atched The Last Leg — they called out Tommy Robinson, but still used ableist slurs for laughs.
On a show meant to champion disabled people? That’s a punch down.
Channel 4, do better.
Adam Hills, do better.
Guz Khan, do better.

@Barney_H_Y And you sure as hell don't tax yourself back to amazing living standards 🤣
English
This chart is a warning: the UK has suffered a 16-year collapse in its ability to raise living standards. GDP per capita is still below 2019, tens of points behind where it should be. No major economy has fallen further behind its own trajectory.
If we don’t fix this, we don’t just get poorer. We drift toward emerging-market living standards while Europe stagnates beside us. A stagnant Europe leaves the world bipolar: the US on one side, China/Russia/Iran on the other, a powerless continent in between.
The US escaped its productivity slump by building global technology platforms. We didn’t. The bill is due.
Either we build a system where generational companies can start, scale, and list here. Or we accept decline.
There is no third option.

Love when firms Request for Startups.
Interesting thesis here.

Building something new is… a ride. One day you’re testing a fresh GTM, second-guessing every assumption, wondering if you’re the only person who thinks this thing should exist.
The next day you’re on the phone with someone squarely in your ICP — here, a PE leader — and they say this:
“I love it. Congrats on what you’re doing. There is hands down a market need. We’re exactly the right target for you at [ABC]. What you’re building is very attractive to us, and I have some thoughts on next steps.”
Those moments don’t make the hard parts disappear… but they do make you double down.

Make religiously motivated death threats costly

🔴 BREAKING NEWS: Sydney nurses Sarah Abu Lebdeh and Ahmad Rashad Nadir will face trial over a viral video in which they allegedly threatened Israeli patients.

Look at this nonsense- NO - they are gingerbread men!!!

Agreed – the ‘Windrush rebuilt Britain’ story is largely a myth. Post-war reconstruction was done mainly by British servicemen, women, Irish labour and European workers. Caribbean arrivals filled some gaps (buses, nursing, textiles) but weren’t the saviours of the economy and many came on their own initiative.
That said, they were overwhelmingly decent, hardworking, law-abiding people who arrived legally as British citizens, faced real racism (“No blacks, no Irish, no dogs”), and mostly integrated successfully.
It’s not remotely the same as today’s mass asylum migration, illegal small-boat arrivals, mostly young men from safe countries, high rates of rejected claims, and little effort to integrate. Conflating the two dishonours the genuine struggles and contributions of the Windrush generation.

"The whole Windrush story is a preposterous legend. Labour shortages in 1940s Britain? There were returning armies! The entire myth that Britain was built by immigrants begins with a demonstrable lie."

“So this is what we’ve got to do now with Christmas markets”

A show like The Rest is History is unimaginable on the BBC. It is much too interesting and naughty. (The dreary, worthy In Our Time is its best attempt.)

new from me on @every:
opus 4.5 blew me away this week. i built fully featured reading companion app that i now use every day, in between meetings without looking at the code.
two things that are important:
- we just reached a new level of autonomous coding. you've been able to one-shot an impressive app demo for a while now with any frontier model. opus 4.5 is the first model that just keeps coding and coding without running into endless loops of errors.
- prompt-native apps are now possible. opus 4.5 can now act as a general-purpose agent INSIDE your app, to power many of your features. this turns building features into an exercise in writing prompts—instead of writing code. it's the same paradigm claude code uses but now available for non-coding usecases.

Awful advice.
The best entrepreneurs end-up owning the biggest markets.
They START in a niche.
This is how you build a monopoly with minuscule resources: niche down, dominate and then expand to adjacent markets.
Thielism 101.
Matt Paulson@MediaKing
The best entrepreneurs go after the biggest markets. "Niche down" is bad advice if you want to get big. Pick a big market. Get a big business.

Introducing Whisper Thunder aka Gen-4.5.
Today, we are excited to share our new frontier model. Gen-4.5 was built by a team that fits onto two school buses and decided to take on the largest companies in the world.
We are David and we’ve brought one hell of a slingshot.

@wolfejosh There was more black people living in South Africa.
I’m pretty pro Israel (hence my disappointment at post Oct 7 behaviour) but reductivism doesn’t help anyone.

TRUTH.
End the lies. There's no apartheid, no genocide. Only LIES + LIARS trying to delegitimize + isolate 1 tiny Jewish state the size of NJ vs 53 Muslim countries
There are more Muslims living peacefully in Tel Aviv than there are Jews in the entire Muslim world.

@kylegawley Or what if it took a week for one person? But the alternative was $60k/yr?

Companies are not going to start vibe coding SaaS instead of purchasing
Why would I vibe code an accounting app and take on the immense burden of compliance and maintenance to save $50/mo?
It makes absolutely ZERO sense
Harry Stebbings@HarryStebbings
Vibe Coding Will Kill SaaS: " In a year or two; you'll get to a place where a lot of the current organizational tools that companies are using, you could build your own version. It would make so much more sense to you as a buyer. The code will be yours, the data will be us. You'll be able to adapt it, to your needs. There's no one size fits all. There's no like feature bloat." Do you think vibe coding will kill a lot of the SaaS market in this way @dharmesh @nicolasosharp @zackkanter @carlrivera?

Did you know there is a Jewish police force in the UK? They are voluntary and have no powers of arrest. They exist to protect the Jewish community.
Just imagine the uproar if we had a Muslim police force in the UK going around in police cars. The usual suspects would be in complete meltdown.

This is great to see. Scaling AI Growth Zones nationwide was one of the core pillars of the AI Opportunities Action Plan - my successor Jade and her team have done amazing work pushing this to such a positive outcome!
Department for Science, Innovation and Technology@SciTechgovuk
North Wales will soon be home to the next AI Growth Zone, bringing over 3,400 new jobs to the local area 🏴 AI Growth Zones are areas that will support large-scale AI projects and data centres – bringing new jobs, skills and investment into local communities.

If you’re a VC thinking about a career change - think about building something!
(Particularly if you used to be a founder)
If you’re a European VC, back to consulting / investment banking it is 😉
Alex Macdonald@alexfmac
Startup funding is cooling 🧊 Founders: make sure you close your round before Christmas or get to default alive. VCs: close your fund before Christmas or start thinking about a new career.
