.@BBCNewsnight continue to refer to the two child benefit cap rather than the two child limit, which is a distinct policy from the benefit cap - both of which punish children in poverty. I have emailed [email protected] - please do the same.

[Dr Ciara Fitzpatrick @C_Fitz_]

A year ago, we launched a report on the consequences of the cuts to education for children and young people. Today I listened to the disappointing outlook for children who are in poverty. https://t.co/E2JXO6kmKF

More than 400 migrants and refugees have drowned in the Central Mediterranean during the first 3 months of the year, making it the deadliest quarter since 2017 https://t.co/iLCOxfumrS

[MMitchell @mmitchell_ai]

Okay. Inspired by news & @stealcase, let me clarify something.
When AI companies release "open training data" for a model, they're generally sharing *fine-tuning* data. The big issues w data and consent are NOT of this type. The issues are with the MAIN DATA used in training.🧵

[Techni-Calli @Iwillleavenow]

I really hate that so many of our most important and life-altering industries are rampantly adopting AI when the consequences of AI decisions are literally life and death.

I tried desperately to explain why I loved Piranisi when I read it last year. This thread really nails it. If you haven’t picked it up yet, it is so very worth it.

[Adrian Tchaikovsky @aptshadow]

Very late to the party but Susanna Clarke's Piranesi is hands down one of the best books I've ever read. Very hard to talk about without impacting on the reading experience, as discovery is a major joy in the book.

[Dr Bethany Waterhouse-Bradley @bethwatbrad]

Years after our loss, participating in these interviews was such a healing experience for me. I’m so grateful to @AnneTracey13 - her research approach is a gold standard in participant care and dignity.

BREAKING: one of the world's leading scientists on extinction says 70% of all Earth's big animals (mammals, birds) have been wiped out since 1918, along with 90% of SE Asia's tropical forests since 2000, and 98% of big ocean fish since 1973 - the rapid mass extinction scenario 🧵

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

The problem is not simply that capitalism produces too much, but that it produces the wrong stuff: SUVs, fast fashion and planned obsolescence instead of public transit, affordable housing and universal healthcare. It overuses resources and still fails to meet even basic needs.

.@TrussellTrust NI figures out today - 10k *new* foodbank users across NI. Lyndsay Agnew the manager of one of the biggest foodbanks in NI reported a 100% increase in use of the Lisburn foodbank in October 2022 #CrushedbyCOL

[NISRA @NISRA]
