@ClarksonsFarm1 If you want things that last, swap the Rover for Toyota Hilux. You know I'm right.

Out in beautiful Hampshire yesterday. People here know only the Conservatives have a serious plan to get Britain working again, and are excited to fight for it.

Kier Starmer was visiting a very small village in the UK, and asked the villagers what the government could do for them. "We have two big needs" said the village spokesman. "First, we Have a health centre, but no doctor." Starmer whipped out his mobile phone, spoke for a while and then said "I've sorted it out, a doctor will arrive here tomorrow. “What is your other need then?" “We have no mobile phone reception at all in our village”. 😬🤣

Your brain has a circuit that doesn't know you live in a city. Its only job is to monitor whether birds are still singing. Right now, in this room, it is on. The circuit predates primates. Mammals have been using ambient soundscape continuity as a predator-detection system for roughly 200 million years. Birds stop singing when something larger moves through their territory. For most of mammalian history, a forest full of song meant no large predator was nearby, and the cessation of sound was the warning. Your nervous system never updated this software. The Max Planck Institute tested the inverse in 2022 with 295 participants. Six minutes of birdsong dropped anxiety with a medium effect size. Six minutes of traffic noise raised depression with the same. The effect worked on subjects who lived in dense urban environments and had no regular contact with nature. The brain still ran the check. Birdsong sits in the 1,000 to 8,000 Hz range. Your brainstem reads continuous patterns in that band as a signal that nothing dangerous is currently moving through the environment. EEG data shows birdsong at 45 to 50 decibels boosts alpha wave activity by 14.1% relative to silence. Alpha is the brainwave signature of relaxed alertness. Push the same birdsong above 60 decibels and the response flips. Stress markers rise 29%. The circuit only trusts the signal at the volume of quiet conversation, which is exactly the volume birds sing at from a typical distance. Three things happen simultaneously when the brain registers ambient safety. The amygdala downregulates. The parasympathetic nervous system takes over from the sympathetic. Heart rate variability rises, cortisol drops. The posterior cingulate cortex, which sits at the center of the rumination circuit, quiets down. King's College London tracked this through a smartphone study with over 1,200 participants and found the mood lift lasted hours after the sound stopped. People diagnosed with depression got the same response as healthy controls. Most of what gets labeled mental fatigue is hypervigilance running in the background. Birdsong tells the circuit it can stand down, and the brain reallocates the freed compute everywhere else. A quiet park feels different from a quiet office because the parks have sentinels.

The DOJ's indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center is a chilling attack on civil rights advocacy. "Trump's DOJ has been weaponized by dangerous forces. Every organization and individual engaged in social justice should be alarmed. What we are seeing in real time is an administration seeking to leverage its position to target individuals and organizations that do not agree with its political thought." — NAACP President and CEO @DerrickNAACP Stand with us. We're urging every advocate to speak out and encouraging every voter to make their voices heard loud and clear in November during the midterm elections. naacp.org/articles/weapo…

The SPLC was probably the largest single funder of the Ku Klux Klan in the USA. No punch line.

@VaibhavSisinty @elonmusk This could replace most of the public service and the banks. Imagine calling and getting an answer on the first ring with an accent that you can easily understand.

Elon's team just did something nobody's talking about. They replaced Starlink's call center with an AI. 🤯 And the results are insane. 1 in 5 people who called Starlink bought Starlink on the call. 70% of support calls got resolved without a human ever touching them. Every caller was talking to Grok. It's called Grok Voice Think Fast 1.0. And this is not a voice model. This is a call center in a box. Plug it into a phone line. It picks up. It talks. It sells. It troubleshoots. It books. In 25 languages. With no lunch break. A single Grok agent runs 28 tools across hundreds of workflows. Hardware troubleshooting. Replacement orders. Service credits. All autonomous. The global call center industry is worth $350 billion. Elon just showed up with a demo that does the job better, cheaper, faster, and it never clocks out. Everyone is busy teaching AI to write code. Elon quietly taught it to take your money on the phone.

Trump’s billionaire allies will now control: CNN, Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ and NY Post — plus 450 local TV stations, including news, in 95% of U.S. markets. X, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp, TikTok, Truth and Twitch. Plus Gemini, ChatGPT and Grok. They’ll make sure Trump’s lies are legitimized and the truth is always questioned.

NEW YORK (AP) — Warner Bros shareholders approve $81 billion sale to Paramount in a mega merger that could vastly reshape Hollywood.

@ClarksonsFarm1 We used to put a billy out on a hook on the fence with change in it. The milkman would take the money and give us the appropriate amount of milk from the urn. Best milk ever. We still get unhomogenised milk from the supermarket and it is as good as I remember.
