I saw this at the Financial Times. British establishment journalists have been indoctrinated—starting young at elite private schools—with the views needed to oversee the propaganda system Many have literally never had an independent thought. What they do is spout received wisdom So when someone probes one of their ideas it falls apart because they’ve learnt it by rote - there has been no conscious processing of information. They believe something, but don’t know why. They’ve just heard some authority say it The top echelons of British journalism industry are, consequently, some of the most unimpressive people on the planet. Anyone capable of independent thought - and critical analysis outside the confines of establishment shibboleths - is filtered out very early

In amongst all that Alex Scott fully fucked one off the woodwork too.

My current least favourite genre of tweet at the moment is made up quotes about footballers attributed to pundits.

Insane framing. He was anally gang-raped. He was severely beaten and then anally gang-raped on camera. Both a knife and a taser were reportedly used. There was a hole in his rectal wall. He got surgery for it. Because he was anally gang-raped by the IDF (on camera). He also had 7 broken ribs and other injuries as well. After it happened, Israelis staged multiple large protests in the streets. Not because they believe these soldiers did anything wrong, but because they were infuriated that the soldiers were arrested for anally gang-raping a Palestinian on camera. These protests weren’t just random people. They included multiple high ranking Knesset members (their Congress) who defended the anal gang/rapists. They didn’t stop there. They went after the lawyer who leaked the video. She was publicly smeared, was forced to resign, and was arrested. And now the anal gang-rapists who were caught on camera have had their charges dropped. They didn’t win in court. They weren’t somehow exonerated. The charges were completely and indefensibly dropped. The Jerusalem Post reports that there was sufficient evidence to take this to trial. This is part of a larger pattern of torture and impunity. NYT and many other major outlets have extensively detailed the abuses at the Sde Teiman torture factory. NYT reported that Prisoners lose 30+ pounds, a nurse was anally raped by a metal rod, another man was raped by a dog, and another was anally raped by a fiery hit rod until he died. Yes, the NYT reported all of that. I’ll share sources in the replies. Torture and sexual assault are commonplace at Sde Teiman, and many prisoners die in the process. The UN concluded that rape from IDF soldiers is so commonplace that it constitutes official “strategy of war”. And of course these monsters virtually never face jail time. Because Israelis by and large don’t have any problem with any of it. This is just what their society does. They torture Palestinians.

Let me get this straight… OpenAI was founded as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. “To benefit humanity.” Then he raised billions of dollars. Then he closed the source code. Then he converted to for-profit. Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone. Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models. Now he’s on stage saying you’ll pay HIM to access intelligence. Just like a water meter. He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he’s going to bill you to use it… Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they’re not even hiding it anymore…

I LOVE the Sergio Romero love in the comments. Cult hero ❤️

No one who hasn't been a goalkeeper can understand how difficult it is to play in this position. Keep your head up and you will go again.

Guy who sucks at building boats: no, it's supposed to be like that. I made it like that on purpose.

You're telling me the British Defence Attache to a Desert country is a guy called "Captain Sandy Sandilands"

🚨BREAKING: Two photons collided and an electron was born from nothing but light. Einstein spent his final decades trying to unify the forces governing matter and energy. He never got there. But he left behind E=mc² as the clearest statement physics has ever produced: mass and energy are the same substance wearing different clothes. Every nuclear explosion, every star burning hydrogen into helium, confirms one direction of that equation where matter converts into energy. What just happened ran it in reverse. Pure energy, in the form of colliding photons, crystallized into physical matter. The Breit Wheeler process was predicted in 1934. Two physicists sat down with Dirac’s quantum equations and concluded that colliding two photons at sufficient energy would produce an electron and a positron from pure light. No atoms. No nucleus. No raw material except electromagnetic radiation. The physics community accepted the math and then spent 90 years assuming it was experimentally unreachable. Photons do not naturally want to interact. Light passes through light without acknowledgment. Getting two photons to collide with sufficient energy required conditions that exist naturally only inside stars and during the first seconds after the Big Bang. Recreating that in a laboratory meant generating X-ray fields of extraordinary intensity and designing collision geometries that no instrument previously existed to control. At the right energy threshold, a particle and its antimatter twin appeared from electromagnetic nothingness. Every electron orbiting every nucleus in the observable universe traces its origin back to an energy state dense enough to crystallize into mass. The universe did not begin with matter. It began with energy so concentrated it had no choice but to become something solid. Physicists just reproduced that moment on a table. The line between energy and matter was never a wall. It was always a threshold.

how is that like earth at all then

A great lesson of, if you don’t know what’s happening, instead of assuming, just ask and you can be educated!

open the schools

Irish comedian Vittorio Angelone cooked Penny Mordaunt.

I fucking love this graphic so much!! (From a stats visual perspective) (From a content perspective too actually)

At this point I consider this treason.

"Just goes down brilliantly... So well executed." What is this commentary? 🤨

“Not an awful lot in it” after Dan Burn swings his elbow into Shaw’s chin. Yeah no worries commentators.

Petit is a class act. And getting in front of the conversation rather than letting it fester was great.
