I buy stuff for a living
Saw all that lovely money Clegg got for selling his soul to Sociopaths and said 'I fancy some of that!'

Really awful stuff, what a cohort of failures and grifters that generation of MPs was, succeeded by even worse sadly.

Reagan was a terrible President and he remains popular with the Right and many floating voters. We may not like that, but it's true.

Showing how Trump demeans the office and contrasting him with a Republican who would agree re that fundamental point is a smart message to win voters.

This is why Democrats lose. A classic Whataburger served with a side of purity tests.

Nowhere in the original message does Newsom endorse Reagans Policy's, you are arguing with yourself to highlight your own righteousness.

This doesn't help your cause, you just turn away undecideds with it.

Amazon wants this merry go round to continue because it's selling the shovels not digging for the gold.

AWS hosting expansions and their proprietary chip Sales are making them bank. They don't want the music to stop and will happily prop it up. NVIDIA the same.

Hasn't it actually only said it will sell $2bn? Then do that per annum for like a hundred years?

Unless something has changed I believe it's much less dramatic, albeit still an important announcement of their changing policy on this stuff.

God no, why would I give that demon of a company any engagement at all.

The people on X losing their minds WANT to. They aren't kids, they are culpable adults. Regard them as such.

We tried tolerance, it didn't work.

No-one in 2025/26 can plausibly plead ignorance to what it is or what they are.

France is really going out of its way to destroy European progress on defence and trade security at the moment.

Shutting out UK from Defence cooperation

Shutting out MERCOSAUR from Trade Cooperation

At a key moment for Europe, France is consistently Francing and fucking it all up for the EU.

Consider Phlebas is an epic book. Loved seeing that on this list.

Ian M Banks was just amazing.

I don't understand these billionaires at all, Bezos the same with James S. A. Corey novels. He loves a series where an oligarch villain destroys countless lives for their view of progress... Umm ok?

My gut

We won't see a 2008 level crash, we will see Tech stocks absolutely battered a la 2001.

The Tech companies are destroying insane levels of shareholders value but they won't go bankrupt from it, just wreck their shareprices and reputations.

Honestly I'm more worried about pension impacts.

But they make lots of money by not looking. So they don't.

2008 anyone?

If you can't afford to hire people to do it now and survive.. why would you hire people and pay tokens for an LLM AI to do it badly?

I normally agree with you but on US LLM AIs you are so unbelievably off the scale wrong.

No one is going to do this. People are just going to do more with less.

One of the most iconic and beloved moments of UK Christmas Cinema is a British PM saying get stuffed to an Arrogant US President who's sleazy to women.

The fact his team don't grasp a guaranteed election landslide #2 comes from doing this first AND backing Ukraine to the hilt is Infuriating.
