I don't think we can change the forces of the climate that are carefully and finely balanced and not pay a price somewhere for doing so.
Great, so it will let more people troll people across platforms. Neither FB nor Instagram can deal with this on their own platforms, add this in to the mix could be a recipe for real problems down the line.

We need to start replacing the word killed with MURDERED.
It seems to me the MET doesn't just have a problem with racism, as we saw with Wayne Cousins, there are problems with Misogamy, inapproriate sexual behaviour, taking photos of dead crime victims and sharing a host of other things.
We need to stop making excuses, stop blaming Autism, ADHD, Mental health or other conditions for this behaviour , and call people who are racist RACIST BIGOTS, and if they don't like it TOUGH.
As Kier starmer said with the NHS, it is broken, by accepting it is broken, you can start the process of fixing it.
We seem to go round in circles with inquiries, investigations, consultations and such like, all conclude with what the average person in the street could have said at the very start of the process.
The same surely needs to apply to the police, however there seems to be bad actors in many other areas such as the fire service, armed forces have or are suffering similar issues.

Things don't look to be getting any better at the Met (London's police force), if anything they look to be getting worse.
Having been branded institutionally racist, the Metropolitan Police don't seem to have got a real handle on how to change the character of the force.
If you're thinking 'its just these ten officers, perhaps they've just been unlucky', see it as part of a pattern of racism not a set of isolated incidents.... 'institutional' racism!

Thanks, I am just going to share the wikipedia article on Lord Clive for anyone who would like to try and learn more about what he did etc

My current mood: Can I please not look at anything more AI related and have some valid excuse to just write some BASIC stuff on an Atari or Commore64 today instead? Maybe do some PETSCII style "GPU" compute?

“Curtailing consumption is the conversation nobody wants to have. Talk of how we can transition to a post-capitalist society has not yet made it into mainstream debate. Yet, there is no escaping these issues if there is to be a safe and equitable future for everyone on this planet”
Spot on from the Irish Times.

“Several posts on Facebook claim that mpox (the disease caused by the monkeypox virus) is actually a side effect of the Covid-19 vaccines. This is not true.”
Can’t believe we even need these fact checking articles. It’s a sad reflection of where we are.
I sometimes refer to facebook as retard book for exactly this reason, people on there are either thick or badly educated to the point they either share or post nonsense like this in the first place.
I agree we should not need posts such as the one here, to explain
errors happen, the important thing to me is that once they have been found, they are recognised, investigted and any related papers are retracted so others know there is or was a problem.

Study that found suspiciously low incidence of Long #COVID19 in kids is retracted after multiple methodology errors.
"We apologize to the readers and editors of JAMA Pediatrics for these errors."

#Gaza #Palestine
#IsraelWarCrimes
Israel has released 33 Palestinian detainees taken from Gaza. Before they reunited with their families, they described severe abuse at the hands of Israeli guards.
Tens of thousands of Palestinian detainees are enduring a relentless campaign of cruelty. Reports detail harrowing accounts of beatings, gang rape, and psychological torture, compounded by the denial of essential needs such as food, water, and medical care.
