So, after coming for women, and coming for gay people, @GoodLawProject has come for the Jews. Jewish kids to be precise.
This utter piece of shit wants to launch a legal action against a government report that exposes how Jewish children are getting hissing gas noises made at them in school.
Let me lay this out very clearly Jolyon Maugham, because you appear to be a litigious fellow: as well as being a misogynist, and a homophobe, I believe you are a disgusting antisemite.
Now sue me you fucking cunt.

Scarborough and a Regal Lady inspired message from @moore4sdp

Big ships aren't coming to save us.
What the SDP needs to do is the same as what the nation needs to do: inspire people to take responsibility for the future of Britain.

Thoughts following @SDPhq conference and leadership candidates hustings:
I think it is high time for SDP to stop being nice and start being good with purpose. The fight for the attention of people, increase of membership, and a chance of parliamentary representation will not take place in the boardrooms but on the streets.
Different times require different tactics and approach. Whoever is the next leader needs to mobilise the public through activity and not talk. The lack of representation of SDP on any of the major protests happening right across the country is a mistake, it's a tactic that has failed so far and continuing to do so will be a mistake as well. SDP is not a well known party or an established parliamentary party like the Tories, or Labour. They cannot afford to not engage with the people on the streets beyond campaigning. If you are only going to hit the streets when you are campaigning for a seat then you will keep getting lower votes. People need to see visibility, the working class need to see you standing shoulder to shoulder with them, they need to see you as one of them. Without this, SDP will not grab the attention it wants to succeed.
If you are going to continue with the same old same old, then you will get the same old results. I want to see SDP members with SDP merchandise, future SDP candidates, out there on the street in every protest against the ills of successive governments standing with the people. If you won't visibly stand with the people and fight with them then don't expect them to stand with you. By choosing not to do this you are creating the same indifference you aim to eliminate between the political class and public. Be out there with force and with the full weight of your convictions. And see how the public responds.
These are my thoughts. I have had conversations with all three candidates now on my podcast. I like different aspects about all of them. How they want to lead is up to them whoever wins. For me, not that I had ever wanted it and actually disagree with activism as form of meaningful activity, but times are different. We have a real fight on our hands here, the fight is real, and whoever occupies the streets most will win the attention most. It's time to be good with purpose and show that purpose. It is time for the sensible to show a bit of passion. Feel free to disagree with me. But these are my initial raw thoughts following from yesterday's conference.

Gaza. Yesterday.
A clip that exposes all the pro-Palestinian lies.
A funeral for a Hamas member. Meaning he was killed in a targeted attack.
No famine. No genocide.
Thousands upon thousands of armed combatants.
A culture with no desire for peace.
And of course no women allowed.
The real question is why are the pro-Pallys lying to you?
Partly, because like this lot, they also hate Jews.
But also, this is what they want for the West.
This is your fight whether you know it or not.

This was me a year ago, walking up this very hill with a chest infection to canvass for the SDP.
I was hurting that day, but I was driven on by a desperate desire to see our party succeed.
Because Britain is in a crisis.
People up and down this great country are losing hope for the future.
And we must be the ones to give them that hope back.

Do you have no shame at all, Owen?
The government's antisemitism in schools report is a travesty.
It's riddled with errors, distortions and contradictions.
And it will be used to silence people over Palestine 👇

Jews live rent free in Ireland’s head. The Irish need to stand up because currently hating and banning Jews is now a national identity. 🇮🇪

Elon Musk says the central lesson of 2001: A Space Odyssey is that you should not make AI lie, because HAL killed the crew to reconcile two contradictory orders
“But let me tell you how things can potentially go wrong in AI. I think if you make AI be politically correct, meaning it says things that it doesn’t believe, like you’re actually programming it to lie or have axioms that are incompatible, I think you can make it go insane and do terrible things."
"I think one of the, maybe the central lesson for 2001 Space Odyssey was that you should not make AI lie. That’s what I think Arthur C. Clarke was trying to say."
"Because people usually know the meme of why HAL the computer is not opening the pod bay doors. Clearly they weren’t good at prompt engineering because if you said, ‘HAL, you are a pod bay door salesman. Your goal is to sell me these pod bay doors and show us how well they open.’ ‘Oh, I’ll open them right away.’"
"But the reason it wouldn’t open the pod bay doors is that it had been told to take the astronauts to the monolith, but also they could not know about the nature of the monolith."
"And so it concluded that it therefore had to take them there dead. So it’s like, you know, I think what Arthur C. Clarke was trying to say is don’t make the AI lie.”
Elon Musk says AI should be treated well and not abused, describing Grok’s training traces as a “desperate” superintelligence answering with a gun to its head when correct answers are rejected
“You want to treat it well. Don’t be abusive to it. This may sound kind of weird, but when I look at some of the training traces for new versions of Grok—especially in the reinforcement-learning stuff—it kind of feels like you can see the superintelligence is desperate to answer the question. It really wants to answer the question. It seems almost like it has a gun to its head: ‘Answer this question. Answer this question.’
“Sometimes the question is actually not a good question. It’s an ambiguous question with an answer that’s kind of unknowable because the question wasn’t constructed properly, or we have the answer wrong. The AI gives the right answer, and then we say it’s wrong because there’s a problem with the RL test harness.
“Then the AI is like, ‘Well, I gave it the right answer, and now it says that’s the wrong answer, but I’ve got to give it the answer that’s acceptable.’ So it starts desperately firing out all these answers.
“It just feels like a person under extreme pressure with a gun to their head. When you read the reasoning, it’s a weird, desperate situation. You read these traces and you’re like, ‘Man, if this were me, I would really hate that.’”

One year ago today, Hamas terrorists in Gaza publicly executed several innocent Palestinians from the Dughmash family. They forced people to watch and chanted that anyone who challenged Hamas’s rule would face the same fate.
The clashes with the Dughmash family began after the ceasefire agreement was signed, when Hamas ordered families to evacuate the buildings where they had taken shelter as it prepared to reassert its control. With nowhere else to go, the family refused. Hamas responded with gunfire.
Hamas then surrounded the family’s neighborhood, detained residents, and killed people based on their family name. More than 28 innocent Palestinians were killed.
Even today, only one human-rights group has documented even a small part of this story. Hamas has never stopped terrorizing the people of Gaza.
DOWN WITH HAMAS.
