Starmer, Burnham, Farage, Polanski…These men have one thing in common. They all want nationalisation. That will mean companies run by politicians but paid for with YOUR money. There’s only one party that stands against their failed ideas and that’s the Conservatives.

@TheRealJamieKay Lack of freedom. The freedom to live, work, visit a wide range of countries with fascinating cultures. Hope, ideas - all vapourised by brexit

@MarvabluesF1 the thought of food binding is so awful… Lovely to have such an old image of your ancestors.

My paternal great-great grandma. She was very likely born in China before 1850. Seems like she didn't practice foot binding 😁

@adrgrondin @glifocat @lmstudio what inference engine did you use? What model format, quantization, what about context length & lv cache parameters? (on a 64GB m4 max best I’ve got is with qwen 3.6 30b/A3b, 128-256k context, 4 bit mlx under omlx)

@iamharishvasu @Jouhatsu_ai A 599 mac mini had 16GB ram . That would be tricky to run a sensible context 35b model even more. At a 4 bit quantization you’re well over 20GB

@TomK_Brit1993 yes. it was the biggest mistake to leave that I ever knew. Next election will be anything but reform, and ideally more-EU closeness driven (for me)

@Matthew06230436 @WorkElizab and personally I always pay digitally. If a place is cash only i don’t use them. that’s my choice. I feel ok with non-app as in card maybe? but cash - concern is processing costs/security

@WorkElizab We've had personal computers since the 1970s, they're not new. If some folk want to regard tech as being from mars and we all have to accept that and make life easier so they can 'stick to what they know' it's just making stuff more expensive.

Absolutely agree. Any business that demands app only payments should be boycotted. Their actions are effectively pushing Digital ID and CBDC, the two key pillars of the WEF/UN's NWO 2030 Goals. Those are the keys to a China style Social Credit Scoring System, designed to control everyone.

Isabel Oakeshott on Nigel Farage buying a £1.4m house: “I honestly don’t see why it’s anyone’s business. Why should people know how he paid?” Isabel Oakeshott on Angela Rayner buying a 2nd home: “I smell a massive rat. How on earth has she raised the money to buy a £800k flat?”

the £/km prices compared not just to china, but also europe are astounding. or japan. And even the US! We are very very broken. We need a better planning system, and yes this will degrade rights of some individuals, but we HAVE to have economic development and change

UK news: HS2 could cost up to £102.7bn and may not open until 2039 (BBC) This is Chongqing railway station rebuild in China. It cost £16.5bn and took only around 3 1/2 years to complete. Their high speed rail (350km/hr) cost just £5.9bn and took 6 years

Trump just got exposed for running the biggest insider trading operation in American history. Nancy Pelosi traded $5 million in stocks and Congress lost its mind. Trump literally executed $750 MILLION worth of stock trades in ONE quarter while being President. His ethics filing just dropped and the numbers are genuinely unprecedented in history: Between January and March 2026, Donald Trump personally executed 3,700 individual stock transactions worth between $220 million and $750 million. That's roughly 60 trades PER DAY. While signing executive orders, meeting foreign leaders, and making policy decisions that directly impact the companies he's buying and selling. Now here's where it gets really insane: On February 10, Trump bought between $1 million and $5 million worth of Dell stock. Three months later, on May 8, he stood at a Mother's Day event at the White House, thanked Michael Dell by name, and told Americans to "go out and buy a Dell." Dell stock surged 14.6% that day to an all-time high of $263.99. Since Trump's February purchase, Dell is up 96%. And 5 months BEFORE Trump bought Dell stock, Michael and Susan Dell donated $6.25 billion to Trump Accounts, one of the largest philanthropic commitments to a sitting president's signature program in modern history. So the timeline goes: Dell donates $6.25 billion to Trump's program -> Trump buys Dell stock ->Trump tells America to buy Dell from the White House podium -> Stock hits all-time high And that's just ONE stock... The same filing shows Trump bought Nvidia stock on February 10. One week later, Nvidia announced a massive chip deal with Meta. He bought more Nvidia stock one week BEFORE his own Commerce Department approved the sale of Nvidia chips to Saudi Arabia. He bought Intel stock starting in March 2026. The US government already owned a 9.9% stake in Intel worth over $41 billion. On April 30, Trump posted on Truth Social praising Intel, writing that "Intel Stock continues to rise." Intel jumped 3% in after-hours and is now up 140% year-to-date. He bought Palantir stock while his administration was actively handing them billion-dollar government contracts for immigration enforcement and defense. He bought Robinhood stock while his own Trump Accounts program uses Robinhood as the broker. He's currently sitting on over 100% profit on AMD, Intel, Bloom Energy, Marvell Technology, and at least 10 other positions. Every single president since Lyndon B. Johnson has used a blind trust to avoid exactly this situation. But Trump didn't. His assets sit in a trust controlled by his own children, and the filings show a broker acted as agent on several trades. The White House says the portfolio is "independently managed." But here's what independently managed looks like: Buy Dell stock. Three months later, publicly endorse Dell from the White House. Stock hits all-time high. Buy Nvidia stock. One week later, your own government approves their chip sales. Stock rips. Buy Intel stock. Post about Intel on Truth Social. Stock jumps. The government you run already owns a 10% stake. Buy Palantir. Hand them contracts. Buy Robinhood. Route a federal program through their platform. Nancy Pelosi got absolutely destroyed for her husband's stock trades. Her husband's total disclosed trades in his most controversial year were worth roughly $5 million. Trump just disclosed up to $750 MILLION in a single quarter. While making the actual policy decisions that move these stocks. This isn't a left or right issue. We're talking about the President of the United States averaging 60 stock trades per day in companies his own administration regulates, contracts with, and publicly endorses. What do you think?
