Indescribable…
Now that Count Binface is leading in the polls I expect the BBC will provide the same extensive coverage they did when reform shot into the lead. As Chris Mason argues, the people want to hear about the party leading in the polls! I will be certain to tune into Newsnight this week!
Fun Fact: Remain voters live longer! 2.6m Leave voters deceased against 1.6m Remain voters! Or maybe Leave voters were older. Just couldn't resist the click bait. Two spectacular Sankey diagrams from the FT today. www.ft.com/content/5656...
Fable 5 seems to be under house arrest. The land of the free and laissez-faire free markets has decided to fetter its use: "Anthropic has suspended its state-of-the-art AI models after the US government directed the company to limit access for all foreign nationals.." - The FT
Play Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon long enough and you eventually discover the darker version of the game: not all networks are harmless, and not all ‘connections’ mean the same thing. Are we all just six degrees of separation away from Epstein?
YAY! The petition for a government enquiry into russian interference has reached 100K. That means it will be considered for discussion in parliament. I've little doubt an enquiry will show Farage up as the traitor he is... Sign it here: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...
Oh dear oh dear... "European governments have rallied behind Volodymyr Zelenskyy and are rushing to secure a deal on the use of Russia’s frozen assets after the Ukrainian leader was pressured by Donald Trump to accept Vladimir Putin’s demands to end the war." www.ft.com/content/d26d...
Oh Dear... Donald Trump urged Volodymyr Zelenskyy to accept Russia’s terms for ending its war in a volatile White House meeting on Friday, warning that Vladimir Putin had said he would “destroy” Ukraine if it did not agree. www.ft.com/content/7960...
Heres a truly traditional english recipe (c.1870). Proper British fascists leave out the French bread.
UK Pollyanna Day: Forget the doom-spouting commentators and social media hater-ithms, from Bsky and the BBC, to GB news and X. Here’s something to be glad about: Britain is the most efficient high-income innovator in the world… depending on how you look at it. www.wipo.int/web-publicat...
J. Collins coined the phrase "Hubris of success" to describe the first stage of corp. decline. Experience creates a similar decline in people. Experience is a disadvantage if the world has changed. Relevant experience with humility, has a brighter future. Be willing to discard obsolete baggage.
Universality by Natasha Brown. The Devil Wears Prada meets Ayn Rand and woke-ness shrugged.📚💙
James Lovelock wrote: "Life actively creates the conditions to sustain itself." The politics of hate is an evil mutation on the meme. Addicts of Farrage's hate opium stop looking after themselves, their countrymen and children. Things get worse - creating the conditions for yet more hate.
Just finished the Flashlight by Susan Choi. A ghostly narrative journeying through generations and nations. Gave me a new historical perspective on Japanese and Korean cultures. 📚💙 www.penguin.co.uk/books/461727...
Max Wilkinson intending to talk about Lib Dem conference Policies. What's daubed across the screen? Reform: 0.8% DUP:0.8% Sinn Féin 1.1%!. Lib dems: 11.0%. We need to know what our elected officials are doing now, not what polls say might happen in 4 years. DO BETTER BBC.
Now I'm starting to really believe Nigel Farage is Agent Smith from the Matrix... Here's the conclusive proof... open.substack.com/pub/theelsew...
Steve Jobs had a reputation as a cruel boss. This gave wannabe tech execs permission to do the same - I blamed him for that and was wrong. The reality is more nuanced and this rare mesmerising video showcases an inspired and rare talent - a true genius. watch.amazon.co.uk/detail?gti=a...
We can safely say that EU membership had nothing to do with UK immigration. Since Brexit, immigration has gone up massively. Unfortunately we are seeing much less of our European friends & Allies. I wouldn't be surprised if the architects of Brexit are cashing in: #FarageFerries & #BorrisBoats.
