This is important
NEW: 93 murders in London (pop: ~9m) in 12 months to October. The city's murder rate is now lowest for decades; perhaps centuries. https://t.co/T0o7Q0bgVw

AI 'griefbots' & the push for 'assisted dying' - seem interconnected. With AD you can remove those difficult moral conflicts around 'people who want to die'. Then you can bring them back to life as a shiny, happy AI version of themselves once they're dead. Pic: D Zender

“The gov't is doing some good stuff and it has a machine that should be able to amplify a relatively simple message that involves some measure of positivity. But it just seems incapable of doing it. I know people who are on the minimum wage who didn't know that it had gone up.”😱

People ask us why we are still on Twitter? Musk & his cronies have atomised social media - a terrifically successful act of divide & conquer over liberals & the left. We are one of many liberal & left islands that fair-minded people can come on in their boat. We don’t mind boats
