Per HoC Library, the current average is just over one per day: 28,000 ÷ 68 per boat ÷ 365, but that doesn't make a compelling headline

What do these corporations all have in common? -SpaceX -Palantir -RTX -Northrop Grumman -Microsoft -Nvidia They are all corporations whose stock Trump just purchased — and who do business with the Trump administration. We must not become numb to this blatant corruption.

Not just another AI movie. An autonomous delivery robot drove off the end of a pier in San Diego and quickly sank. The company called it an isolated navigation error. Was this the first example of AI committing suicide due to workplace stress? No, it was pier pressure.

the four stages: 1. Allister Heath's columns are not real 2. Allister Heath's columns are not serious 3. OK, they are real and serious but it's too late to do anything about them 4. Our only hope is to find a way of adapting to Allister Heath's columns

It's true that Americans commonly call a lectern a podium (and M-W says this is hunky dory) but that hasn't changed the English language meanings of the words. Shall we just call what you speak American and be done with it?

It's driving me insane. The govt spends £1.4 trillion a year. Borrowing estimates are often by tens of billions over a year. But we're supposed to imagine money is budgeted to the last penny.

Boris sharing articles referring to Ed Miliband as the worst possible choice for Foreign Secretary. A reminder that when Johnson was foreign sec he was busted getting a blow-job under his desk, had Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe jailed in Iran & got drunk & "accidentally" attended a KGB house party
