Because my current internet provider has stopped covering the area where I live I now have no choice but to get internet from the Elon Musk company Starlink, I hate the idea of giving money to that man but its either that or no internet 😞

East Of Eden is one of the few John Steinbeck novels that I have never read but the new adaptation on Netflix is excellent , definitely recommend.

I live in the countryside and my internet provider has said they will no longer cover my area, the only alternative seems to be the Elon Musk company Starlink which I am not happy about , I really dont want to give money to a white supremacist but may have no choice.

Such a shame that Eric is still not at United rather than Ratcliffe

I have been a United supporter all my life going back to the days of Best, Law and Charlton but if Ratcliffe continues with his Reform style comments I will withdraw my support until he leaves.

Happy 58th anniversary of the party Joan Didion gave to celebrate the publication of Tom Wolfe’s The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, at which Otto Preminger dropped acid, Harrison Ford and record label boss Earl McGrath got wrecked and played living artworks, and 13-year-old Griffin Dunne watched... 🧵

Dolly Parton decided to cover "Stairway to Heaven" as a gospel song, and asked Robert Plant for permission to write a new verse for it, and Robert Plant basically said "of course you can, you're Dolly Parton" youtu.be/YhTvxVxXJLQ

Watching a recent discussion about AI makes me realise that governments on both sides of the Atlantic are asleep at the wheel regarding the potential dangers of AI and how 20 years from now industrial, political and social progress and development will be determined by AI and not by humans.

This game has 1-0 to somebody written all over it, hopefully in 90 mins because nobody would want an extra 30 mins of this turgid stuff, Vamos Spain.

Really hope Spain win tonight, not only because it is my home now but because it seems that all the worst people are supporting Argentina.

Have a feeling that Morocco may beat France tonight, my predictions are usually wrong but it will either be a convincing win for France or a tight win for Morocco, in many WCs we see the team that looks the best in the tournament unexpectedly beaten.
