I've told them in fairly plain terms what I think, and you can too if you go here:

But you have to do it TODAY.
Well apparently, in order to promote the growth of AI that has yet to demonstrate how it can be monetised, costs huge amounts of energy and has little use-case other than to drive down the ability of working people to make money from our... erm.... labour? 🤪
That's nuts I hear you say? Yes that does seem nuts! Why would a Labour government seek to weaken the creative industries that have been one of our biggest exporters?
If you're in the UK and you're a creator that makes stuff which can be copyrighted, TODAY IS THE LAST DAY to make your views felt on the Government's proposals to water-down UK copyright so that AI companies can train models on copyrighted material without explicit permission.

Free Palestine = antisemitism
Nazi salute = just fine
As clear as day that this organisation is undermining the fight against antisemitism
This is a delicate moment. It’s a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety.
It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge.
In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new beginning. Let’s hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead.
Tick, tock. This account is going to be locked soon and (maybe? probably?) deleted soon after. Come find me in the blue place or mastodon, but not Threads 'cause it's an engagement-bait horror-show.

1/5 Trump's victory shows the authoritarian right can win even with rising GDP and supposedly 'good' economic figures. We must do three things if we don't want them to win here.

It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.
While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change.
And they’re right.

Can we now please stop the paternalistic Vibecession talk, as if people don’t understand their own pocket books, their own existential worries and instead try to understand how an anti-fascist economic policy for the working majority can look like?
Not to say issues of misogyny, racism, foreign policy, changing media landscape etc. don't play a part, but most of it can be explained with meat and potatoes materialism. Trump got fewer votes than in 2020, Americans didn't suddenly become fascists - Dems ignored the worst off
Not really back here but re-posting interesting folks on what happened in US election - tldr: if Dems ignore the very real financial pressures on millions of working people (inflation, 25 million losing medicaid) they won't vote for them, no matter how horrendous the opponent is.

Why did voters abandon Kamala Harris? Because they feel trapped – and Trump offered a way out

Perhaps the government - whose big housing plan to solve the housing crisis is “rip up red tape so our friends in construction build many more houses where they’re needed, out of the goodness of their hearts” - will now reintroduce stringent regulatory requirements.

.@BBC insisting on reporting racist rioters as 'protestors' and 'demonstrators' is a gross misrepresentation of the violence impacting communities of colour across the UK. Language matters.
“Protests”. You keep saying “protests” @BBCNews - do you mean white supremacists are on the streets terrorising Muslims? What exactly are they “protesting” against?

"Thames Water bondholders need to take a haircut."
And there my friends is the reality of the situation. Bondholders should not see a penny of the public's money. Not a penny.
