It's impossible to whistle and laugh at the same time...

@RestIsPolitics 2/2 this binary applied to your coverage of Open AI - but I'd love to hear your thoughts about navigating the clash btwn commercial vs inclusive development. The next story on the Dutch scandal ignored the involvement of AI - a real harm that is lost in the existential hype

[Annabel Gillard @annabelgillard]

@RestIsPolitics It is great that TRIP is now addressing AI - but coverage is frustratingly binary - doomer vs utopian, existential risk or glorious abundance...but most of the AI ethics community are worried about actual harms happening now & the lack of accountability or democratic involvement

Did you know 70% of the population are concerned about Government secrecy, according to polling by @openDemocracy? RT if you are too.

Wrong way to police a vigil protesting violence against women

Today we mark the first anniversary of when it was obvious Johnson should have done something.

Truly horrifying images coming from Beirut. I am sure I speak for all Londoners when I say our thoughts and prayers are with the city and its residents.

Obama on call-out culture is such an anthem for our times.

@mick_hyde I don’t fully understand your point- are you saying that anything taxpayer funded should support the government line irrespective of whether it makes any sense to do so? Sounds a bit north korea to me....

[Armando Iannucci @Aiannucci]

Our Creative Industries give more to the UK GDP than the Oil and Car Industries combined.They also pump billions into the Hospitality and Tourism Industries. But some, like theatre and music, will be the last to open up. I’d urge the Govt to prioritise financial support.

It's hard to find anything positive in the news about #COVID19. One silver lining is that some countries have deployed really smart policies, providing us all with best practices to learn from. I tried collecting some of the best examples I've seen.

@FoxxysTweets I’ve come across bad losers before but Brexiters have shown us quite how grumpy ‘winners’ can be. In this thread you have called ALL remainers sociopaths while complaining that remainers are attributing the brexit vote to a single cause.

Wow - just wow

Thread time!

Meet Mary Burchell, one of the most successful romance writers EVER. Over 110 Mills & Boons to her name.

Got an image of her in your head now, right? Bin it.

Because Mary is a Righteous Gentile.

She wrote books to fund her efforts to help Jews escape Nazi Germany

These doctors, nurses and NHS staff have a message for the country.
Watch to the end - sound on.

On June 20th, Georgia is likely to carry out the 1500th execution in the U.S. since 1977. #StopThe1500th

The death penalty is still:

-applied disproportionally against people of color and poor people

-executing innocent people

-not proven to deter crime

-applied arbitrarily
