From 1st April, even if the disabled, pensioners, unemployed & low paid, sat in the dark, didn’t turn on the heating and miss 2 meals a day; they still WOULDN’T be able to meet the cost of their bills! That’s reality @RishiSunak. You own this #CostOfLivingCrisis #EnergyCrisis

Even to those of us who saw ICI Hillhouse belching out black smoke in the 1980s are shocked at the revelations that they buried cancer-causing chemicals on their land and then sold it for homes to be built on top of. This is an absolute scandal.
We arranged for people living near a chemical plant in Thornton-Cleveleys, Lancashire, exposed to PFAS from a chemical plant, to have blood tests.
Today, @lara_wildenberg spoke to those trying to process how high PFAS levels, & may affect their health:

This week I stood in solidarity with striking staff at Corpus Christi High School in my ward as they stand up against enforced academisation.
This is an outstanding school, deeply embedded in its community. We are clear - the Diocese must reconsider its plans

The United States has had a military presence in Greenland since the 1950s. Trump wanted to buy Greenland. Greenland said no. Now he’s celebrating a security agreement that leaves Greenland exactly where it was. But MAGAs are too stupid to comprehend this and think it's a win.

This is just wrong.
@UKLabour must do all it can to prevent this, and find funds.
Young people deserve a voice in politics - it’s essential.
Our very democracy depends on the future - and young people ARE OUR future!

A French film explaining what would happen if non whites did what angry white racists want them to do by going back to where they came from. Absolutely sublime. We need this sort of creativity here.

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
