There you have it. The direction of travel. A police state.

And this is not just Reform. Just a few week back this man was a senior Conservative MP.

Twitter has become a pure propaganda distribution site. Who else’s account have they put this in?

Take back control of our borders. Shut the whole thing off at the edge.

Spurs have built a great stadium but they still have the worst camera positions in the entire league. Looks more like FIFA than live football.

I moved to BlueSky to get away from the non stop posting from a few radicalised accounts blanket posting about their obsession. For a while it was good. But sadly the Archers people now seem to have migrated here.

“What that will leave is a mostly but not entirely culturally coherent group of people.”

Sounds awfully like ethnic cleansing.

Sunday Times interview Tory "rising star" Katie Lam

She is clear she wants lots of legal migrants to be told to "go home" so as "to leave a mostly but not entirely culturally coherent group of people"

(The interviewer suggests she is scrapping ILR or stripping people of it)

For two teammates whose golden rule is “don’t crash into each other” Norris and Piastri spend an awful lot of time crashing in to each other.

Maybe they’re not actually that good at this driving lark.

2 men in the woods see a bear

One tightens the laces on his shoes.

The other man says, "Are you crazy? You can't outrun it!"

The 1st guy replies, "I don't need to outrun the bear. I just need to outrun you."

The AI doesn’t have to be the best tutor. Just has to be better than what they have now.

Up next, as he continues his celebration of English life in the eighties, Robert Jenrick remembers how police and miners frolicked together in fields near Orgreave, celebrating the summer solstice.

As an example Meta will spend less than $100bn on AI this year (a lot of that in physical infrastructure that can have other uses in the future). This compares to the market valuation of Meta which is about 20 times that.

There are some bubbly aspects to it, and for sure some investors are going to lose money.

But….

Most of the companies involved (and those providing the investment) I are already unbelievably large, backed by real asset value so they can withstand a knock or two.

Doesn’t seem to prevent the blood testing department at my local hospital putting everyone’s name up. And if it was considered there would be such issues then everyone could be allocated a number on arrival.

About 12k people take A-Level English Language every year so I don’t even know what this means for the rest of us. They’re gonna need some bigger planes.
