Guardian news article with the headline: "Lib Dems to force vote on creating new customs union with EU." The photo shows Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey speaking passionately in the House of Commons.

My message to Rachel Reeves ahead of the Budget: Don’t just blame the Brexit damage, fix it.

Pieter! The best mentat :) Fantastic.

Mark Kelly: "It was just two months ago that Charlie Kirk was assassination and Trump talked about political violence. And now his instinct is to call for our execution."

Not eating animals is a very robust rule of thumb when it comes to reducing your environmental footprint and the amount of suffering your diet may be producing.

I was starting to get worried :D

From above, some lighters in a box look like a crowd shouting.

Fire!

That could be Trump or Boris Johnson...

I think that school of thought was pretty small though, it implies a care about politics that's beyond most of the Leave types.

Packing! Hopefully some of you have your calendars already. I’m posting batches of 16 per day so I don’t overwhelm my PO.

Limited number available. If you’d like one www.infinitebacon.com

Thank you!

I have mine! Fantastic work :)

You ever just sit down and realize that the rise of 21st century fascism is capital's answer to climate change?

Yeah that's what makes voting for it way worse though. It was known it was a simple majority and it was known that all the Leave vote was based on was thinly veiled racism and jingoism. The economics was always a joke, hence why only fucking Minford ever showed up on the BBC.

The US is extorting Zelenskyy to sign away territory Russia doesn't even hold, as well as Ukraine's ability to defend itself, on the basis of Putin's word he'll honor a peace and Trump's word the US will make him.

Just so we're clear what's happening here.

I feel you're trying to absolve yourself here but you're failing. You still did it, knowing the result could be by a single vote.

BREAKING: Reform UK's former Welsh leader and close Nigel Farage associate, Nathan Gill, sentenced to 10 and a half years in prison for repeatedly taking bribes to spread pro-Russian propaganda

Former Reform UK leader in Wales, Nathan Gill, sentenced to 10 and a half years. Wow.

Nathan Gill; A traitor who was at the very top of Reform UK, aiding and abetting Russian adversaries, has been sentenced today.

Reform UK should be ashamed. Britain deserves better.

I’m particularly angry today with all those people who attacked us for daring to challenge Laura Kuenssberg, implying we were misogynistic and unfair.

No.

She, together with Peston et al, played a key role in Boris Johnson’s ‘success’.

The "Dominic Cummings is a genius" types were worse than Dominic Cummings because they enabled Dominic Cummings.

The "Boris Johnson is a genius" types were worse than Boris Johnson because they enabled Boris Johnson.

Now go away and write that out a thousand times.

I have fond memories of typing in a racing game over a number of days into a rubber keyed spectrum. Man that vertical pipe of zeros felt photorealistic at the time :D Ordered :)

Only just heard of this. Completely bonkers. Also, it sounds brilliant. (Yes, I am old enough to have typed listings into various 8-bit machines. Yes, I still have the mental scars when they didn’t work due to some random typo or other.)

Meanwhile, the so-called “journalists” standing next to them just stood there, meekly holding their mics in subservience to a felon.

What an absolute embarrassment to our profession.

There was a time when my brand of “confrontational reporting” was frowned upon. We need that now more than ever.

Defending pedophiles is easy when your husband was 32 years old the day you were born

Express front page - full page blurry image of 4 people possibly dancing with headline "IT'S RAVING MA" EXCLUSIVE- Anger as asylum seeked are filmed partying at former RAF base.

Asylum seekers aren't crying and terrified all the time and that makes the Daily Express mad

Dear God, they're DANCING!

Oh my bad, but you did use the word plan and in this context the intentional (planned) creation of confusion is IMO harm no?

You are Sam Altman and I claim my £5.

I think that rather than this being fiendish he just fundamentally doesn't understand stuff. Listens to other people who half understand things and then blurts his half understanding of that out and journalists like in the OPs passage here just help him out.

COWEN: The stupidest question possible: Why don't we just make more GPUS? ALTMAN: Because we need to make more electrons. COWEN: What's stopping that? What's the ultimate binding constraint? ALTMAN: We're working on it really hard. COWEN: If you could have more of one thing to have more compute, what would the one thing be? ALTMAN: Electrons.

These are not serious people.
