UK Palantir CEO throwing his toys out of the box in a very unbecoming way here. There is no compulsion for any public body to be a Palantir customer, and the fact that he presumes there is seems very telling www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

This post inspired by how unbelievably irritating the little AI box is at the bottom of Google docs, like someone leaning in your ear while you're writing and shouting: DO YOU WANT SOME HELP WITH THAT

Amazing to think I was once interested about what new phones and laptops were coming out. Now, every new development is an intrusive and unnecessary addition of AI, in a form that gets in my way rather than helps me, and which already looks horribly outdated.

Guess which defender has created the most big chances in the Premier League this season despite playing less than half of all possible minutes? 10 points if you said Maxim De Cuyper. Yet another underrated Brighton player, say @ffscoutfpl.bsky.social #BHAFC Read: wearebrighton.com/albionfeatur...

Epstein victims: "Apparently we should have stormed the Capitol and beat up police officers."

This is why Vox Pops are an absolute menace. Most people simply don't understand the true picture and yet their opinions continue to feed the narrative.

The right wing turns anger at being unable to access housing, healthcare and other public goods against immigrants. If you understand this you will know that just decreasing net migration alone won’t solve the far right nationalism problem.

Surfers Against Sewage are about to meet with the government to discuss the sewage pollution scandal. Sign the petition to show just how many of us demand change. Over 270k have signed - now let's get this to a number Starmer can't ignore. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

So there is no true investigative journalism anymore. Just tech bros propaganda.

Trump: "We lost 13 people. In other wars, you lost hundreds of thousands of people. I get a kick when I look at somebody on television and they say, 'he's lost 13 people.'" Trump's utter disregard for the value of human life is a disgrace for any person, let alone a president of the US.

Pay a fortune to attend matches, but instead end up as a foreigner in ICE detention without trial. Or stay at home for nothing and watch them on TV. That's a pretty simple choice. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

As a teacher of English, I can definitively state that yes, this is exactly what happened. Particularly, the curse words. ◡̈

When assembling your dog, please make sure that you follow the instructions carefully.

"Labour should drop, or at least radically narrow, the proposal to extend the standard route to settlement from five to 10, 15 or even 20 years. A country that wants migrants to contribute should not keep them in prolonged insecurity." So much sense in this article; so little from government.

Labour lost almost four times as many voters to the Greens as they did to Reform UK in the local elections, according to new YouGov polling

Any chance he could be PM?

London mayor Sadiq Khan blocks £50m Met police deal with Palantir

A lot of our discourse seems to assume that 1) these wrong beliefs somehow arise naturally and 2) politicians have a duty to behave as if these wrong beliefs are true. It saves asking questions about old and new media, or doing anything brave, but it’s rotting our society and economy.

Latest data due tomorrow but your regular reminder: net migration is *plunging* without these plans being enacted.

Channel 4 News's Clare Fallon tracks down Nigel Farage who was absent from Parliament today avoiding questions about the £5m donation She asks him about it He jumps into his car and drives off

NEW | This was very grim. GIRLS IN AFGHANISTAN ARE BEING SOLD; WHY DID THE BBC FOCUS ON THE PAIN OF THE FATHERS DOING THE SELLING? In news, framing can be everything. A BBC report showed the grotesque results of moral relativism. brokenbottleboy.substack.com/p/girls-in-a...

Trump’s DOJ promises that Trump’s IRS will no longer investigate Trump and his companies over unpaid taxes

Fuck this. #fuck

Utterly the wrong call. Weak. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

And #r4today now has an apoplectic Martin Lewis rightly saying the govt is moving years slower than promised on regulation of big tech scammers. This sclerosis is what leads to populism when people no longer trust the system. (And the populists are bought by the scammers)

Got to be honest, loosening sanctions on Russia before we’ve even tried any basic demand-side measures is not filling me with pride or joy

Never forget, Cameron's Tories brought Brexit because Farage's UKIP was taking a bite out of Tory polling. Without a care, Cameron & Cabinet bet the nation for Tory Party benefit; to the absolute disastrous detriment of the nation.

Right. Goodbye Google.

When did INSIDER TRADING become legal? It used to be a Federal crime with up to 25 years in prison. Mike Johnson said he needs to trade on inside information to pay his bills, like every other person in Congress. Law breaking Speaker of the House, third in line for the Presidency. CREEPY.

Pompous arse punctured. Very funny.

"Dear employee, watch this video. A transcript is provided." Me: *ignores video, skims transcript*

I am once again begging, praying, weeping for lists of written instructions rather than videos. I do not want to watch your two minute video in the hope of catching the two seconds where you whizz past what goddamn menu the thing is under. Write. It. Down.

Agree. The "island of strangers" phrase was an arguable (and banal) point very badly phrased The "incalculable damage" (of recent immigration) line was inexcusable.

For Farage, Brexit “is a reminder of how mangled his judgement is. For decades he told us Brexit would solve our problems. In fact, it impoverished us further. Labour would do well to call his bluff” The media should too. Come on, Nigel, let’s talk about Brexit. liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/442...
