Look, I know AI is controversial, but just for a moment, let's set aside our preconceived notions, our biases, the environmental impact, the massive cost to train and run models, the labor exploitation, the intellectual property theft, the inaccuracies, the mania it causes in users, the destruction of search, the deskilling of professionals, the devaluation of creative work, job losses, and lack of economic value from enterprise implementations.
Wait, what were we talking about?

I'm with Frances Ryan - the cut to disability payment is the final confirmation that Labour is not the party it once was.....
In political terms its a massive unforced error... in moral terms, its a disgrace.

Il y a quelques semaines, la France était sous l'influence des Frères musulmans (sunnites).
Maintenant, la France, c'est l'influence des mollahs iraniens (chiites).
On voit que ce n'est pas la cohérence qui les préoccupe, mais plutôt de nous faire peur avec l'islam (peu importe le courant).
Fairly often on here I see people sharing stories about #PublicLibraries being like a secret cheat code around late-capitalist extraction and the collapse of communitarian values we see every day in a world built on individualism, consumption and individualistic consumption. Here’s another one:
After arranging a drag queen story hour at her very rural library, out of the abundant depth of her caring and curiosity and without a great deal of political context, and not quite knowing what she had gotten into when chuds with sidearms and bibles showed up to block the door with their pickups, and being very appreciative when, truly spontaneously as we’d never organized together before, a much larger number of anarcho inflected antifascists of all flavors appeared from across the region to help keep the day safe (the queens were extremely sparkly and the kids were extremely giggly), the librarian was so appreciative and got so curious (again, as librarians do) that she now wants to put together a series of intro workshops around topics like de-escalation, mutual aid, protest safety, community defense and consensus-based autonomous organizing.
So, tl;dr.. some christofascists showed up to be mean and dumb about queer and trans people and scare little kids and now the targeted library is starting to look a little like an anarchist infoshop 🖤😂🖤

The world’s largest military alliance has agreed to increase military spending from 2 percent to 5 percent of the GDP. This places bitter class struggles and social spending cuts on the agenda.World Socialist Web Site
Having said that, I do believe that the EU countries should abandon NATO and create their own defense alliance. Because NATO was maybe always very much about US interests, but lately it has has become 99.999% in US interests only.
Keeping yourself attached to this MAGA US as European countries is very harmful.
I do support a moderate increase in military spending but only if it doesn't involve the US in any way. And the 5% goal is ludicrously extravagant and war inducing.
