Ah yes, NVIDIA "Make Every Day About Earth Day" talks about "AI helping understand wildlife threats, climate concerns, disaster risks & courses of action" whilst taking the opportunity to flog "bespoke AI software" to Big Oil & Gas for "optimizing production" #AIForGood🤮🤬

Nvidia Flogged AI for Brazilian Oil and Gas on Eve of COP30 The tech giant was in Rio de Janeiro hawking AI software to fossil fuel firms just days before crucial climate crisis negotiations in the Amazon. My reporting today @desmog.com www.desmog.com/2025/11/07/n...

NVIDIA’s greenwashing tactics and hidden emissions revealed in new research - Greenpeace International

NVIDIA, the world’s most valuable company by market capitalisation, has been using greenwashing tricks to misleadingly mask its staggering emissions impacts, finds a new analysis.

greenpeace.org

HEY EVERYONE - NEW REPORT!!! NVIDIA is the largest company by market cap on the planet. But it hides key climate data, while claiming AI is going to be a 'net benefit' for climate. We (8 groups) put together the first ever broad critique of NVIDIA's climate record: ketanjoshi.co/2026/09/16/n...

Mr Burnt Ham, decides to ignore billionaire donations. If you ask me Labour, Tories and now Reform are forming a Uniparty owned by billionaires

And this is Burnham's reaction? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

🔴 More than 80% of all the donations ever received by Nigel Farage’s Reform UK have come from just two cryptocurrency billionaires, new Democracy for Sale analysis reveals. “If that isn’t a massive corruption risk I don’t know what is.” democracyforsale.substack.com/p/breaking-8...

BREAKING: 80% of Reform’s funding comes from two crypto billionaires

“If that isn't a massive corruption risk I don't know what is.”

The way British democracy is being bought by crypto billionaires is simply obscene - and a direct result of Labour’s unforgivable inaction

Burnham drops support for political funding cap aimed at curbing mega-donors

PM said he would set bar at £500k, but trade unions say funding reforms could undermine their ability to donate to Labour

Unfortunately, we lost most of our access to European healthcare when we left the EU. Making it very difficult for people with illnesses to travel there without prohibitively expensive insurance. Reason number 999 to #RejoinEU

1/3 Cancer survivors should not be punished for having had cancer. Yet many face travel insurance premiums or are denied cover altogether, even when they’re declared fit to travel by the NHS.

A Pardon (from any source) doesn’t remove guilt. The BBC’s editorial chariness in mentioning Delo’s conviction suggests a misrepresentation by design. (Listen also to Webb’s curious (libel-suit fearing?) ‘clarification’ of what Delo did to break the law - just as the programme ended.)

The BBC’s flagship serious news radio programme should definitely not, IMO, be relying on an independent expert to be the first contributor to report the *facts* about Ben Delo’s background to its audience. This is an inexplicable, strikingly timid lapse, and not excusable, I believe.

#BBCr4today extremely disappointing that as far as I heard it took until 7.39am until polling guru+Prof of politics John Curtice mentioned the conviction+ #Trump’s pardon of #Reform’s £36m donor Ben Delo. No mention in (edited) news report by BBC’s Ben Wright, by Justin Webb or by Jack Fenwick.

Ben Delo — the British billionaire who’s handed £36m to Farage’s Reform UK — pleaded guilty in Feb 2022 to failing to implement anti-money laundering controls on his crypto trading platform BitMEX but was later pardoned by Trump. Presumably he welcomes Farage's plan to turn the UK into a crypto hub.

Crypto billionaire donates record £36m to Reform UK

Ben Delo is giving Nigel Farage’s party the largest donation in the history of British politics, saying he wants to ensure a ‘fair fight’ at the polls

thetimes.com

Reform UK's record-breaking donor was accused of running “in effect a money laundering platform”. Prosecutors accused Delo of being the “leader of a criminal enterprise” who knew that his Bitmex platform had become a “magnet for money laundering and criminal activity”.

Reform UK Is Now a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Corrupt Crypto Industry

As criminal investigations into Reform’s funding continue, much of the British press continues to give a free pass to Nigel Farage’s shady funders

Rare wartime photographs go on display in Edinburgh

Hundreds of long-hidden photographs have gone on display in Edinburgh, revealing life in rural Italy during the Second World War. FERNANDA: LE FOTO RITROVATE - Undiscovered Photos of Italian Rural Life 1930-1950 has just opened at the Italian Institute of Culture on runs until 1 October. Dating from the 1930s to the 1950s, the photographs were discovered by filmmaker Giordano Viozzi after the death of his aunt, Fernanda Millevolte, with the original negatives having spent years in a drawer. The photographer and many of those pictured remain unknown, but the collection offers a rare glimpse into life among contadini - impoverished sharecroppers from southern Le Marche.

“Trump is a bully and a braggart, a self-confessed sexual predator and a purveyor of racial slurs... Most people would not welcome such a man into their home, and the majority of Irish people will not welcome this visit.” Irish Times editorial on Trump in Ireland.

The Irish Times view on Trump’s visit: a less than welcome guest

Most people would not welcome such a man into their home but political leaders must make a different calculation

🔥 Hot welcome for Trump in Ireland 🔥 🫡🇮🇪

Whatever one thinks about a unified Ireland, it's pointless to place any importance on what Trump says. If he were to visit Belfast, he could say the opposite. He blows with the wind. #Trump BBC News - www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cq... Donald Trump says unified Ireland would be a 'great thing' #BBCnews

What the heck is unelected Eric Trump blathering on about on Sky Tv ? Oil and Gas production hasn’t been “shut down in the North Sea” its a new licence that’s the issue, and of course Trumps war is a cause of rising oil prices. Sounds to me like he’s interfering in domestic politics.

Daniel Thomas / Danny Tommo has today marched his private army of blackshorts to Daily Mail HQ to demand a new house for his mum within 48 hrs, after they doorstepped her for a feature on him. Apparently he plans to blockade them + cry at them until they do Bet those lads are glad of the balaclavas

Police launch criminal investigation into Reform UK donations The investigation, which follows a broadcast by Channel 4 News, is being folded into the inquiry that has been under way into other donations.

Investigation that'll take months (if not years) then be put on a high shelf in the back of a cupboard somewhere. Besides, many of their dim supporters won't care. #Reform #Corruption
