Rep. @aoc.bsky.social : “To see what Patriots owner Robert Kraft did to line up all the stadiums to censor speech in that one specific way… this isn’t just about one artist.”

#Nvidia boss Jensen Huang has said, "We don't need new [AI] laws or regulations". #OpenAI boss Sam Altman has said AI companies are capable of regulating themselves. Neither can be trusted to do the right thing, so their words mean nothing.

If you haven't figured it out by now, the stock market isn't the real economy. It's the rich robber barron economy. The higher it goes, the worse off normal people do.

The people of Piddington might do well to remember that an army base* once stood on the proposed site. The point about groups of men roaming the streets is therefore moot. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026... * Different base, but the principle stands.

The people of Piddington have spoken. I say, grant them independence. Border controls. Visas to cross into the UK. Tariffs on goods. No GBP. No NHS. No benefits or pensions. Let us know when your little lilywhite enclave has gone all Mad Max and you started eating each other. BUH-BYE!

Lead story on the #BBC. Never mind the Russians trying to blow up a train full of officials in Ukraine, or a fatal fire in East London. Further down, we get a TikTok influencer promoting wellness nonsense.

I was frankly shocked to learn that Ben Delo, Farage's latest crypto billionaire donor/policy dictator, is a convicted criminal. The BBC article mentions it way down, of course. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ben Delo's donation, the biggest single sum ever given to a political party in the UK, comes amid scrutiny of Reform's finances.

The Israeli government will limit Britain’s participation in getting aid to Gaza in retaliation for sanctions. This move only goes to strengthen Miliband’s point: genocide and ethnic cleansing are weapons of choice for Israel.

I wish Prince George all the best at Eton. Fagging, bullying, persecuting the poor, crippling emotional issues (like his relatives before him), and abject misery.
