Yo I woke up a bit anxious today, someone give me several billions in venture cap money to buy a new gaming rig to prove i have consciousness

Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."

Maurice Glasman has always been a crazed weirdo pretending to be the voice of the people by way of flat cap, but he also wants you to know that liberals won't let you make love to your wife anymore. What do you mean, he's divorced?

Tech CEO: we kneel before you, o mighty Leviathan

Honestly, do yourself a favour and read this while it's on free-to-read. Incredible stuff; the kind of A-grade weirdo only the English aristocracy can still produce.

What a way to start the weekend.

I am trying to remember whether or not Rifkind is or was one of those "the good Tory" ones that James O'Brien et al. love so much?

From the FT: Dubai residents stuck abroad because of the Iran war are trying to return home to avoid incurring large tax bills by spending too long outside the emirate, according to travel executives and tax lawyers. Some are turning to private jet hire in order to prevent them being disqualified from the UAE’s generous tax status, which has no income tax on individuals, investors or most companies. Charles Robinson, who founded private jet marketplace EnterJet, said he had received requests to fly into the region: “With minimum required days within an individual’s fiscal year to gain benefit from the tax regime, some appear to be requiring a return to the region to complete their days.” A private jet was “an instrument of return” to keep them within their fiscal terms, “in many cases with the cost of a jet being far lower than their potential tax bill if they miss the minimum days”.

If you're paying for a private jet to put you back on the edge of an active warzone and return to your slave-based economy of Gucci shoes and awful shopping, rather than pay any taxes, maybe you should be the one subject to the kind of brutality that the UK is currently announcing against migrants

From a profile by Pagefield: Boris is a sheep while Keir is an eagle Deborah explained that when she revisited red wall seats in recent weeks she found a common narrative in the descriptions of the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition. When she used the focus group projective technique ‘if this politician were an animal…’ Boris Johnson was often described as a sheep. He’s now seen as aimless, chasing a series of different audiences with a lack of communication and clarity; a stark difference from the powerful simplicity of ‘Get Brexit Done’ which won the votes of many in that part of the country. Starmer on the other hand was described as an eagle. While this may seem a more favourable comparison, Deborah highlighted how Starmer’s leadership and scrutiny of the Government seemed somewhat detatched: similar to an eagle as he circles above the fray and creates a level of distance between him and his prey, rather than directly attacking.

Surely you can't mean Deborah "Starmer is an eagle" Mattinson?

It shouldn't need saying, but no, Noem distinctly does NOT think they're citizens

There's a ceiling on how online-pilled you can be, especially on the right, and still at least be able to wear the skinsuit of someone who isn't that, and Goodwin manifestly lost that challenge.

I think, specifically, there's a minimum level for appeal or competence you need if you venture outside the crazed online media bubble and, let's say, stand as an MP. All of a sudden, you're not surrounded by your very strange peers, but by normal voters who all go "uhh what's wrong with this guy?"

more recently they did the exact same thing to the Kurdish enclaves in Syria

Sounds like a great way to get cluster bombed by AI scripted pitches from PR hacks?

Some quick back-of-the-envelope arithmetic indicates that this "cash boost" will support the National Year of Reading by giving each public library enough money for a one-time purchase of two (2) additional books for their collections or cover approximately three (3) man-hours of staffing.

I created this entire sequence with my camera, using human skills. Something like this would have cost dozens of dollars in prompting, but for me it was completely free.
