I don't want to share the road with either drunks or self-driving cars.

It’s very funny to me that the dominant Twentieth Century conception of AI was a slightly awkward nerd with an inhuman mastery of facts and logic, when what we actually got is smooth-talking bullshit artists who can’t do eighth-grade math.

Excuse me if I disbelieve UK Tory government claims that obstructing Scottish gender recognition reform is about protecting women's rights, when they plan on ramming through ripping up EU laws which give us rights to equal pay, maternity protection etc. Not to mention clean rivers and beaches and thousands of other regulations which the government can't even list.

@francis Indeed; both are in the pockets of higher beings i.e. big corporations, their owners, and CEOs.

We're here! Your favourite Liverpool Makerspace is now on Mastodon.

We have been operating in Liverpool since 2011 providing a community-driven space to make things, whether that's digital or actual.

We offer a combination of coworking office and workshop, where anyone can use our high speed internet, laser cutters, 3D printers, and other equipment, or simply sit at a comfortable desk with a laptop and a cup of tea or coffee.

No matter how much we tweet, the majority of people living in the UK will not have heard about Nadim Zahawi, one time Chancellor of the Exchequer, not paying taxes that he should have. The man was in charge of the HMRC. What the hell are UK tv channels doing?

As a cis het woman, the way a trans person gets a Gender Recognition Certificate has no impact on my daily life or rights whatsoever. The rights conferred by a GRC have no impact on my daily life or rights. Trans people have never limited or threatened my daily life, rights or safety. Just one person's experience/opinion? Sure. That's the same as every gender critical argument. Anecdata is not evidence. Evidence shows Self ID does not cause problems for society and makes trans lives easier.
