NHS official pushed to add patient data to Palantir platform whilst also advising company
A lobbyist who worked directly for Peter Mandelson, on the Palantir board, and on the board of *four* NHS trusts.
Lobbying the NHS to hand over even more patient data to Palantir.
This absolutely stinks. Get Palantir out of the NHS. Sign my petition:

tl;dr Labour is fascism-lite now and it turns out that people hate that (and fascists will always seek out the real thing anyway). It's one of the reasons I'm always urging Dems to resist the constant calls by pundits to move right, especially on social issues.
Fuckin’… Kirsten Dunst, too. Of course!
Little known fact, but George actual Clooney is in E.R. Like, a lot.
Rewatching E.R. after, gods, so many years.
It’s fun to watch technology creep into shows with a long run, like West Wing.
Also actor spotting - Julie Bowen, Michael Ironside, Ashley Johnson…
i don't know what more we can do beyond cutting the books up in little pieces and making airplane noises while floating a page over to their eyeballs
Has anyone confirmed if men are actually able to read?
A man asked me last night what publishing needs to do for literary fiction to begin appealing to men again. I said, as nicely as I could, that, with over 2,000 books published every Tuesday, of which many would appeal to men, it’s not a publishing problem, it’s a men problem.
Are there 17 half finished jumpers wandering around your house like little Sock Boy homunculi?

"Pac-Man? I haven't heard that name in a long time..."
I loved this as a kid. Before I understood about commissioning and all that I just thought it was a very tightly written show.
By the gods, it was low budget joy!
🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.
This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.
Please spread the word.

I’m going to invoice the government for how long it took me to fill in that AI consultancy form. I’m freelance. That was my time, trying to teach you dumb, venal, chip-struck cunts what property is.

A masterclass from Zack Polanski on #BBCLauraK:
“There is no example in history where we’ve bombed people into democracy.”
No shouting. Just facts doing the heavy lifting.

I think you mean “panicking immigrants” Ms Oakshott?
As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it.
Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.
Said to a friend earlier I’d had Gareth down for more than 5 for us.
Clearly just set a low bar(ry)…
Alt National Park Service: Boycott OpenAI! OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, announced Friday that the company reached an agreement with the Department of Defense to deploy its AI models on a classified network just hours after Trump ordered federal agencies to phase out rival Anthropic.
Given the alternative, I'm glad Anthropic at least refused the admin's demand to use their products for outright evil.
But are we really turning this into a battle between the "good" AI company and the evil AI company? Really?
The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive
such a classic scene...

Again: trans people are a very small minority. If your *KNEEJERK* reaction when you encounter these rare & beautiful butterflies is *ANYTHING* other than “What can I do to make your life a little brighter?” you need to interrogate yourself. Impede the life of trans ppl & you’re in danger, from me. ❤️
Two people (3 dimensional) stood in front of four people (2 dimensional) and the numbers 2:22, because it’s a poster for the play ‘2:22 A Ghost Story’
Oh wow. What a great play and story!
Great cast, tight focused set and script - really played with the audience.
Loved it 👻 🧸
