Diddy cup the first step in the treble next season. Hibs will face another relegation soon enough anyway so might as well take the silverware.

AMD hopping on what it seems to think is the new AI hype trend with the arrival of OpenClaw: ‘Agent Computers’. The firm obviously has a vested interest in talking up this new trend, but how will Agent Computers differ from AI PCs? More via @itpro.com below 👇 www.itpro.com/hardware/amd...

Old Firm once again acting like clowns. Away allocations likely cut (again) and they’ll be back to crying about it. Rinse and repeat.

Love the idea of the European-made Jolla Phone. Looks fantastic, has an operating system based on Linux, and is built with privacy in mind. 10,000 pre-orders already shows there could be a growing appetite for alternatives to big US manufacturers. www.itpro.com/hardware/mob...

Loved the first two episodes of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Tremendous dialogue, good pacing, and loving the general vibe. Only downside is the length of the episodes - need more time with Dunc & Egg. Keeps you hooked though, terrific tele.

Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.

The UK has a lot of problems that need addressed, but seeing the US spiralling toward authoritarianism certainly puts things in perspective. The same chaos and lunacy over there could creep in here if parties like Reform end up in Downing Street.
