DemocracyNow reporting on a AI generated argument between Sam Altman and Naomi Klein is where we are now. The internet is increasingly LLM content, and because it's so much easier to generate soon it will be, or maybe already is, the majority. That will discourage actual content creators to create and readers to read, advertisers to advertise and hosters to host. This is the path to the dead internet. https://youtu.be/BbcC-hp687M #AIslop #SamAltman #democracynow #Naomiklein #deadinternet

Stop scanning us all with facial recognition

#FacialRecognition is out of control in the #UK and there are no clear #laws in place to protect our #privacy.

Unlike #CCTV, facial recognition doesn’t just record what you do:

We must stop this ...

Oooh - normally I'd rather use an RSS feed directly but this is one of those rare times that a fedi bot is on the side of good,I think. http://www.democracynow.org/2026/7/27/fires_europe_heat was just shared by @DemocracyNow_Headlines_rss@burn.capital which, yeah, kind of important to be forthright about this? Just a little? And corporate media isn't doing a great job of that. A third of a million climate evacuees this week! among the largest peacetime evacuations in France since World War II with important facets omitted in other coverage: the firefighters’ strike in Madrid? They had been warning for years about being underresourced, ... they are in, ... Madrid, a conservative-controlled area where the head of the region talks about, oh, climate change as being propaganda. #DemocracyNow #news #Spain #wildfires #climateChange

these academics have context that bloviators lack: The extreme temperatures and severe drought conditions have created a new category of sixth-generation wildfires what's a sixth-gen wildfire? these are not normal fires. They are so intense that they create their own weather systems — right? — and making them virtually impossible to extinguish until the weather recedes just how cataclysmic? flames exceeding a hundred meters, so these are 30-story-tall flames and It’s extraordinary, kind of end times-class energy that is being released by these systems now. http://www.democracynow.org/2026/7/27/fires_europe_heat #wildfires #spain #DemocracyNow #climateChange

Give MPs a vote on #NHS #pharma deal with Trump #UK govt agreed deal with #Trump where #OurNHS pay pharma companies much higher #drugs prices The cost to #NHS £45 billion by 2036. Govt has refused to say how the UK will pay for this, or give MPs a vote on the deal. Research in the #British #Medical Journal shows that diverting NHS funds to pay for it would result in more than 200,000 avoidable #deaths of #patients by 2036 https://act.globaljustice.org.uk/tell-uk-come-clean-cost-trump-nhs-deal #DemocracyNOW #corruption #dictatorial

... Our system of #electing #MPs, #FPTP, means national outcomes often bear little relation to how people actually #vote

  • In 2024, #Labour’s 34% vote share translated into two-thirds of the seats. But that massive #majority hasn’t lent stability, because #stability comes from popular support.

From A. W. A. D. at wordsmith.org and Happy Birthday to Amy Goodman Democracy Now A THOUGHT FOR TODAY: Protesting is an act of love. It is born of a deeply held conviction that the world can be a better, kinder place. Saying "no" to injustice is the ultimate declaration of hope. -Amy Goodman, investigative journalist, columnist, and author (b. 13 Apr 1957) #democracynow
