@EastRenAsks @jk_rowling I’m gonna say it… @grok is this true?

@lollujo @JustEatUK AI customer service

That’s a genuinely incredible email @JustEatUK

Driving along one of the most dangerous roads in the world. In trouble. In war. In the Kill Zone. Richard Pendlebury has lived this war in Ukraine since the very start. I’ve only been able to watch on from a safe distance. That is until now. Richard takes me closer to the front line than ever before and he details all about our journey in today’s Daily Mail. dailymail.com/news/article-1…

@Artoe_Daytoa @BasilTheGreat That does seem rather a hateful article

🚨NEWS: Hope Not Hate have removed an article demonising Ann Widdecombe from their website It is suspected her murderer may have read it

I’ll take the hopium

@t_blom Absolutely, although the tunnels would complicate things

Adding Starlink to every UK train would be an incredible productivity boost 🛰️

@WarMonitor3 The strategy seems to be escalate until collapse. But whose?

Sources close to the Kremlin believe Putin is about to majorly escalate the war in Ukraine and has refused peace negotiations 3 times already and is determined to capture the Donbas, the most likely option includes mass mobilisation or provocations in Europe. Wow...

Clear overlap between algorithms analysis and token consumption in agentic engineering. How does my token spend scale asymptotically as my code size grows? How does any given refactor impact future cost curves? What is the effect of a given system prompt?

@ZackPolanski Wasn’t it originally taken away because people complained they were losing job opportunities for locals?

Labour continues its descent into cruelty. Why not give people seeking the right to asylum the ability to be able to work? They are fleeing war & persecution. Our country has so much more humanity than this.

@TateTheTalisman AI. Do you think it’s going to be transformative or all hype? It may seem far from Bugattis and private jets, but are you using it in your businesses and would you advise your followers to become knowledgeable in its use?

What do I not talk about enough that you want my opinions on?

@Cox_A_R Back to the old “make everyone equal by bringing everyone down to the same level”

They should slap VAT on children's books as parents who read to their kids are creating inequality. It's outrageous.

BBC 4 has officially ended its last Long Wave radio broadcast on 198 kHz at 0000 GMT tonight. They ended with an aviation and maritime weather report and one final sign off. The end of an era! 🇬🇧📻

The implications of this are boggling. Depending on what’s in the library, it could rewrite the entire history of Classical (and therefore European) literature.

@Jason It should be included in the flight price, not some paid extra.

What price would you pay for starlink per hour on a flight? (Just did this at dinner — answers for VCs was interesting) [ Will reveal dinner conversation in comments in a couple hours ]

@mtaibbi Freedom from religion should be equally protected.

Freedom of religion is fundamental to our system - I’m not sure what you’re asking but meddling with it can only end badly

@treesey Totally, it’s psychologically manipulative and plays on their insecurities.

So isn’t this film, a form of conversion therapy aimed at tomboy girls in primary schools? ‘Accompanying worksheets reinforce the born in the wrong body narrative and encourage allyship framed around immediate affirmation of the declared identity’ Extract:

It also trains them to work in the black market for food delivery, then later the legitimate market after 5 years when they get the right to work, and citizenship shortly after to re-elect the nice politicians who gave them free stuff. Is this the voter importation pipeline that Elon goes on about, or have I just been spending too much time on X?

Tower Hamlets

@SWDevonRebecca It’s going to send more Britons to seek asylum in the US.

Conversion Therapy Bill As feared, asking your gender-questioning child about their feelings is set to become illegal. You could go to prison. For being a good parent. Completely subjective criteria too. How have we got to this place.

@FondOfBeetles Don’t worry, loopholes in this bill will spring up like contradictions in an ancient religious text, because it’s just not logical.

So does transitioning your son because you thought he was gay count as conversion therapy? Asking for a friend.

@NadiaWhittomeMP @oliviabaileymp Will detransitioners be marginalised? Will those who first converted them be prosecuted?

With the publication of draft legislation to ban conversion practices, the government is finally one step further to fulfilling our manifesto commitment. Well done to the campaigners who have fought for many years to make this happen, and to @oliviabaileymp for bringing forward this Bill. I'm glad that it contains equal protections for sexual orientation and gender identity. I'll be working with LGBT+ groups to ensure that the Bill is effective, robust and free from loopholes as it continues its legislative journey.
