The Americans were right about air conditioners.

The “Beats off” Chronicles day thirteen: And just think, there was a brief period in 2010 when we thought Nick Clegg was the future.

Yet there you are, outside.

🚨NEW POST BY ME🚨 Greater Manchester’s growth success is real, but didn't happened by accident. The country should be studying it closely Plus: - Why a city's reputation matters so much - How much credit can Burnham take? (not much) - What does this tell us about a future PM Burnham? (not much)

BBC News leading with a football story and it not being about Arsenal is typical liberal bias.

The strategic genius of Arteta was recognising that bottling was not a solvable problem, so simply not have Arsenal play in the decider.

Premier league fans hoping city pull this back, ask yourself which is better: ‘to die supporting Bournemouth or to live as a monster?’

I said at the time that Jeeves was too big to fail.

I’m confident that if Arsenal can build on this momentum by winning their next game then the league will eventually be theirs.

At the danger of sounding like Andrew Tate, this is dating kryptonite for anybody that isn’t innately an asshole.

A massively undervalued aspect of AI is how it can act as a translator for autistic people.

"Heat pumps just shift gas burning to the power station." Wrong. Even if 100% of electricity came from gas, a heat pump at SCOP 3.8 uses 51% less gas than a boiler. At a terrible SCOP 2.5, still 25% less. David MacKay made this point in 2008. The maths hasn't changed.

Beware the unadjusted P/E ratio. Yields are high so this is inly fair price if you think inflation (and therefore nominal revenue growth) will persist.

Blew the whistle on the CIA’s torture program and understands grammar. Give this man a pardon.

So boring! Fun ways I can think of: 1) PM from the Lords 2) PM from outside Parliament 3) Act of Parliament creating a new constituency where only Burnham is allowed to stand. 4) Act of Parliament that, for the purposes of the constitution, Andy Burnham and Keir Starmer swap identities.

Iran sending out this same request to defend against Israel and the US would make more sense.

Browning Bluesky with bbc news on. Every time I look up it’s one more MP

That’s AS stats 1, for the millennial brits out there.

This is the most bluesky shit I've seen all day, but it's early I guess.

Labour MP’s will say “i’m going to put myself forward to run against the prime minister”, and then not put themselves forward to run against the prime minister.

Obvious foul

Thank god for that

The best thing about Bluesky is that sick depraved weirdos block you before you ever interact with them. I’d head back to twitter if I had to deal with any vegans on here.

Cost is all that matters. exhibit: 7935 Nuclear is very expensive. Renewables are very cheap. Personal politics evaporate when your electricity bill arrives at the end of the month.

This is key. We're in a learning by doing environment where the payoff for learning is larger than it ever has been. The first question you need to ask for *every* new task is 'could AI help with this?'. If the answer is yes, somebody else will be eating your lunch tomorrow.

I liked him in the black eyed peas but I don’t think this rebranding will help crack the education market.

Say what you will about Stancil (I find him obnoxious while making mostly good points). The man does god’s work by luring the worst people in the planet into his replies so you can block them. So efficient that I’m gonna need Claude to automate the blocking.

English sport has been waiting over 20 years for this, but I think we’ve reached the moment. Incredible that Shaun Murphy hasn’t won for so long,

OPEC just split into two, partially because I think they see the writing on the wall and want to maximize profit while they still can/will defect on their internal cooperation. But that's not a climate change problem in itself, it's an OPEC problem.

Never really any doubt since the first goal that Arsenal would open up a big lead by half time.

Arsenal scoring early gives us far too much time to blow the lead.

Seems like an extreme method of leaving early, but he is seriously unfunny.
