I see Bolsonaro is calling for an annulment, claiming the result is unbelievable. I mean, after all, just like Daddy, he tried to fix the result, how did he manage to lose? I'd like to see an investigation into meta's attempt to influence the election.

Every time some absurd new claim about an LLMs capabilities is made, my immediate thought is: 'Huh! I guess they found something new to steal'

Ask Sarkar doesn't want to re-litigate BREXIT because it will be divisive. But the right wing is simply rolling from one divisive issue to the next. I'd rather have a boiling point than this slow descent into madness Also, can confirm Andrew Niel is still a twat.

So you have to hand it to the hyper-scalers. They probably know the AI bubble is not going to last, but that doesn't matter, they have made personal computing unaffordable, providing additional impetus/pressure to move to the cloud.

The AI arms race is out of control. "Our AI hacked n+1 more companies than our competitor" Have we lost all perspective, I know dishonesty has been normalized but deliberate malfeasance as a measure of growth is absurd

I bet every MP who voted no on assisted dying thinks suicide is a cowards way out.

Israel's response to UK sanctions on illegal settlements in the west bank should be sufficient for the UK govt to extend those sanctions to Israel itself. Clearly the actions of the settlers are endorsed by the state.

I wonder if the MBA curriculum actually has a module for enshittification? If not, I think the Xbox division has the 'experts' and case study material needed. Maybe Nadella knows he's cooked with his all-in on Altman's grift and is clutching at straws?

#starmer, you wally. Revealed yourself to be a dishonest, risible character, and for what? No TBI riches for you, maybe Truss will let you join her podcast, she needs a junior partner that's worse at politics than she is.

#popeleo encyclical: Tony Blair's a bit of a twat isn't he?

Just a reminder that Aaron Swartz was hounded to his death by federal authorities for downloading academic papers from JSTOR. Those same authorities are standing idly by while OpenAI, et al, steal whatever they like because they don't have a business model unless they can.

The awfulness of #TRUMP does not rehabilitate #BUSH & #BLAIR. At least #BUSH had the good grace to borderline disappear, #BLAIR continues to soil himself in public: www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

#starmer: it takes a particular type of asshole to undermine your own party in your thirst for power. I suppose we should not be surprised that having gained power, by any means necessary, you turned out to be an incompetent personality vacuum, scared of your own shadow.

#starmer Politicians don't seem to realize that the electorate doesn't believe Farage, doesn't like Reform, don't want Reform, but faced with the refusal to abandon the failure that is neo-liberalism, burning the system to the ground may be the only hope for renewal. Farage is gasoline and a match!

#starmer Maybe if you condemned the actions of the Israeli government and endorsed the indictment of Netanyahu, and the rest of his jackbooted regime, there wouldn't be a need for people to protest. Servile, Spineless, Simpering, Starmer www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It's not a monopoly, it's not an oligopoly, so what is it when an entire industry have decided on an entry subscription price, an inevitable increase in price forcing the user to switch providers, and the cycle continues. This is the the UK from insurance to broadband. No real competition.

My goodness Starmer is an insufferable prick, he just can't accept that he made a mistake.

If Trump issues blanket pardons when he scuttles out of office, the states need to prosecute, a cell is a cell. They may not get him but his administration and family are ripe for the plucking.

When right wing talking heads respond to suggestions that we should be taxing the American corporations to the hilt, with 'they'll leave', someone might want to point out that we would thank them for their exit and the hole in the market they have left for a EUROPEAN company to fill. Adieu.

Overjoyed for the Hungarian people, hopefully this is the beginning of the pendulum swinging back to the center and a resurgent EU.

Is there a less convincing hard man than hegseth?

Tony Blair: Come on Keir, don't make me sit in the war criminals who used to have been PM room alone!!

How refreshing would it be if the other world leaders, in a move of unprecedented cooperation, took it in turns to respond to trump's tweets with a simple. "What a twat!"

#iran Either the people who want the son of the late Shah to run the intermediate govt of whatever emerges from this illegal war, are so poorly educated that they don't understand the Shah was a brutal dictator, or, they have a preferred kind of dictator.

HOT TAKE: Any British Citizen living in Dubai or similar to avoid tax should foot the bill for any evacuation by the RAF etc.

If Greenland are saying no to Trump's hospital boat how about they dock in a US port and start providing healthcare to the needy?

It's all gone a bit pear shaped for Starmer The Palestine action decision casts him as a weak, authoritarian, fool. Not a poundland Trump, more a poundland Farage.

Donald, you've destroyed the planet. Yes, but nobody is talking about Epstein anymore!! Swings and roundabouts!!

If Wes Streeting is the best hope for Labour, let me be the first to welcome Farage to downing Street!!

I see that Shabana Mahmood is already resorting to rearranging deck chairs on the titanic. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

No matter the spin, #Labour blocking #Burnham is an act of self immolation. Yes, a mayoral election is an unwanted distraction for the people of Manchester, but there are a large number of MPs that will see this move as starting the printing press on their 2028/9 P45. Party not personality.

Has #Trump sealed his own downfall? Like most authoritarians, his response to getting what he wants is to ask for more. But his playbook has no answer to 'everyone is dumping US bonds and we can no longer afford our interest payments.' Removed by 25th amendment by mid 2026?

Listening to #Nadella talk about #AI as a public utility is like listening to a man in the desert praying for rain. Under Nadella MS stock has skyrocketed, but he is just continuity Balmer, his AI FOMO has exposed MS to significant risk on multiple fronts. If the AI bubble bursts he's gone.

Why do people like Carla Sands prostitute their integrity and reputation for someone like Trump. Trump doesn't want peace because of some innate sense of morality, he sees peace as an opportunity for yet another grift. The proof is in every peace 'deal' he proposes, justice is never at the core.

What I read in every crypto coin prospectus. The coin is called RUG Purchasing RUG is described as a CONtribution. Converting between RUG and FIAT currencies is know as a PULL.

If all the attendees of Davos were drowning and you had room for one of them in your boat, what would you and Mark Carney talk about while the world became a better place?

Amazing to see the lengths people will go to to avoid incrimination. Unfortunate for Trump that the more chaos he creates the more he looks fully implicated in the Epstein files.

#openai hires George Osborne, cock wombles are forming packs now.

#MAGA at this time of year

I'm just going to leave this prediction here. When Trump's actions cause Obama care premiums to spike, they will try and shift the narrative to how disastrous the scheme has been. Trump can't stand that a black fella is cleverer, better looking, better father, just better.

#bbcqt Why not just tell the truth. Trump and Putin are aligned and the USA is an unreliable ally. The US has proved its institutions are weak and its politics entirely corrupted -- left and right. They want this same chaos for Europe and we must resist.

Apparently the Whitehouse briefing re the Venezuelan tanker is being given by the new spokesman for the Department of War...

How long is it going to take for #Musk and #Zuckerberg to scuttle from under theirrespective rocks and start lobbying the administration to cancel it's social media visa entry requirement? If there's anything that will curtail social media use it's the perceived loss of anonymity.

It seems that the Chinese have a new ally in seeking hegemony over the US, and that would be the US.

#FIFA Is there anything that could makes FIFA seem more corrupt? Well they could cosy up to Trump!

Clucking bell, Star Trek, Into Darkness, is a pre-written script for the US press corp. "[Oy, Leavitt, NO] your 'mission' could start a war with the [Venezuelans] and it is, by its very definition, immoral. Perhaps you should take the requisite time to arrive at this conclusion for yourself."
