  6. @glynmoody I find it funny that in order to read the article about AI-caused knowledge collapse I have to consent to some stuff or sign up ... so guess what? I did not read it. The knowledge collapse came from not being able to read stuff any more. #theguardian #grauniad One used to be able to read the paper at coffee and no-one recorded and tracked your reading over your shoulder or waved stuff in your face. Many could read the same issue. Paper is now more important but almost gone for ever.

  11. After subscribing to The Guardian for several years I'm now two-timing with a month's i subscription before I decide which to continue with.

    So far, the i articles seem just as well-written/researched, less verbose, and without The Guardian's obvious "chip on the shoulder" that becomes tedious after a while.

    Shame about the paywall though, especially as "gift links" don't seem to be supported.

  16. "Farage claimed last year to have “bought a house” in his constituency, but the property is actually owned in the name of his partner, meaning he legally avoided higher-rate stamp duty on the purchase of an additional home – given that he already owns other properties."
    #Grauniad #Farage #StampDuty

    Mind you, whether he or either of them has spent days in it, or that constituency, is less than clear.

    "three former MPs" & "opponents of Brexit" . Interesting choice of worders from the #Grauniad. They were MP's at the time and solidly for #RemainEU. Slightly stronger than just #stopbrexit although they did speak for us in the HoC. #remainsteadfast #ForeverEUropean 💖 🇪🇺 😎 ✊

  24. #futureproof #tech #AI #communication #blackswan #media #po;itics The day is coming when we'll be back to quill pen and parchment viz the drop out rate of 'cutting edge' advances. Two examples in my experience. #mobile connectivity = zero. #BBCSounds = zero. No TV since the liars fixed the referendum vote. Papers online, do I trust em anymore. Even the #Grauniad beginning to get a bit whiffy. It is #genocide (& has been for a long time) & #Farage is a #fascist and #refugeesarewelcome.
