I love these charts, which are fascinating just for thinking about data and storytelling
both charts a) display data correctly and b) tell you something true and important about the world
and they're very, very different www.citadelsecurities.com/news-and-ins...

@joxley.jmoxley.co.uk This is exactly the thing I was saying.
I would like LMMs to stop affirming everything I say, but we all need GPT-4o to stop affirming to vulnerable users that they are divine entities, for example.
This offers affirmation to the delusional, it has to stop.

Always stuck with me: A friend asked how I voted, and I said 'I always look at what's better for the country', and they looked flabbergasted, and told me honestly that they'd never heard that idea before. For them it is 'who is doing more for me.'
They didn't reject the idea. It was just novel.

In a democracy, *should* the question we ask ourselves be "Am I better off?"
What about "are other people better off?" "Are the laws fair?" "Are we more secure?" "Are we trashing the planet for the future?"
The left, in particular, should be really wary of transactional framings of democracy. 1/3

I keep coming back to Barry. I've shared it with a few people who keep insisting it must be a parody. The original seems to have been deleted.
Whatever, I've been muttering 'Barry doesn't do boring' to myself as I do my housework this afternoon. I don't know why, but it's been oddly uplifting.

This guy is Reform’s new councillor for Stretton in Staffordshire. This is what you get with that party - all they’re interested in is making libs cry. They’re too weak and pathetic to do the hard yards.
Imagine what a Reform government would be like.

Like it or not, these tariffs were **incredibly efficiently implemented**. It would have taken a normal government MONTHS to have prepped them and cost x20-x50 as much.
When you think of the trillions of dollars wiped out this last week, you MUST take into account the ~ $1 million saved.

Listening to the latest 'Rest is History' - they quote the Bayeux Tapestry as the major source for the Norman Invasion.
I wonder what D-Day's history would look like if our major source was the recent exhibition of 80 meters of knitted dioramas at Peterborough Cathedral.
Woolier, perhaps. (sorry)

In 20 years time, right wingers will claim the Trump tariffs are the only thing that saved the planet’s ecology from rampant consumerism. They’ll say this with pride, looking out over the sea that used to be Florida.
Hard to put into words how much the right is freaking out rn on the other site
