A bit late, boys.

"I didn’t realize, in the hours before his name was released to the public, that the man millions of people had seen lying facedown on the pavement from multiple angles of eyewitness video was my childhood best friend." Read more from @kristenradtke.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/policy/86856...

First draft of my reply to two exam complaints is done...each one clocking in at around 2,000 words thus technically making them as long as the exam itself. And this is just the first draft...

Muito bem o TC. A argumentação da CML não tem ponta por onde se lhe pegue e isto não foi mais do que um expediente dilatório.

If you're interested in the African perspective on Africa, follow @thecontinent.org and subscribe to their issues (also possible via Signal). Clearly a recommendation.

When Argentina's military regime was murdering and kidnapping its citizens, it also hosted the World Cup Germany's skipper Berti Vogts said: "Argentina is a country where order prevails. I haven't seen a single political prisoner"

"The distance between what is said and what is known to be true has become an abyss. Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous. The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil."

By writing an history of revolutions on Andor Tony Gilroy ended up being more than prescient. The Ghorman Plaza massacre and Mon Mothma's speech keep popping into my mind whether I like it or not.

Chicago 1968, Minnesota 2026.

In Suarez we trust!

Something something well armed militia, right?

@aptshadow.bsky.social Forgot to show you the a well stock sci-fi shelf at the new Swansea central library.

This is one of the strangest and most screwed-up stories I’ve worked on. www.londoncentric.media/p/tiktok-lon...

Finally - finally! - he realises that the best option is to put distance between Labour and Reform instead of cargo culting their positions.

Uma tontice pegada.

Nigel Farage attended Davos on a pass sponsored by the family office of Iranian billionaire Sasan Ghandehari, which told the World Economic Forum that the Reform UK leader had advised the company since 2018. ft.trib.al/V138xDu

Ah, yes another formal exam complaint from a student. At least this one is longer than two sentences. In fact, it’s almost as long as the exam itself.

Surprising no one.

“Ai a direita democrática!”

My best friend just casually dropped in conversation a couple of weeks ago he stole Arctic Monkey’s pizza from their dressing room his band opened for them in 2003 or so.

Temple of Doom has the best start of any of the three* Indiana Jones movies, and that’s a hill I will die on. *there’s only three. The 2008 nuclear fridge and James Mangold AI slop are little more than fanfic.

The new F1 Ferrari is...how shall I put it? Ugly.

CZ with his FUD schtick in Davos, what a vibe, incredible scenes

Vou so deixar isto aqui.

Had no idea @hoodedhorse.bsky.social CEO was a lawyer, but his approach to contracts checks out. Need to pass the info to some of my CBS colleagues doing relational contracting.

@jonasnuts.bsky.social Viste isto?

This is brutal.

It’s insane that Apple would do this by default 🤦‍♂️

@euroconcern.bsky.social Quanto é que achas que isto rende no mercado hoje em dia?

I doubt most UK Labour MPs in England are aware of how there’s so little actual cooperation or coordination between Welsh and UK Labour Governments.

Well.

ArTorr has done it again:

Al Gore loudly booing a US Commerce Secretary at a bankers’ forum should be a Futurama joke instead of real life.

The end of an era. Loved the screensaver back in the Windows 98/ME/2000 years.

Called it the otherday by saying we should rename Greenland into Iceland to confuse him.

“You need ownership to defend it, you can’t do it on a lease.” Now, that’s news.

He’s just asking questions.

He’s sounding very rough.

The New World asked me to speak to some British trans women about what life has been like for them over the past few years - here's what they had to say, in their own words: www.thenewworld.co.uk/marie-le-con...

The CJEU has ruled on Denmark’s “ghetto” housing law. SARAH GANTY (@sarahganty.bsky.social) shows how the judgment grapples with racialised categories, but ultimately entrenches a two-tier system of protection and obscures the racialisation of poverty. verfassungsblog.de/denmarks-hou...

This very good article by @jimdickinson.bsky.social shows how much has been sacrificed to the god of expansion. Mass expansion of university to those not academically qualified, on courses that should never have been 'degrees', has meant brutal cuts all round. wonkhe.com/blogs/gradua...

This is great - it's about time someone updated the discourse on LLM energy usage to reflect that coding agents use massively more prompts than occasional questions to ChatGPT Simon estimates that a day of coding agent usage comes out close to the energy needed to run a dishwasher

Que noite desportiva fantastica!

Wondering if I should tease my new boss after this result…

Enormes! 29:31! 😭😭😭😭

Tooooonicher! Incrivel!

Muito orgulho nestes rapazes a chegarem ao intervalo a ganhar a Dinamarca.
