Seriously no. Also “cadaver fat” sounds like an insult somebody might throw at me.

Good

"They are designed to give you all-day help with Gemini that's spoken into your ear privately rather than shown on a display," Is basically “Simon, you’re about to walk into a lamp post. Again.” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It was kind of Robert Jenrick to set me up for an obvious joke at his expense.

What we need is not less war, but no war at all. We need an end to the killing, and an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement that will let us live in real safety and independence.

A good bit of context

Looks like the WH wants to show itself blowing up somewhere in Ukraine/Russia, and also Ireland. Riverdance was bad but not that bad.

Immigration make Britain brilliant

I hope this isn’t true. There are times when it’s more important to put country before party. This is one of them. Burnham’s longstanding commitment to a fairer voting system could transform our democracy & counter the dire threat of a Reform UK government elected on a minority of the vote

The existence of Israel as a state is very important to me, given events of the last 90years. Jews were displaced from all over Europe and the Middle East. But of course Palestinians suffered too. And human suffering is equal no matter who it happens to. An important thread here.

A must-read

🎯 absolutely correct

I couldn’t agree more. I’ve been reading a lot of criticism of try BoD today (well it’s always there), and much of that really is cover for disliking Jews. The BoD doing something as transparently stupid as this pours fuel on the fire.

My youth.

For years, Edith Eger kept quiet, refusing to speak about the atrocities she faced and saw in Auschwitz. But by the time she was in her early 50s working as a clinical psychologist, she knew she had to heal herself first to truly help her patients.

Thousands of people are expected to attend a 'Standing Strong' rally against antisemitism, which will convene outside Downing Street at 1pm today in London. The Jewish News has published this joint editorial with the Jewish Chronicle ahead of the event. www.jewishnews.co.uk/voice-of-the...

This is a wonderful thing to wake up to today.

Hey gang, another great day to be a UK Jew. I can’t complain about the police or government, although I haven’t and won’t do a deep dive. We have a problem here, and of course this fire is being stoked from abroad. Weak, impressionable men are easily controlled. news.met.police.uk/news/counter...

As usual, @blewishand.bsky.social is on the mark.

My statement on the end of the old InfoWars, and the imminent beginning of a much better one.

I think I have Dementia. Looking at this high quality advert on Politico I only see numbers. I’m done for. Seriously, my Mum recently passed away from this tragic disease. These predatory ads really get my goat.

This is pretty sickening. www.timesofisrael.com/bondi-benefi...

Fund basic research is exactly on point.

I’d love to see these two wonderful men speak here in the UK.

This Palantir thing is really weird and absolutely something to worry about. The people who write this stuff have direct control over things that impact all of us. That said there are some grains of truth buried in amongst the arrogant nonsense. Those grains are debased by proximity.

A wren in the Temperate House, Kew Gardens.

This, about the synagogue petrol bombing in North London is perfect written. Neither a word nor a sentiment is out of place.

A strong thread. Most of us throw opinions around without informing ourselves. Unlike me, Helene doesn’t do that. A very well informed note on the need for 🇬🇧 to get serious on defence.

UK economy could gain £30bn a year from higher defence spending

Am I the only person who thinks that the use of language in recent Trump posts has changed? Thinking that he might no longer be running the account, even if he didn’t used to do the typing.

A lot of people would take a lot of humiliation if they stood a material chance of being POTUS within a couple of years.

Post of the day 👏👏👏

Gorgeous. I thought to myself "How lucky that the Moon is behind the camera lighting the Earth". Stupid, stupid, stupid. Artemis is going from Earth to the Moon, so if the camera's pointing at one, the other is behind them.

This is a really interesting thing about using AI. It reduces the toil, but toil teaches us what to do. Our challenge is to learn how to learn, when it seems superficially that we no longer need learned knowledge.

Thread of the day 👏👏👏 @rikefranke.bsky.social remembers to keep Jesus at the forefront of her mind at this time of year.

It’s important to call this new Israeli law exactly what it is: a Racist Fucking Outrage. Whether or not someone gets the death penalty should not depend on whether that defendant is Palestinian. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Let RIP 🪦

Reported by @javierblas.bsky.social TL;DR this looks to me like major financial institutions hedging against economic meltdown. Not predicting that it will happen, just hedging against its potential, leading them to drop a load of $$$ on expensive options as insurance. 🧵1

@javierblas.bsky.social could you post here as well as on X for those of us who left that place? I'd really like to read your commentary directly.

What a photo. She would be perhaps 95 by now. I wonder how her life panned out.

Annoyingly #GitHub are about to start training on your CoPilot interactions from April 24. This is really bad for commercial software development. Go and turn it off.

I was an investment banker in 2007, among other things hedging (interest rate and foreign exchange “swaps”) on residential mortgage securitisation. This included bringing Fannie and Freddie deals to European markets from time to time. Long story short, this isn’t ad dumb as it looks. It’s dumber.

Finally this stuff is getting aired widely. Even on BBC News today. The front running of Trump’s missives seems to have been petty blatant for ages.

The evidence is overwhelming: Brexit has been a disaster for London and the UK. Rejoining the EU is now clearly in our national interest. The option to rejoin should be on the ballot at the next General Election. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I want to thank everybody, Jewish and Non-Jewish, who has donated to Hatzola today. Today has felt very grim, for obvious reasons, and this to me is a reminder of the many wonderful people that are out there too. www.jewishnews.co.uk/more-than-ha...
