The Tony Blair Institute is a "not for profit" funded by the Saudi Govt. and Larry Ellison among others. No wonder he backs fossil fuel and big tech. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Blair_Institute_for_Global_Change#Funding

One of my morning rituals is the Miriam-Webster crossword with my coffee. Been doing it for years. In the past month, a couple of clues/solutions have contained spelling mistakes. Smells like #AI
"We don't want Brussels to write our laws we want OpenAI to do it. Let Sam Altman do it, he seems normal." The UK Government’s AI Obsession is a Big Risk #TechWontSaveUs #AI #Brexit #UK
The word "plunged" needs to be expunged from headlines and news stories. The UK was not "plunged" into anything by Labour/Starmer, it had already been well and truly "plunged" into a big bucket of shit by the Tories and more recently it has been "plunged" into a vast lake of shit by the USA. #Starmer #Labour #UKPolitics
"One seat away from a Labour loss in Lambeth" apparently, Greens on 24 seats and expecting 28 according to someone or other. More as it comes in. Exciting! #London #LocalElections #Lambeth
What I did today: sent an email to my MP explaining why the UK needs to ditch Microsoft in schools, listened to an excellent podcast about Mandelson by Mark Steel and then The Rest Is History on the subject of wine, read a lot of awful headlines about current affairs, potted some salad leaves on the windowsill and poured a glass of beer. #BankHoliday #Monday #Leisure

Some very upset parents came in to our Repair Cafe with their daughter's laptop that wouldn't start Windows. It looked like the result of one of the recent Windows 11 "updates". It is desperately needed for GCSE study and homework. I wonder how many other students are being affected by the bloody awful Microsoft experience right now. #Microsoft #Windows #RepairCafe #repair

How to create a digital wardrobe. What the fuck is a digital wardrobe. Why are you emailing me about a digital wardrobe. Why is my brain even reading this crap.
Reform UK's failed "fuel-tax protest" speaks volumes about their organisational skills. They seriously expected hundreds of people to drive tractors to Westminster during a fuel crisis. The words "pissup" and "brewery" spring to mind. #hormuz

Does anyone find the new #Firefox features useful? They looked interesting so I enabled them. The "Add note" thing is just an annoying pop-up and I can't think of an instance where I need a split browser window. Are there any good use cases?

@dymaxion One of my pet hates!! And women speakers do it too! Remember kids, replace the words "my mother", "my mom" etc. in your talk with "my boss", "my CEO" etc..
