When you ask people in LA why they like driverless cabs, they usually snort and say “it’s only as dangerous and awful as using a human cabbie, and you don’t have to talk”.

Every human cabbie I had was called Pedro or Wong, and it struck me that these things are great if you’re an antisocial racist.

You know the kind. He podcasts from his mum's spare room about the kind of 'female' that would be good enough for him because he doesn't want a gold digger. Problem is, he doesn't have any gold 🤣

In order to attract "quality" immigrants you have to be attractive yourself. This country is acting like a high value male

Very funny that the government thinks highly qualified people who speak English even better than the locals want to live here to be chased down the street by drunks waving flags 🤣

I will bet my bike that close to zero of the British racists that this law is pandering to could pass A-level English.

Migrants will be required to pass A Level standard of English

Migrants will be required to pass tough new English language requirements under a law introduced in Parliament today.

OpenAI’s strategy is very clear, it’s trying to get people - especially young people - so reliant on its products intellectually & emotionally (& now sexually!) that going without them becomes unthinkable. And they need signs of that strategy working to keep the funding flowing in

On Friday I’m going to have a premium newsletter with a generous (2600 word) free intro about the nasty demands of Sam Altman and OpenAI. They need $161 billion in the next six months - it’s the only way for them to complete any of the plans they have agreed to. A truly nonsensical time.

Some changes to immigration rules today, not just increasing English language requirements, mean migrants looking to live and work in UK will have to meet far far higher standards than British nationals, while paying vast sums to be allowed to do so. That isn't a system based on "fairness". 1/

Poor Tommy Robinson. What possible reason could the border police have had for stopping a known criminal who is being investigated by HMRC from taking £13,000 in cash abroad while driving a Bentley that wasn’t his and refusing to answer their questions? It’s an outrage!

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

Polanski is talking nonsense about wealth taxes.
