Every British person can remember the date 1066, etched in our minds since primary school. But I've always been fascinated by the Bayeux Tapestry & the story it tells. I just never thought I'd see it in person That changed today & wow - was it worth every penny 😍

This is the dodgiest and most-desperate thing I’ve seen in the bubble so far. Amazon selling their chips to a group of investors and leasing them back - an off balance sheet arrangement done in plain sight. Really scraping the bottom of the barrel here. And they’ll probably buy more!
Amazon is seeking to offload about $8bn of advanced Nvidia chips to external investors through a new vehicle aimed at strengthening its balance sheet, according to people familiar with the matter.
The Seattle-based cloud giant has held talks with investors in recent weeks to gauge interest in the deal, which would allow the company to spin off thousands of Grace Blackwell chips it is deploying in data centres across the US into a special-purpose vehicle.
Amazon will then lease the advanced AI chips back from the SPV, which would tap outside investors through debt issuance. By unloading the expensive semiconductors to investors, the company could adopt a more asset-light approach to its balance sheet.

I’ve not been in the best of mental states in recent months since losing my job & recent health updates. But I’m glad to have something positive to look forward to tomorrow by seeing the Bayeux Tapestry! One of those pinch me moments that I never thought would happen ☺️

I'm not saying this wasn't the case before hand (the patriarchy has been a problem for CENTURIES) but we as a society failed when we actively gifted the worst of the worst with these positions of power. Are we surprised an Alleged Rapist isn't concerned about this case? He's their role model.

It’s depressing to see these disgusting men try to avoid culpability. I’ve seen it a lot on here too. Even when you shine a light on someone & their behaviour - they end up ‘disappearing’ and just rebranding themselves. I wasn’t surprised to see a certain POS ending up working in AI.

I’m so sick and tired of the “it’s just XI v XI’ argument that City fans and supporters keep pushing. But your 11 was bought and built against the rules!!!! It’s like having a Ford Fiesta race against a Ferrari and arguing “but they’re both cars!”

Has there ever been a Doctor Who story about people substituting human capabilities with machine replacements that lack any genuine human feeling or emotion? If they did, remind me, was it good or bad?

Skeleton Crew was an absolute blast and I think did a great job at doing what the core Star Wars films should do: Balance emotional storytelling with humour & with a family audience in mind.

There’s a few, but: Apathy laying the path for fascism to slowly make a return - pushing the boundaries until it is in the open and wearing the same outfits/using the same language & normalised until it’s too late. And that the fight against it might not be rooted in an already failed system.

If an internationally-wanted war criminal (whose forces have killed Americans) comes to US soil, attacks Americans (including the mayor of the largest city), and then says "Remember the beepers" in reference to a terrorist attack he committed — how can that be taken as anything other than a threat?

England is a made up thing. It has no basis in the ineluctable laws of nature. Its extent is defined by Edward II getting his arse handed to him. Athelstan conquering York. The Welsh of Cumbria were incorporated, the Welsh of Gwynedd were not. It is a political idea, an aspiration - not taxonomy.

I’m fully caught up on #Lanterns now and absolutely love this show. I love the mid-season format because it gives you that Vol 1 / Vol 2 feel of a trade back story leading into each other but also kind of being self contained. And oh boy, did that eulogy end up making me cry.
