The term for that is White supremacy and any coverage of Reform that does not include that term is complicit in whitewashing White supremacy. Sometimes things really are that simple.

I’m going to be honest, there’s a lot less smut than I was promised.
My god that kitten is remembering all the committee meetings ever.

Historiography: who asked "who the fuck" and why the fuck did they?

Infographic showing Nigel Farage with the headline Follow the money: sources of Reform UK’s declared funding. 81% Ex Conservatives, £29,210,931; 11% Reform leadership, £3,913,919; 8% everyone else, £2,988,902
👀 👀 Look how much Reform funding has come from Tory donors!
Nerve investigation finds:
🟡 Donors giving to both parties at once
🟡 Tory donors switching to Reform, jacking up amounts
🟡 Reform donors giving to specific Tory MPs… who then defect to Reform

A crypto investor just donated £9 million to the Reform Party. Right now, billionaires can pour unlimited money into our elections, effectively buying our democracy. Think that's wrong? Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...
UK has lost its official status as a country that has achieved elimination of measles, as vaccination rates have fallen below the 95% required to achieve herd immunity. So sad, and likely due vaccine misinformation. If you haven't already, get your kids vaccinated ASAP. www.bbc.com/news/article...

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best. It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.
it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.
Are you limiting yourself to Yorkshire?
