My favorite part of the Bible is when Jesus rose from the dead and Daryl shot him in the head with his cross bow

Power without accountability: The Palantir manifesto The problems with our tech philosopher kings

New, from me: Take the Palantir manifesto seriously, if not literally.
It reveals that our tech philosopher kings want public money, but without public accountability. This creates a dilemma for governments unaligned with its techno-fascist vision. 🧵

#COYS Public Service Announcement:
You don't need to be Spurs to hate Arsenal. It's a perfectly normal human reaction, don't worry.

She’s a pro! 😲

#COYS Shit, every fuckin time!

#COYS XAVI, I LOVE YOU!

#COYS Yeeeeooooooo!

#COYS I had the same before the Forest game .......

Here’s Trump bragging about making the U.S. a country that no one wants to come to and many want to leave.

"I've noticed the sexist comments. But, I refuse to give these voices a platform. For me, this is solely about leadership quality - and we are fully convinced that Loui is up to the task. I find it absurd that we still have to justify this in 2026. We're talking about a highly competent leader here. We at Union stand united behind this decision and will do everything in our power to ensure that this is no longer a topic of discussion in the future. All of this is simply embarrassing."

“We hear you and you’re being pathetic little man babies, grow up” is the allyship we all need. More of this type of thing please.

Congratulations

Only just discovered this but any football fan anywhere, it's just beautiful!

The Daily Star front page with Grandad Dementia's AI post of himself as Jesus, the subheading 'Trump backs down in Pope row' and the main headline "You're not the Messiah, you're a very naughty boy"

Honestly makes you proud to be British.

The Money Is Not There Three collapses in a weekend the blockade ended — notes on the government, the opposition, and the tradition I write from

Follow-up to “The Blockade Is the Message” is up.
3 collapses in a weekend the blockade ended:
📌a gov’t that found €750m for a tractor but not €100m for disability
📌an opposition that filed the right motion on the wrong grounds
📌a tradition claimed by people it was built against

They will never be forgotten 🙏

Today we stand in solidarity with @LFC in remembrance of the 97 fans who lost their lives as a result of the Hillsborough disaster, which occurred on 15 April 1989.

How bad analytics built a Tottenham team that might get relegated Tottenham are really bad and looking at the way this team has been constructed, one thing clearly stands out: This team is really bad at passing the ball, and that may explain their present malaise.

I wrote about how Spurs used new some numbers terribly and ended up with a super-expensive team of players who can't pass: www.espn.com/soccer/story...

I’m not proud of myself, but I’m taking this opportunity to enjoy the worst people having a bad time. Feel free to send me examples.

#COYS Good grief.

#COYS I hate the way faking and diving has become part of our game. We're not Arsenal.

Probably not
