Our war against free speech cannot end until we silence this bronze beast!

Being pro-austerity and tough choices when even the Tories have ditched that garbage is a spicy, spicy take.

It's good for Labour though, the worry always was that the LDs would be the lefty remain party but I think they've got a (mistaken) whiff of supplanting the tories as the centre right party.
Hopefully it lowers the amount of labour voters swapping to them and increases the amount of tories swapping to them.

Not unsuprising - she was massively supportive of it at the time, and soley betting on revoking Brexit as the Libdem short-term political rehabilitation.

Absolute loving monster. And the gall of the editor of the guardian texting him about being sorry they wrote about his dead son, when he oversaw the preventable deaths of so many, and used his son as a shield against criticism.

The fall of the cucks has been one of the most satisfying chapters in Politics. I'm looking forwarding to staying up on election night to watch CUKs lose their seats. That includes former members like Chuka.

If I'm able, I'm planning to do what I did at the last election and book the day of the results off (if on a weekday) - either to celebrate, or to mourn.

She was a waste of space who benefited from a CLP with a really strong ground game in 2017.
Her replacement looks likely to be a woman as well. I assume it's a coincidence that the posher parts of the borough returned male candidates, while the poo poo parts returned female candidates.

how DARE you criticise Saint Swinson on her past voting record, past statements and past political positions now she is leader of the party and able to put those down as party positions. That is GROSSLY offensive and frankly exactly what I'd expect from the verminous trots such as yourself. Shame on you. DISGUSTING.

So:

1) Am I being honestly a plank because I just cannot read anything antisemitic in any of this
2) Why is an apparently well renowned professor of holocaust studies being so loving dense on a subject she should be fairly thoughtful about?
3) Do these people understand what the 'appeal to authority' fallacy is?
3a) Are these guys in the replies seriously trying to use the language of 'mansplaining' etc to imply that said professor cannot ever be challenged on anything related to jews, antisemitism, or the holocaust?*
4) WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE APPARENTLY BUYING THIS SHITE

*Bit of a digression, but I know it's not the actual meaning of the term, but I loving hate it so much when people use the original gendered application of the term to imply 'no man can ever challenge the opinions of any woman'. In fact, I think there's a major weakness in the original theory in that it implies good faith from all sides and doesn't take into account political/ideological conflict. If I'm a woman who happens to have a PhD in political science and I'm also an insane ancap, that expertise gives me an extremely easy way of shooting down a lot of criticism via the hijacking of well-intentioned feminist argument.

If you'll forgive a lurker for interjecting - Deborah Lipstadt is perhaps not the most nuanced or thoughtful figure. She publicly humiliated David Irving and there was a hollywood movie made about it, which - let's face it - counts infinitely more than what one publishes. Calling out revisionists and deniers is undoubtedly a good thing - continuing to publish editorials in the New York Times how about pro-Palestinian protesters attacked a Paris Synagogue months after the story was debunked in the French media is less good, and she has also done that. She basically trades in being the public intellectual antisemtism cop, and, despite being more or less a right-wing Zionist type, passes herself off as "balanced" to the extent that she might call out the most egregious abuses on the Israeli and American right by telling them not to say the quiet part out loud. But again, they made a movie about her, and she has a PhD, so of course she gets to be the last word on what is and what isn't antisemitism.

There's an old joke about a genie and a bridge

Genie: *appears in front of Boris Johnson*

Genie: Greetings! You get one wish.

Johnson: Oh! Ah, so... yes, how about a bridge between Scotland and Northern Ireland? That would be very good. Can you build one for me please?

Genie: Well, that's not really possible to be honest. I mean, think about how tall the supports would have to be to reach the bottom? Nah mate, make another wish.

Johnson: Alright. Can I get a successful Brexit?

Genie: How many lanes you want on that bridge?

It is an art project, but it's not random according to their blurb at the bottom - the AI is trained on the ImageNet photos and categories for "Person", and what it returns is the category the AI assigns to a given image based on that training. The project is presumably to publicly and visibly demonstrate the errors that can arise due to a combination of small data sets for each category, biases in the data set, and how visual appearance doesn't map perfectly to category, making the point that we can't just assume machine learning systems are always correct.
