I Excel'd the power cons of Google's deal with Elon Musk's fossil-fuelled data centre. Took me ~10 seconds Claude returned a similar answer, but consumed as much energy as **fully discharging** two smartphones, to do it This is why the shift to reliance on LLMs bloats energy consumption so badly

how many cars are on fire

With the full caveat that I have never managed a govt dept, as Wes Streeting knows very well having been health secretary, investment in active travel *pays for itself many times over* in better public health outcomes etc. Cutting investment is often a false economy, as the UK knows to its cost.

Nice thing to see on my way home.

These are the 30 women killed since 2020 in Northern Ireland, all by white men 21 killed in their homes by men they knew. The youngest 20, the oldest 82 21 were mothers, 4 were killed with their children in the home. Two were pregnant Nobody rioted over their murders www.bbc.com/news/article...

Love this as a prevention case study: - Low cost, even revenue raising in the short term - Improves health outcomes and reduces costly hospital admissions Shows political leadership is key: - Politically costly for Khan to implement - Did it despite cost savings landing outside GLA

This is outrageous. When I hire KPMG to validate my priors I expect to receive the wildly overconfident lies of a 23 year old MBA, not those of some stinking robot.

Big, if true.

Justin Webb now stating as fact that in Northern Ireland - and across the U.K. - for years people ‘have been able to come here and get access to services’ that local people can’t Is there any evidence for this? Why is a presenter on the BBC stating this as fact?

I see that the Southampton rioters are once again proving to be the kind of decent, law-abiding, women-defending, pleasant stout yeomen of the shire we should be paying attention to.

no other way to say it, this thing in the uk where every single time a non-white person is in the news being accused of a crime we have full on race riots is very very bad

@clairehanna.bsky.social : "Last week, in a very high profile case, the murder of Natalie McNally, the judge.. talked about a frenzied knife attack, he talked about wounds so bad the cause of death was unable to to be determined. There were no riots over the perpetrator of that brutal crime"

A court in Munich declared that Google is liable for their "AI summaries" and all its hallucinations. This brings "AI" slop in line with all other products: "AI" is basically the only product where a provider can deliver unchecked garbage and put all liability on the consumer.

There haven't been any riots or protests over this stabbing frenzy. Why is that?

This cowardice will destroy us all

This is so depressing. These were not community protests, they were pogroms led by thugs, enabled by reckless racist politicians in NI and London.

They don't put the ethnicity of the rioters in the headlines, do they? But that's actually incredibly relevant

I have to say, listening to the Today programme dedicate an entire (context free) section about whether migrants are more likely to be convicted criminals *the morning after* hundreds of non-migrants of my own ethnicity committed a pogrom is blood boiling.

I’m old enough to not be rose-tinted about the past, but I don’t think I can remember a time when the racists were so open and so unapologetic. And so confident.

I've never heard shaky-voiced angry speeches in the chamber about these murders, let alone demands to shut down cities and international attention.

Simple solution to this - give all women tasers and do it now. Sick of repeating myself x

Can't even run a 22-month stalking campaign any more, because of Woke.

I’m most shocked to discover that Stokes could find a nightclub open past midnight on a Monday

After 14 years in power, the Tories decide that the right time to abolish business rates is when they can't.

Just in case you were wondering how African teams would be "greeted" upon arriving in America.

really hard to be a more dismaying world cup host than Qatar and yet so far the US absolutely smashing it

Over 100. Keep writing to your MPs. Good to see the number of Labour signatories climbing - really good for the government to see dissent on its own backbenches. edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo...

I've been saying I'd do it for years, but finally,

Christian mate, I love you, please retire and look after yourself x

I have questions.

THERE'S NO DEBATE, STOP TRYING TO MAKE DEBATE HAPPEN

X is currently full of posts falsely naming Christi Hill and another officer as having arrested Henry Nowak. One names and pictures the other PC, saying, "Wanted: dead or alive". It gives his address. What more exactly will it take to get UK MPs, ministers and departments off that hellsite?

A reminder of what Nigel Farage said following the murder of Sarah Everard by a serving police officer.

So if you only have to do eight minutes a day of Tai chi walking for you to be unrecognisable in a month, you might as well do ten minutes a day and then you’ll be able to fly or something.

Have already identified outright neo-Nazis at the Southampton rally supposedly about Henry Nowak (his family have been clear they don't want hate & division). Also aware of at least one prominent activist there who has a weapons conviction.

I am once again wondering whether "no, the legitimate concerns racists don't have a point, fuck off, they're racist" might have been a better way of combating the far right.

Utterly disgusting that this killing is getting hijacked and used in this appalling way. These people should be ashamed of themselves - only they don't know what shame is.

When the father of a murdered son makes a public statement saying "we do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension", then I believe it's incumbent on any news outlet reporting on Farage's comments to ensure people know he has chosen to disregard the family's wishes.

Michael Gove has published David Shipley's article proposing Enoch Powell style "remigration", citing the stat that 40% of children born in the UK has at least one "foreign born parent". The actual King, King Charles III, was a baby born with one foreign born parent.

He's quoting Kanye West to score points and stir up trouble over a truly horrible case that resulted in the death of a young man. I hope it all backfires horribly for this poor excuse of a politician.

You can’t just throw the phrase “dignity for trans people” like a magic spell into the end of your diatribe about how trans women aren’t women. It is fundamentally undignifying to tell trans women they aren’t women! This isn’t difficult.

Thinking about why women might not want to use a product that has forced itself into every software interface to confidently shout things that are wrong

Yes. Using a computer now feels like this at all times.

The BBC shouldn’t be making a drama about the murder of Sarah Everard *at all*. The fact a male screenwriter has been commissioned to do it — who won a BAFTA for writing a Moors Murders drama — is the cherry on a shit sundae. Commission more women writers *and* don’t make exploitative shit.
