@GNRailUK we’re on the delayed 1317 Alexandra Palace to Stevenage train, can you ask them to go faster as we need to make a connection that leaves at 1401

[Jaron Ghani @jar0n]

@LNER can you hold the 1401 from Stevenage to Leeds for a few minutes? We’re delayed on a connecting train from Alexandra Palace

The degree to which Western countries are willing to humiliate their own citizens - and themselves - simply to enable Israel to continue to commit genocide, is beyond belief...

Journalists are meant to speak truth to power. That's our job. But what do you do when that power is your own news org?

This thread (professional suicide note?) is about @guardian & @ObserverUK's future. Because it turns out you can’t believe everything you read on a poster..

No. The fight for the future is between various forms of technologically driven growth - some of which empower and support humans and some of which destroy the planet and result in massive income inequality and a consolidation of power to a tiny minority.

me & my collaborators have done the most extensive research of the LAION datasets (3 academic papers & the first to investigate dataset in 2021 showing misogyny, pornography, & malignant stereotypes)

They are doctors. What hope do we have that the Government will resolve this dispute when the Health Secretary is so dismissive, or so ignorant, of the experience of our dedicated doctors?

In war, words matter too.

I seem to have a lot of free time today. I just posted a mammonth collection of notes on Gibson's SPRAWL TRILOGY, which starts with Neuromancer. Quote, commetns, photos. You can read it on Medium. https://t.co/FDv7i5Qwbv

This is just wild. 2 women were arrested in the UK for holding a sign in Arabic. The cops asked them to translate the sign. They did. The cops couldn’t verify it because they didn’t have a translator, so they arrested them
