Pretty damn British that the person in charge of the UK's economy is talking about more austerity and strapping the country to the biggest stock bubble in human history from a lectern with "HOPE AGAIN" stuck to it. The wheel spins as it should.

So, massively speculating, but it sounds as if they were waiting and watching, but a farmer coming home from a party called in the local plod, who jumped into something they weren't meant to be aware of. Quite Slow Horsey.

One useful function of the fleeting Starmer era was hammering home that when a politician says "We hear you" or "I get it," they actually mean "Shut up" and "shut the fuck up."

In fact, these are scenes we have not seen on British streets. Immigration needs to be deal with, I will be the first to say that and we are dealing with it. The boat crossings have been halved since six years ago, net migration is down massively.

Fascinating repercussions now for the Premier League as a whole. Do broadcasters care that what they've been showing for the past 15 years wasn't real? Do clubs, coaches and player care that their chances of success were unfairly disadvantaged? Just the start.

A robot shoots a human to death with a gun. It screams “Die flesh sack”

Panel 2:

A MediBot is injecting something into a humans arm. The bot says “Whooops. I injected you with cancer instead of insulin. That’s on me”

Whenever people like Van Jones say things like "young people don't support Israel because of what they see on social media," it's worth noting that what young people see on social media is...well...this. Why? Because that's what actually happened to Gaza.

We Must Pace the Frontier: I've written a new essay on why the Al industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so.
Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We'll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models' alignment during training.

The third panel has the guard replying "what do you mean normal men?". The fourth panel shows both the goblin in the coat and the guard. The coat is beginning to open to show many goblins within.

NEW Why holding a placard is a terrorist act, while causing disruption in a balaclava is not The mess caused by ministers and the police not taking terrorism law seriously By me at @prospectmagazine.co.uk www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...

Recent events in England now reveal the practical difference between terrorists and protesters. It would seem that terrorists peacefully hold placards and get immediately arrested, while protesters wear black uniforms and balaclavas and disrupt infrastructure and do not get arrested.

How did we get into this mess? How have we placed ourselves in the position where terrorism legislation is used to detain and prosecute peaceful protesters, while those adopting the terror tactics of private armies seem to be free to do as they wish?

The reason is that for some time British politicians have not taken terrorism legislation seriously, and that ministers have got into the habit of misusing terror laws for easy targets.
