Her name is Gina Martin. She was at a music festival in London when a man pushed his phone between her legs and took a photo under her skirt. She reported it to the police immediately. They told her it wasn't a criminal offence. There was nothing they could do.
She went home and decided that was unacceptable. With no legal background, no political connections and no funding she launched a campaign to make upskirting a criminal offence in England and Wales. She petitioned. She lobbied MPs. She spoke publicly about what had happened to her. The government initially blocked the bill.
She kept going. The Voyeurism Act passed in January 2019. Upskirting now carries up to two years in prison. Scotland followed. Other countries are following. A woman at a festival with no lawyer, no funding and no political connections rewrote the law for an entire nation in eighteen months.

You have to choose.

You can have ChatGPT, or you can have water.

You can have Claude, or you can have clean soil.

You can have Grok, or you can have a survivable future.

You cannot have both.

I’ve been a vegetarian since I was 7 and I think meat has an important cultural and nutritional role. Unlike ai, which is completely avoidable

I’d rather see a basic Canva flyer than a ChatGPT flyer

telling someone from Belfast that the British military defends his free speech is crazy as fuck

I think that if you’re going to write a piece in the Times urging the government to use and boost more AI, the fact that you are paid by a major AI company should be in the first sentence, or at least first paragraph.
I also think that the best scenario for AI is that it destroys millions of jobs with the prosperity, dignity and community that goes with them.
The worst scenario is the destruction of the human race - a fear openly expressed by an increasing number of senior and experienced AI engineers who are leaving the industry.
And somewhere in between a myriad of horrors such as yet more screen learning and screen addiction for our children.
But I do see that it will make rich men even richer. And that’s the most important thing of course.

i am legally obliged to disclose if i received a lip gloss for free in an IG story yet rishi sunak can write a column for the sunday times endorsing AI without having to share that he’s paid by Anthropic

Szoboszlai is the first player this season to score a freekick where the distance (in yards) from goal matches the Scrabble score of his surname (30)

This is the end result of anti-trans bigotry: more harassment of girls and women, more policing of gender roles, more gender McCarthyism.

This isn’t really a paradox. People who understand what cigarettes do are also less likely to smoke them.

The Americanisation of football will be the death of this sport

We had to watch the coffin of an unelected monarchy for 5 days straight! People actually like Kneecap and their music

So Gary Lineker’s interview with Mo Salah was cancelled over fears they’d mention Gaza.

Silencing two of the biggest voices in football just to protect Israel from criticism isn’t journalism, it’s complicity in genocide.

Interesting Fact of the Day: If Robert Jenrick were to catch 50 fare dodgers a day, recouping £2.90 each time for the taxpayer, it would take him well over 1,000 years to recoup the amount the taxpayer lost when he helped a major Tory donor avoid a £45m tax bill back in 2020.
