When they think it could be terrorism: calls for draconian laws, deportations and drowning refugees at sea.
When it's mental health: tumbleweed and more flags.
No calls for the mental health services we need.
No support for rail workers, guards on trains or those drivers that "just push buttons".

It’s great when you put a lot of work into an article and you get good feedback.
I spent a while writing this to make sure it was accurate and informative, without being too technical or complex - and it seems to have worked!
Do check it out if you've ever wondered wtf the 'AI bubble' is all about

Nvidia invests in OpenAI, OpenAI rents compute from Oracle, Oracle buys Nvidia’s hardware, and Nvidia records huge sales.
Everyone in the circle reports rising revenue, rising valuations, and surging share prices, but the cash is largely moving in circles.

Siding with the hooligans is on brand for a government that seems determined to trash its reputation
The government's handling of the upcoming Aston Villa Europa League match reeks of a degree of incompetence for which they are now rightly known.

Iain Duncan Smith says when Maccabi played a game in Istanbul there was no trouble at all
@ianbyrnemp.bsky.social had to point out UEFA moved the game to Hungary after the Turkish authorities refused to stage it &the Hungarian authorities then played it behind closed doors. Hence no trouble
