Wait a minute, is this the same Richard Tice who repeatedly called for Angela Rayner to resign over her dubious tax shenanigans? Surely not, because that would make him look like a hypocritical wanker. Oh.
When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”.
Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

Ukraine is about to get an awful lot of European money. No more Cunt's Veto. A potential turning point in the battle against Russian imperialism.
When the US admits that they killed any “military-aged men” who walked within 3km of a downed pilot they mean any boy lanky enough to be a teenager and any middle-aged man able to walk unaided with a cane got shot in the head for the crime of walking.
Israel now occupies more of Lebanon than Russia occupies of Ukraine.
But of course that's a 'good' invasion.
So there is silence.
So it turns out the real scandal of the Gorton and Denton by-election was the willingness of media organisations to collude in Nigel Farage's attempt to undermine the result of a free and fair election

I keep hearing that AI has made Agile irrelevant. Okay. I'll throw in the towel. Let's dump Agile altogether.
So, instead, here is by far the best AI-focused way of working that I know:
First,
- The way we treat people and work with them is more important than processes and tools
I've just read about "tokenmaxing," which uses the number of LLM tokens you blow through in a month as a sort of sick productivity metric. This is insane.

Spotted in Washington, DC.
User fixingmedaybyday on Reddit came up with "Agilecadabra" to describe management thinking that if they use the word "agile" without changing anything else it magically makes people complete tasks quickly, and I love it and am stealing it right now.
Not enough that Reform has a 24/7 cheerleading channel (GB News)—they also get 37 mins live on the BBC, while the Greens' press conf. don’t even get a mention.
Is Ofcom asleep, or selectively awake?
And the BBC?Are they failing to do their jobs, or doing exactly what they’ve decided their job is?
I mentioned TDD in an earlier post, and it became clear from the responses that there's some confusion about what TDD is. TDD stands for test-driven _development_ (or design). The "test-driven" is an adjective modifying the word "development" (or "design").

Nothing says 'we are guilty' like putting up massive screens and banning anyone from coming near.
You know why Bernie Madoff is the only white collar criminal to actually go to prison in the US in the last 15 years?
Because Madoff had the temerity to rip off really rich people...
Another lie easily fact-checked
I’m on record that a process is good for 2 things:
1 - a checklist to ensure you don’t forget something
2 - a way to keep people from talking to each other (hah)
that's good if the people can't or shouldn't talk to each other; and bad if people should be talking to each other.
the stink of gender resentment coming off Silicon Valley has been obvious for a while. these men hate women because they hate being told no.
"Palantir CEO Alex Karp thinks his AI technology will lessen the power of 'highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat' while increasing the power of working-class men."
Remind me again why Labour is shoving vast public contracts down its throat?
We are still short of people to stand as Reform candidates in the local elections, so if you are a racist, an ex-con, a horrible twat or even just a bit thick and gullible, we'd like to hear from you.
Business 101: Back of the napkin.
I just posted that a programmer who makes $200K costs the company about $200/hour, and a lot of people deigned to "correct" my math. Given that these back-of-the-napkin cost discussions are useful, let's correct that correction.

Why the USA can't afford anything.
"We believe that this incident is a deliberate targeting of committed young people who want to make our country a more equitable place."
Britain continues its rapid descent towards fascism.
If Muslims do this we call them radical terrorists and drop bombs on them.

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
I love a really good fake quote.
This one has all the ingredients because it sounds nothing like Orwell, is poorly written, and incredibly dumb.
"But if you attach a famous name and deliver it with whispered gravitas, there will always be dumbasses who'll believe it."

It's proper dystopian stuff going down in UAE.
A strange totalitarian Truman Show in the sand where everyone is acting on through.
Pretty funny that Michael Gove is dunking on me now he’s editor of the Spectator to promote its ‘bias-free’ reporting when as a politician he wouldn’t answer any of my press inquiries on the massive Brexit fraud he oversaw as Vote Leave’s co-convener
Correct, why didn't they just stop in the first safe country? 😉😂
