 750,000 forcibly displaced. In the current assault on Gaza we know the official death count of 11,000+ is an undercount; it’s plausible that it exceeds 15K. Meanwhile 1.7 million Palestinians are now displaced.

If Keir Starmer has one million haters, I am all of them. If he has 100 haters, I am all of them. If he has 1 hater, I am her. If he has 0 haters, it means I have left this world. If the world is for Keir Starmer, then I am against the world.

Never forget that the Majority of UK Parliament ignored the Calls for a ceasefire to a Genocide.

i keep hearing how leaving "tech corps to self-regulate" is like letting them "grade their own assignment". a more accurate analogy is "writing their own assignment then grading their own performance based on questions and metric they set out"

Portillo, justifying the continuing genocide here in the name of the US-UK alliance, has a popular BBC series about him going on railway journeys. The BBC plays such a key role in portraying these monstrous ghouls as relatable people to whom the public should listen to and like.

Former defence secretary Michael Portillo says Keir Starmer has done "exactly the right thing" to oppose a Gaza ceasefire which is important "because the United States would want to know whether a Labour government was going to deviate from the alliance with the United States".

Who chooses to live on a cold, wet street in a tent "as a lifestyle choice" ?! The only thing "taking over our streets" is hostile architecture, empty buildings nobody can afford to rent anymore, and when we're lucky, beautiful demonstrations of a solidarity you can't understand

The British people are compassionate. We will always support those who are genuinely homeless. But we cannot allow our streets to be taken over by rows of tents occupied by people, many of them from abroad, living on the streets as a lifestyle choice. 1/4
