Any voting irregularities should be investigated. It’s a really important issue

But the idea that 4k+ votes were ‘stolen’ is Trump level nonsense

V worried British media could end up in same place as US, legitimating ‘stolen votes’ claims by parroting BS lines from Farage and Co

Dario Amodei, the CEO of Anthropic, just stood up to the Pentagon and President Trump. His company builds Claude, probably the most powerful Al model in the world right now.
The Pentagon wanted unlimited access to Claude - including for mass surveillance of American citizens and fully autonomous weapons. When Anthropic refused, they gave him a deadline: comply or get blacklisted.
He didn't budge.
"We are patriotic Americans," Amodei told CBS News. "Disagreeing with the government is the most American thing in the world."
Trump responded by banning all federal agencies from using Anthropic's technology. Defense Secretary Hegseth labeled them a 'supply chain risk', a designation previously reserved for foreign adversaries like China and Russia. It's basically a corporate death sentence, because it bans companies from dealing with Anthropic if they also supply to the US military.

And it gets even worse. Within hours, Sam Altman of OpenAl (the company behind ChatGPT) swooped in and signed the deal with the Pentagon instead.
While his competitor was taking a heroic and principled stand, he saw his opportunity.
Here's what makes this story so clarifying: Anthropic said no to autonomous weapons and mass surveillance, and got punished for it. OpenAl said yes, and got rewarded. Amodei drew a line. Sam Altman drew a contract.
What Amodei did was genuinely brave. He's risking billions in contracts, and the very existence of his company. Not because it was good business, but because it was right. Sam Altman once again showed the world how deeply immoral he is.
We need more leaders in tech, and beyond, who are willing to lose something for their principles. And if this story made you rethink which Al company deserves your money: join the international boycott of ChatGPT.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has posted on X

“1 million people living in this country don’t speak any English at all. 4 million people living in this country barely speak passable English”

It’s racked up 2 million views AND IT’S COMPLETELY UNTRUE

The Indisputable Maths of Migration How Demography, Not Dinghies, Will Decide Britain’s Future

Jim Radcliffe pissed me off, so I wrote this about the inconvenient truth of migration.

tl:dr - no, just fucking read it. Some basic mathematics - you know, COUNTING THINGS - might make you reconsider, you stupid twats.

Just a word of thanks to our fantastic media. Despite my racist bullying at school, having a senior colleague imprisoned for being a traitor, breaking the MP’s Code Of Conduct 17 times, my dodgy house purchase and even being in the Epstein Files, nobody is demanding I resign!

Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025.

Meanwhile, thanks to his new Tesla pay package, Elon Musk could stand to make $3 billion more per year than all 1.4 million elementary school teachers in the U.S. combined.

See the problem here?

Nigel Farage racks up £151,000 in donor-funded flights to support Donald Trump Most recently, Farage attended an event at Trump’s Mar A Lago resort celebrating US Military Veterans just months before Trump’s vile slur dismissing the sacrifice of British troops who served in Afgh...

Farage pays for nothing himself. He rakes it in from media, crypto, gold bullion, X… Clacton isn’t worth his time.

He’s a rep for the US christofascist far right and is being paid to bring that shit over here.

It’s all a grift. A pisstake. A very sinister betrayal.
