The Express is furious about this because the moment you show those who repeat anti-immigration rhetoric the real human stories their narrative collapses.
The “immigrants” are people. Our friends, colleagues and family.
And it’s this nation of neighbours that is what makes Britain great.

Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

I watch a lot of the NRL. Its faster and more skilful. The Aussies should always win due to the competitiveness of their game but I would have hoped that we would have caught them a bit cold and at least made a game of it. Sadly not.

Great to get 3 points #lufc, but the best things from today for me are:
1. We have a centre forward who can score "centre forward" type goals
2. We have a person who can hit the goal instead of the stand from outside the box
Reasons to be cheerful!
