@Keatingite If you can't trust the state to help keep you alive you can't trust them to help you die. It's cheaper to do 1 assisted suicide than it is to keep 1 chronically ill or disabled person alive long term, providing them adequate care and access to support
‼️I can now reveal that Kai Taylor, the Green official who had me suspended, has links to a transphobic hate group.
The group (GWD) is mostly composed of members expelled for transphobia.
.@KAITAYLOR will you disavow this transphobic hate group who helped elevate you to office?
Yesterday morning I took my mum to the GP feeling unwell and they found a satsuma-sized lump.
She was given a referral for suspected gynaecological cancer and sent for an urgent blood test.
What happened next shocked me. This is what NHS privatisation means in practice👇1/🧵

Bari Weiss murdered Refaat Alareer by falsely painting him as a terrorist with her platforms.
The IDF acted on her words, killing the poet professor and his entire family.
took several reads to get a feel for what the article is at pains to avoid saying out loud: migrants from an intercepted vessel were planned to be brought ashore at a small landing with a single, easily blocked access road which happened to be blocked by fascists. the rnli vessel
Ellie was sentenced as a terrorist after she was convicted of criminal damage for destroying 40 Israeli weapons, including quadcopter drones.
For saving lives, she was deemed a terrorist, and her family is also being targeted.
Palestine Action face harsher sanctions than Israel
To all MPs whether for, against, unsure or abstaining on the assisted suicide vote on Friday in the Commons, please watch Better Off Dead? @BBCOne@OpenUniversity It’s my documentary explaining why no disability rights organisation supports this unsafe law https://t.co/LeMWo0M5Cz
👀MUST WATCH: Last year, Liz Carr (@thelizcarr) brilliantly explained the blurred boundary between disability & terminal illness & frighteningly described how easy it would be for someone like her to convince a panel of her eligibility to die under an assisted suicide law.
This would be like Churchill saying that Britain is only going to place sanctions exclusively on the parts of German-occupied Poland where The Nazis were physically building Death Camps, and nothing else
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
Palantir have just signed a new £21m contract – this time with Britain’s grid operator.
Who were the other bidders? Well, there weren’t any. The National Energy System Operator said it was too dependent on Palantir already to invite anyone else 🤔

Whether you support Eleanora’s work or not there are three important aspects here.
1) Eleanora’s is democratically elected
2) We cannot let a transphobic billionaire media dictate what we do
3) Trans solidarity is about actions not words - and this is a mistake that needs rectifying
