it’s patriotic to let your country’s rich guys enslave you

Iconic moment at the Downton Abbey premiere

What a delight to talk to @waleswbg.bsky.social for their inaugural podcast episode about the wealth tax (and @taxjusticeuk.bsky.social 's work on this issue ) and how it can help address the gender wealth gap.

Arriving in Toronto and demanding an audience with Tim Horton

A lot of people are learning that cowardice won’t save them in real time. Might as well be brave.

New Statesman cover this week. Online tomorrow. On newsstands Thursday.

The millionaire exodus widely reported in the news is a complete fiction. This is "scaremongering", the @taxjusticeuk.bsky.social @fmohiuddin.bsky.social says and points out that most wealthy people do want to pay more tax.

We're less than £2k from our goal. Help us train 3 new media spokespeople to push for a wealth tax.

Proud to be out with @patmillsuk.bsky.social & the @taxjusticeuk.bsky.social team this morning driving a bus round Westminster & calling to #taxourwealth

Keir Starmer faces backbench rebellion over ‘shortsighted’ cuts to aid budget MPs ask ‘what will be left of Labour programme?’ amid calls for rethink and plan to speak out against decision

Charity leaders calling for our wealth tax proposal in the @theguardian.com:

"This was not an inevitable decision. Labour had alternatives, such as a modest 2% wealth tax on assets over £10m."

Cutting Medicaid will kick grandparents out of nursing homes.

Cutting Medicaid will throw people with disabilities off insurance.

Cutting Medicaid will threaten coverage for 2 in 5 births in America.

This is what Republicans just voted to do to fund tax cuts for the rich.

Oh no

centrists are unbelievable sometimes

Love how every single liberal party strategy is “moving right wins elections” then when moving right repeatedly fails to win elections cause they’re running against OPENLY RIGHT-WING PARTIES they just go “Well clearly we didn’t move right enough.” Like even a child could tell you what’s wrong

What kendrick did to drake, I need bill burr to do to ben shapiro comedically and professionally

Move to cut UK aid will “destroy Labour’s legacy on international development” say NGO leaders in letter to PM and Treasury | Bond 138 leaders of NGOs from across the UK, including Save the Children UK, Oxfam GB, World Vision UK, ONE, Christian Aid, Action Aid UK, Islamic Relief,

138 NGO leaders tell Keir Starmer: "It is unacceptable that taxing extreme wealth was not looked at before cutting UK aid."

GPT-4.5 is ready! good news: it is the first model that feels like talking to a thoughtful person to me. i have had several moments where i've sat back in my chair and been astonished at getting actually good advice from an Al. bad news: it is a giant, expensive model. we really wanted to launch it to plus and pro at the same time, but we've been growing a lot and are out of GPUs. we will add tens of thousands of GPUs next week and roll it out to the plus tier then. (hundreds of thousands coming soon, and i'm pretty sure y'all will use every one we can rack up.) this isn't how we want to operate, but it's hard to perfectly predict growth surges that lead to GPU shortages. a heads up: this isn't a reasoning model and won't crush benchmarks. it's a different kind of intelligence and there's a magic to it i haven't felt before. really excited for people to try it!

Microsoft has been charging OpenAl about $1.30 per A100 per hour—a hefty discount to the rate Microsoft charges other customers. The inference cluster is basically operating at full capacity, this person said, so a full-year cost would run about $4 billion. That cost could dip if OpenAI makes it cheaper to run its models on those servers.

Sam Altman is talking about bringing online "tens of thousands" and then "Hundreds of thousands" of GPUs. 10,000 GPUs costs them $113 million a year, 100k $1.13bn, so this is Sam Altman committing to billions of dollars of compute for an expensive model that lacks any real new use cases. Suicide.

LLMs like ChapGPT don't know anything. They don't have knowledge. So if you ask them anything you then have to properly check the answer. So you might as well just...start by...getting the answer yourself using proper research, save some time.

If a German Stiftung is named after someone, never google their name and "1933-1945"

Life in Germany in 2025

It's weird that we're all forced to pay for public broadcasters in Germany but foreigners have basically zero representation in the public broadcasters.
