I think it’s also a driver in AI growth. This idea that we should be able to do everything ourselves. It eats away at our motivation and need to make links, esp cross-disciplinary ones. It *feels* like an enabler in the moment, but in the long term, it’s a disenabler.

Dark money group offers influencers $1,500 for posts attacking Chicago Democratic primary candidate Progressive House candidate Kat Abughazaleh told MS NOW the secretive campaign is “filled with false and defamatory claims.”

HOLY SHIT.

A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.

Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

Hampstead and Highgate Express front page, Friday February 27, 1970: masthead and top story headline: Does a wampyr walk in Highgate?

Today we celebrate the fruits of one of the finest headlines ever to follow Betteridge’s Law, because it’s the 56th anniversary of “London’s most extended satanism flap”, when about 100 people broke into Highgate Cemetery to stake a vampire 🧵

Why an American-style health-care system would be bad for Britain A US style healthcare system may be politically desirable for some, but it is a far from perfect system, even for the insured

If you think the NHS has problems, wait until you see the chaos across the pond.

It’s a complex system in US - Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, TRICARE - too often the sick fall through the cracks and either stay sick or lose a lot of money – or both.

SUV drivers could face extra charges for driving in London TfL are also poised to increase 20mph zones and cut speed limits on the capital’s fastest roads later this year

Every day for literal years at this point, I've come on the internet and seen two type of content: content telling me young men are lonely and angry and need to be listened to, and content of those men saying and doing the most fucked up things imaginable.

I'm over it.

Lowering speed limits helps to reduce emissions Waka Kotahi says it's lowered speed limits to 80 kilometres per hour on about four percent of New Zealand highways as part of the Road to Zero safety campaign. The changes have frustrated many drivers...

A quick reminder that lower speeds don't just save lives, they cut fuel use and therefore emissions - nearly a quarter less fuel consumption by dropping from 110kph to 90kph. Similar with dropping from 50kph to 30kph in urban areas too.

Spain to launch tool to monitor hate on social media, PM Sanchez says MADRID, March 11 () - Spain will launch a tool to measure hate speech on digital ‌platforms as part of a broader strategy ‌to increase oversight of social media companies, Prime Minister Pedro ​Sanche...

The tool, called HODIO (Spanish for Footprint of Hatred and Polarisation), will track the presence, spread, and impact of online hate speech as part of a broader oversight of SM platforms.

Results will be made public to show how platforms respond to harmful content.

Nor will I.

I know I’ve got some Labour local gov’t types following me, so I want to say this clearly so that you can share it internally as appropriate: I will never again vote Labour while these policies, or Wes Streeting, are in place. I will not vote Labour at any level because of this.

The only thing worse than an administration run by people with video game logic is that they're BAD at video games.

Iran announces "the start of targeting the enemy's technological infrastructure in the region," by which they mean targeting assets of American companies like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc, across the region.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
