Oh dear! My Twitter handle was a pun on my surname and the art of landing a plane safely in a strong crosswind by deliberately crossing aileron and rudder. Recent events in AI culture land (Xrisk) and now xTwitter, have blown that interpretation severely off course. Problem!

We've written to @Uber's UK General Manager Andrew Brem asking what measures are being taken to protect drivers that are being targeted by far right rioters. Uber must suspend services in unsafe areas and compensate drivers for damaged vehicles and time taken off work.

#BBCBreakfast using the term "anti immigration demonstrations" Are Ukrainians being attacked? Are white Aussies working in bars being targeted? Or is it black & brown people, regardless of where they were born? & if its the latter is there a better word that can describe that?

This should be our Dunblane moment. Only with social media not guns. @elonmusk is a feckless billionaire whose algorithms pose an imminent threat to life. He won’t act. So it’s critical that we now do. theguardian.com/media/article/…
