When half the AI companies go under at some point in the next 2 years, and they will - it's a debt field bubble that dwarfs the dot-com one, and prices for model use go up somewhere between 5-10 fold to try to claw back some semblance of profitability.... this may look ill-conceived 🤔

It’s a nice thought. But I’d say the impending AI apocalypse may make the dot com bubble look like a walk in the park. And everyone is going to get pulled down by it.

Andy Burnham blocked from byelection race by Labour ruling committee | Andy Burnham | The Guardian Decision likely to set off ferocious row between Keir Starmer loyalists and allies of Greater Manchester mayor

This makes me ever less likely to vote Labour at the next election. In another northern constituency likely to come under threat from the racist ICE supporting scumbags that make up the Reform Party. Such an obvious own goal. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I hope the king of the north gets his shot… gotta be an improvement on the current situation.

I was rubbish at observing sixth form lessons, particularly out of my subject… always ended up engrossed in learning something new myself rather than concentrating on the nuances of the teaching and learning 🤣

CP run by Paul Lee & Lynsey Hall. The Edale crew. They register the Challenger South (108 miles), Spine Sprint South (43 miles) and the full Spine Race 268 miles. A lot of crew from other teams congregate in Edale before moving up the trail and we all enjoy a huge crew meal together on the Friday night of race week before the runners set off and I begin to head up the trail. For those of you who know them, Alan Cormack, Lyndsay McEwan & Graeme Lornie are our regular chefs! Immediately prior to the races starting, the central race team hold a meeting in Edale to discuss expected events and to outline what is likely to lie ahead. This first weekend is extremely busy, but is still the calm before the storm!

The department I lead on this race is 170+ people strong. I place teams at 10 locations along the 268 mile Pennine Way to care for athletes as they tackle their brutal challenges.

I am so proud of the work that they do

Please show them all the love ❤️

#SpineRace

Chapeaux!

A long post about my experience of the Challenger South #SpineRace. This was my 1st 100-mile race. My longest race before this was Lakes in a Day (50 miles), & a BGR attempt that finished at Honister. However, I had trained hard since October, doing 32-35 mile runs, and felt ready to give it a go.

Yep. Unbelievable. Extreme exhaustion and cold apparently. At the 250 mile mark!

Literally our conversation over breakfast now 🤦‍♂️

Mad: a woman has bren forced to stop running the Spine Race Challenger (108 miles up the pennine way) because of death threats.

She was raising money for Afghan women and aid.

So some fucks decided to threaten to kill her. For running.

Jack Scott demolishes one of the toughest Challenger South races we’ve seen to date. He was cold and battled the worst conditions he’s seen on a race.

Outstanding win Jack 🙌🏻

Live Tracking Montane Spine Challenger South | MRT 2026 - Live Event Tracking

Jack Scott's done Jack Scott things & won the Spine Challenger South in 25hrs for 108 miles. Finishing a full 15m ahead of anyone else! Sarah Page is now second overall and ahead of the record women's time, considering horrendous conditions that's incredible! live.opentracking.co.uk/spinechallso...

FYI dot watchers, there's a full series of minidocs about this year's race, episode 1 is already up: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nskz...

yeah... I love the race and all... but getting up to it would need ice skates. Might drive up to Standege later and cheer them on instead!

Status update… made a brew and went back to bed!

#spinerace

Lying in bed listening to rain lashing down. #Spinerace starts in 20mins and I don’t envy them at all. Planning a 20km jaunt to cheer them on above Crowden but if this rain is falling on the snow it’s going to be absolutely lethal underfoot. And they’ve got 268 miles of it.

No problem Jamie. They can be a little slow to update compared to a good old hashtag but hopefully I’ve set it up right to capture most of the action 😀

I've made a #SpineRace feed for all you dot watchers wanting to follow the wonderful Montane Winter Spine Races this week via Bluesky. The amazing Jack Scott is already leading the way in the Challenger South and heading down into Hebden Bridge as we speak. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Where are you stationed this year Nicki?

The image depicts a digital weather interface on a smartwatch screen, set against a stylized, abstract landscape background. The top section features a gradient of deep purples and blues, resembling a twilight or nighttime scene with silhouetted pine trees and rolling hills. Below the time, there are three interactive widgets. The first on the left is an alert icon with an exclamation mark, indicating a weather warning. The second widget, centrally placed, provides details about a "Snow Warning." It states, "Expires at 12:00, Saturday, January 10 (4 hrs 38 mins). Also: Snow Warning." The text is in white and light blue, set against a dark, rounded rectangular background. The third widget on the right features an open book icon, suggesting navigation or additional information. The lower section of the screen displays an "Hourly Forecast" graph. The x-axis represents time, labeled from "09" to "16:12," with days of the week ("SUN" to "MON") on the left. The y-axis shows temperature in degrees, ranging from "-7" to "-2." Each hour is marked with a weather icon: snowflakes for snowy conditions, wavy lines for wind, and a sun with rays for clear skies. The temperature line is a smooth blue curve, connecting the hourly data points. At the bottom, three buttons offer different weather data views: "Temp" in blue, "Feels Like" also in blue, and "Precip Chance" and "Precip" in light blue.

Mostly contemplating the life choices of a long run out to cheer them on tomorrow lunch? 🥶😂

Hardly snowmageddon is it?

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.
