- One of the most spectacular political harakiri in the recent history of established democracies.

View full threadC'mon, you're a communist who won't ever vote for them unless they, I don't know, nuke Israel, because that's what left-wing people want. The real gain is to be made with rural Essex people who are angry that every plumber these days is called Władysław or Dragos. (there might be some sarcasm here)
- Tak jest! 😂
- Translation: This is moral bankruptcy in red spray can. Dismissing #Stolpersteine as “propaganda”? Then you are no longer concerned with criticizing Israel. Then you have definitively lost the path of civilization that you claim to be fighting for. #Amsterdam #antisemitism
- Dit is het morele failliet in rode spuitbus. Stolpersteine wegzetten als “propaganda”? Dan ben je niet meer bezig met kritiek op Israël. Dan ben je het pad van de beschaving waar je zegt voor te strijden, definitief kwijt. #Amsterdam #Stolpersteine #antisemitisme
- H...hey Labour, maybe you could try, ummm, banning Pride marches and LGBT flags? Or maybe kicking out EU immigrants? Or perhaps slashing taxes for big businesses? That'll turn things around, trust me.
- Don’t encourage them…
- Well, Francis, that's interesting because penicillin was first operationalised for use in medicine by a team of biochemists at Cambridge made up mostly of immigrants, including several German-Jewish refugees who had fled to Britain during the 1930s...

- If the authors don’t wear glasses, how can they be clever? 🤷🏻♂️
- The line missing appears to be 'Professor Carpenter, the most eminent and systematic living scholar of Magna Carta' (because he is), who has probably known about it for decades... Anyway, that probably explains why a colleague ran into him at the Lowther estate archive the other year.
- There’s a (journalist’s) book in my field which claims to tell a “previously unknown story”; inspired (it turns out) by an artefact the author encountered in a museum. The press tropes around historical research are really really tiring…
- So “Grok” is “instructed by its creators” to believe that “white genocide” is real? One starts to question how its creators have addressed other contentious issues. Do we want the creators of #AI deciding what constitutes reality like this? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
- It’s also fascinating to see how fast we’ve reached the kind of crisis in #AI that structures “2001: A Space Odyssey”.
- I have to admit, I love SIX LIVES, but it does feel like a bit of an orphan book. There should be, like, two other books that match it in form, but I only have vague notes on one...
