I don’t really get labels like this, @campdenbri. An air fryer and an oven both cook by heating the outside of the item with hot air. If the air fryer heats the interior faster, it can only be by delivering more heat at the surface. So why not have a higher oven temperature?

@Fireblade577 It’s part of the accelerationist “philosophy” in Silicon Valley. It elevates smart robots in the future over humans in the here and now. You and I are just fuel to be burnt reaching the stars. There is no intrinsic human dignity or value.
Which is great for every oligarch.

In the general context this is of course correct but it will not happen before 2-3 billion years have passed so I fail to see the emergency

@TrentTelenko @Nigel_Farage No no no! We see what’s going on in the US. Even we are not so dumb that we want that over here. Never gonna happen.

For good or ill, this is the sort of thing which will one day make @Nigel_Farage UK Prime Minister.🙄

A Muslim radical has been sentenced to 37 years in prison for taking a bomb to the maternity ward of a hospital in Leeds, England in 2023 and planning a jihadist attack on a military base. He was convicted at trial for preparing acts of terrorism. Mohammad Farooq made a viable explosive device, which he planned to detonate at the maternity ward of St James’s Hospital. Islamic terrorist attacks and thwarted attacks regularly occur in the UK, but leftists like to focus on the right, who they falsely claim is the cause of the biggest terrorism threat. The British media also does not bring much attention to Islamic terrorism, instead focusing on those who protest against it.

Eric Shiraev, a political scientist from George Mason University, speaking to Radio Free Europe, sees scant progress in Trump’s efforts. “He aimed for a swift deal to tout success, but nothing’s advanced,” Shiraev explains. “His team, chosen for loyalty over critique, bends to his will. It’s unpredictable—tied to his mood. Peace feels illusory; the price might be Ukraine’s surrender, which is impractical.” Yuri Gorodnichenko, an economist from UC Berkeley, told Radio Free Europe that this conflict hinges on endurance, not just troop strength. “Economics now drive this war of attrition,” he says. “Ukraine holds on with allied backing; Russia relies on oil. Both strike at energy systems, yet Ukraine adapts—using decentralized power and drones built in basements. US military support is crucial, but allies like the EU could step up. Trump’s proposals, like tapping resources or managing nuclear plants, are far-fetched; he’s after a quick win, not lasting solutions.”

@hotelluxband Tabloid Newspaper stayed with me and stayed with me and stayed with me and in the end I wrote something that is sort of about it. open.substack.com/pub/williamcul…

Today I argue that the split in Reform is being driven by the same force that put Donald Trump in the White House

@JDVance Weasel. Just another lawyer like all the others. Never fought for anything. We see you.

This is absurdly dishonest.
I don’t even mention the UK or France in the clip, both of whom have fought bravely alongside the US over the last 20 years, and beyond.

Bad news for Starmer and Macron. Vance confirms the only US security guarantee in Ukraine will be the mineral deal. He also plays down British & French peacekeeping troops as “20k troops from some random country that hasn’t fought a war in 30 or 40 years”.

What does the government want from UKRI’s next boss?
@williamcb asks whether talk of economic growth signals change in the funder’s direction.

Today I argue that Trump”s approach to Europe and Ukraine can only be understood in the context of his quest to solidify his control over the United States, to make himself king.

Today I argue that Big Tech have been the big winners in the first months of Keir Starmer's government, and ask whether the UK still has the capacity to resist its demands

At the heart of Canadian national memory is the awareness that Canadians twice came to the UK's aid in world wars years before the Americans showed up.
It will not be forgotten if the Brits now hide in a corner and say nothing when Canada faces existential threats.

Today I argue that push has come to shove between the factions in Keir Starmer's Cabinet over the AI Action Plan

@hebdenNik @thomasforth I think a lot of people have that instinctive reaction. But why your reservation?
English
@WilliamCB @thomasforth Loved this assessment thanks. Though some concerns regards the reliance on VC as the way out.

Today I describe the enduring influence of Margaret Thatcher on the UK's industrial strategy and argue that we need to change direction.
Link in next tweet.

@thomasforth Thanks. I guess I have just assumed everyone who's interested knows this story.
I've basically given up on X now and am over at BlueSky. We miss you.
English
@Tazee_k Oh hi! That's very kind of you. It does take a lot of work, yes!
I didn't see your message earlier because I have basically given up on X and only post things here because the Substack app prompts me! You can find me on BlueSky.

@WilliamCB I can't believe you're sharing that for free. Incredible read, thank you!
