He's a political opportunist with flexible ideology. Like Liz Truss, he started with the lib Dems then adjusted his views to look for whatever gap in the political market he could find. The Greens were vulnerable to entryist takeover, so he opened the door.

It's strange how the Greens have ballsed up their supposed breakthrough so thoroughly. Not only is it idiotic, it's bad politics. Particularly as Corbyn provided them with a map of where this all leads.

The "zionism is racism" motion that has just passed on the Green Party's conference floor is truly gross, and deeply racist. The party's MPs deserve some credit for opposing it, though they should've done so more stridently and sooner. This is now a millstone around the party's necks. Deservedly.

Instead of debating “should we do what Canada is doing” (which is, so far, unclear), the debate could be: “how has the world changed that the EU and Canada are considering this, and how do we want to deal with this situation?“ Just a suggestion.

Very serious physicists spent some time at Los Alamos trying to figure out if the Trinity test would set light to the atmosphere. Feels like there are maybe some similarities with current AI.

If we saw half the outrage towards fatalities and serious injuries caused by car drivers as we do when bike or ebike riders are involved then we may see a change in attitude and a reduction in KSIs. But we don't, society shrugs it's shoulders & moves on because the convenience of driving trumps all.

I’ve flipped on this in recent years. Inheritance tax is so unpopular that almost anything you could replace it with would be seen as a vote-winner, so it’s a perfect opportunity to load £9bn of taxation on a bad thing you want to limit. Personally I’d do an annual property tax

Had always assumed that the large ai labs were buying huge amounts of future compute contracts so they could serve their customers; now realising that they will most likely want it for themselves.

I’m just laughing at how Harborne’s nose was clearly out of joint that his ‘contributions’ have been made to look pitiful. So like a spoilt twat, he matches the huge donation 🤣. The ego and petulance of these clowns is hilarious.

This excellent piece is worth a read. I'm so frustrated with the data centre debate. Almost everything gets solved with decarbonising the grid and mandating water use **if it's even needed** using closed loop systems. The US political debate doesn't transfer here in the way many think.

This is the wildest pass-agg eviction email you can imagine as.ft.com/r/810bfb3d-8...

A tenant who sent multiple emails outlining residents’ concerns was evicted shortly after, according to a notice seen by the FT.

“We are very sorry to hear reports . . . of how dissatisfied you are with our operational services, amenities, and third-party service providers . . .

“We feel that Shard Place is not the right property for your needs and we regrettably will not be inviting you to remain in Shard Place beyond the 12 months of your fixed term tenancy,” the notice read.

“It is unfortunate that you have not enjoyed your time and Shard Place Apartments, and we hope that you find a property more suited to your needs.”

In all of the (hundreds/thousands) of focus groups I’ve done the people who hold the weirdest views about the world are, without fail, people who are *very* into news and very good at finding (questionable) sources to back those views up.
