@WestminsterWAG There is a weird behavior on buses that doesn't seem to happen on trains. Perhaps its the lack of presence of a conductor that seems to unleash it.

I took the 94 bus home from dinner with an old school friend tonight. I was harassed by a man, while another sat next to me apparently in hysterics at what was going on. It was fine: I’m far too long in the tooth to care about a couple of dickheads. But had I been younger, I would have been quite scared. It’s not right that women should have to put up with this bullshit. Not right at all. London is not safe. @SadiqKhan

@London_W4 Cool story bro

And now I’m here at a lovely little pub in Mayfair. Just witnessed a classic interaction. The guy on the left asked the beautifully dressed English guy who just arrived for a drink, if he worked at a restaurant down the road. The perfectly dressed guy was totally speechless and the barman who knew him, explained that no he didn’t work in a restaurant. He did mention what he did and it was rather more lucrative. Was just a classic of putting your foot in it and accidentally insulting someone. Loved witnessing that.

@CNviolations What a pair of twats

😂

@michaeljburry We also need to factor in that OpenAI and Anthropic IPOs MUST happen this year. They need that IPO cash and there's no way they can or will let the Chinese win the AI war. So IPO pumps, then down she blows imo. Huge IPOs at the top of the bubble,we've seen that one a few times...

Must read - this is free and not me. @georgenoble/note/c-226667679?r=4repfn&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=notes-share-action" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">substack.com/@georgenoble/n… This is the most SHAMELESS structural manipulation of a major index I've ever seen. SpaceX is preparing what could be the largest IPO in history. Target valuation: $1.75 trillion. That would make it the sixth-largest company in America on day one. And Nasdaq wants the listing so badly they're literally CHANGING how the Nasdaq-100 works. In February, Nasdaq published a "consultation" proposing sweeping changes to how companies enter the index. The timing is pure coincidence, of course. Just like it's pure coincidence that SpaceX has reportedly made fast index inclusion a CONDITION of listing on Nasdaq. Here's what they're proposing: A new "Fast Entry" rule would let any newly listed company whose market cap ranks in the top 40 of current Nasdaq-100 members get added to the index after just 15 trading days. No seasoning period. No liquidity requirements. Completely exempt from the standards every other company had to meet. Currently, new public companies typically wait up to a year before they're eligible for major index inclusion. That waiting period exists for a reason. It lets the market establish real price discovery. It protects passive investors from being forced into untested, illiquid stocks. And Nasdaq wants to throw all of that out. For ONE listing. But the Fast Entry rule isn't even the worst part... The real scandal is the 5x float multiplier. Right now, the S&P 500 uses a free-float adjusted methodology. If only 5% of a company's shares are available for public trading, the index weights you at 5% of total market cap. That's common sense. You weight a company based on what investors can actually buy. Nasdaq's current methodology already uses total market cap rather than free-float for weighting. But for very low-float stocks, they at least had a 10% minimum float threshold. Under the new proposal, that threshold DISAPPEARS entirely. Instead, any stock with less than 20% free float gets weighted at FIVE TIMES its actual float percentage, capped at 100%. Do the math on SpaceX: If SpaceX IPOs at $1.75 trillion and floats 5% of its shares, there would be roughly $87.5 billion worth of stock available for public trading. Under Nasdaq's proposed 5x multiplier, the index would weight SpaceX at 25% of its total market cap. That means passive funds would be forced to buy as if SpaceX were a $437.5 billion company. But only $87.5 billion of stock actually exists in the market. You are forcing hundreds of billions in passive buying into a $87.5 billion float. QQQ alone manages nearly $400 billion. The total Nasdaq-100 ecosystem represents over $1.4 trillion in exposure across ETFs, mutual funds, structured notes, and derivatives. Every single passive vehicle tracking this index would be REQUIRED to buy SpaceX at whatever price the market dictates. On Day 15. With zero price discovery. Zero track record as a public company. And a float so thin you could read through it. So what this actually does is it creates a structural wealth transfer mechanism. The passive bid from index funds pushes the stock price higher. That higher price benefits exactly one group of people: the insiders and early investors who own the other 95% of the shares. And when lock-up periods expire 90 to 180 days later? Those insiders sell into the artificially inflated passive bid. Your 401(k) is the exit liquidity. This is the fundamental corruption of indexing. Indexing used to be brilliant. Low cost. Efficient. You were free-riding on the price discovery done by active managers. The index reflected the market. Now the index IS the market. Trillions of dollars flow blindly into whatever the index tells them to buy. And the people who control the index methodology are changing the rules to serve the interests of a single IPO candidate. The S&P 500 requires companies to have at least…

@rnewton7777 Thanks Richard for all you do and have done👍

@plusEVbacker 0:12 BOSH!

Looks like it's kicked off in William hill at Cheltenham 🤣

@itsPaulAi I wonder whether it will include DeepSeek v4, if/when it drops...rumoured for tomorrow?? That would make an already superb value plan incredible!

@LuciusFoxGME Yes, exactly!

So Alibaba has just released a coding plan with all the best open source models You’ve access to Qwen 3.5-Plus, Kimi K2.5, MiniMax M2.5, GLM-5, etc. And you can plug it to: - Claude Code (as I did) - OpenClaw - Codex - Cline… While being waaay cheaper than the paid plan of Codex, Claude & Cie.

@theonlybold @fiverr @FiverrSupport Why would anyone even use this platform anymore? It is basically unuseable

That's disrespectful @fiverr @FiverrSupport , So many people want to work and earn money to support their families, and every single day scammers appear sending malicious link to harm us. I want solution and to be able to work honestly and receive serious proposals;

@RosacreateUGC @fiverr Why would anyone even use this platform anymore? It is basically unuseable

PSA: If your new to @fiverr you really need to be aware of scammers that try and lure you off the platform to what “looks to be a legit Fiverr Site” in order to ask for credit card details to process payment. Fiverr would never do such a thing. Immediately report and block. 🚩🚩

Stop paying for Claude Code. You can run it for FREE. No API tokens. No monthly plan. No cloud costs. Here’s the simple setup: 1. Download Ollama (free). 2. Install a local model like GLM 4.7 Flash. 3. Launch Claude Code using that local model. 4. Done. You’re now running Claude Code fully powered by a local model. Same interface. No API bill. You can even run OpenClaw the same way. Local AI agents. Free. 24/7. Most people are overpaying because they don’t know this exists.

My OpenClaw bot runs 6 AI agents 24/7: - Finds local businesses without a website - Builds a custom demo site for them automatically - Sends outreach with the preview + payment link - Handles objections and closes the sale Most local businesses don't have a website, this system finds them, pitches them, and collects payment automatically Reply "OpenClaw" and I'll send you early access (must be following)

- Claude for coding. - Supabase for backend. - Vercel for deploying. - Namecheap for domain. - Stripe for payments. - GitHub for version control. - Resend for emails. - Clerk for auth. - Cloudflare for DNS. - PostHog for analytics. - Sentry for error tracking. - Upstash for Redis. - Pinecone for vector DB. You can literally ship a startup from your bedroom now. It’s not that deep bro.

@EveryTicker I have had a Fiverr account since they started, have seen it when it was great and now at its worst. No way would I risk $1k on that platform. This company is doomed. The Fiverr platform is basically unuseable.

Legitimate concern. But that's actually why the $1K+ gig shift matters -- higher-value projects attract professional freelancers and corporate buyers who are less scam-tolerant. Fiverr's take rate on premium gigs is significantly higher too. If they can't fix trust at the enterprise tier though, the thesis breaks. $FVRR

Fiverr is guiding for revenue DOWN 12% in 2026. On purpose. They're killing the $5 logo design business that AI is destroying -- pivoting to $1K+ complex projects AI can't touch yet. Shrinking to survive is rare. It might be the only move. $FVRR

@inworld_ai The voice dropdowns on the page are infuriating! I just cannot select a voice or language, as soon as you try and scroll, the dropdown closes. I have tried 3-4 browsers and all do the same. Please fix it! inworld.ai/tts

@asiasluxelife I am so surprised anyone uses it, personally, I think the platform has become unuseable. Apprarantly they are moving away from $5 gigs to more complex $1k gigs that AI can't fix. Imagine what the scammers will be like when $1k gigs are dangled in their faces!

I’ll never use @fiverr again. What a disaster. It’s crawling with AI and scammers. I mean CRAWLING! Disgusting.

Copycat.. 😅

@CrimeLdn I remember the "open pick n mix bakery" video at Waitrose at Kings Cross with rats and mice runnign over all the croissants!
