Now playing … Downes Braide Association - Trauma The newly released sixth album from the Geoff Downes and Chris Braide collaboration. Upon first listen, this one seems to be their best to date with - once again - stellar guitar contributions by Dave Bainbridge.

Since Trump Took Office: Gas +39% Diesel +69% Utilities +15% Jet fuel +100% Health care +13% Ground beef +25% Elon Wealth: +122% Wall Street Profits +22% CEO Pay: +14% Real Wages: +.5% Trump Wealth: Doubled. Trump Cabinet: 8 members worth $100M+ Do you fucking get it yet?

Apparently, this is not a Monty Python sketch. 🤦

Now that @Apple has a younger CEO, @johnternus - presumably without hyperopia - could we PLEASE get a reasonably sized iPhone back? If possible with the good camera rig - something like a "Pro Mini"? The sizes of these things are utterly ridiculous.

go fuck yourself @sama claiming that you solved navier stokes because 10000 agents ran in circles for 88hours on a multimillion dollar gpu cluster to formalize in lean a blowup case under controlled external forcing is pure scientific vulgarity the clay mathematics institute millennium prize does not ask m whether you can artificially force a singularity in a fluid by injecting an ad hoc smooth external forcing term f(x,t) to twist the vortex until it breaks the real problem questions the fundamental stability and global smooth existence for 3dimensional incompressible euler & navier stokes equations under natural conservation laws and viscous dissipation alone using a mathematical loophole on forced equations to parade a century old victory is a major conceptual scam Altman technically & epistemologically what you present as an agi breakthrough is nothing more than bruteforce combinatorial autoformalization the ai did not understand fluid mechanics it simply navigated a continuous search space previously mapped out and constrained by the monumental work of human mathematicians like tristan buckmaster/ levent alpöge / diego córdoba or tarek elgindi coordinating 10000 agents to check the logical consistency of a 100 page proof via lean is a software engineering feat and computational parallelization triumph not an intrinsic scientific discovery it is the victory of the compute bulldozer over abstract human intuition repackaged for the public as a higher mathematical consciousness to this theoretical imposture you add a disgusting ethical and industrial cynicism taking advantage of private codex sessions and informal preprints from academic researchers to siphon their research leads and then trying to redact or erase the contribution of levent alpöge under the pretext that he works at rival anthropic is intellectual serfdom openai behaves like a feudal lord of silicon appropriating the cognitive subsistence of independent scholars threatening their careers behind closed doors if they protest and turning community academic labor into a privatized pressrelease this entire staged event serves a desperate financial agenda in a pre ipo panic facing the slowdown of scaling laws and growing investor skepticism over the profitability of foundational models openai needs to manufacture an artificial sputnik moment claiming to solve a millennium prize without immediately submitting the proof to traditional peer review means using the prestige of fundamental mathematics as cheap marketing fuel to inflate a delusional valuation!!! real science is not a clout chase on social media or a compute spike spent to rob the clay mathematics institute it is a quest for elegance physical truth and universal rigor to decode reality true artificial intelligence will not emerge from hostile corporate takeover of academic work hidden behind computational bruteforce but from architectures capable of generating new conceptual paradigms by masquerading constrained formalization as the collapse of physics greatest mysteries you did not solve navier stokes you only proved how far silicon valley will go to prostitute scientific integrity for capitalist spectacle

A timeline of one man's cunning inheritance tax scheme. 2008: Buy a thousand acres in Oxfordshire. Tell The Times that dodging inheritance tax is the critical thing. Scheme live. 2009 to 2018: Do absolutely nothing. A villager farms it on contract. Flawless. 2019: The villager retires. Rather than hire another one, decide to farm a thousand acres yourself, having never grown anything. Also 2019: Invite a film crew. 2020: Rain for nine weeks. Profit on a thousand acres: £144. 2021: Broadcast the £144 to the largest streaming platform on earth, thereby informing the entire planet that farmland makes nothing. 2021: Open a farm shop. Acquire a queue down a lane and the undivided attention of West Oxfordshire District Council. 2022: Restaurant refused. Enforcement notice. Six weeks to take a barn apart. 2023: Lose the appeal. Lose it again. May 2024: Accidentally get English planning law rewritten. Lawyers name it Clarkson's Clause. August 2024: Open a pub selling only British food. Sell your own sausage at 74p against 18p imported, and eat the difference on every plate. October 2024: The Chancellor caps agricultural property relief at a million. Scheme dead. November 2024: Stand on a platform in Westminster in front of thirteen thousand farmers, drawing maximum national attention to the exact tax break you were supposedly hiding behind. July 2025: Go down with TB. First calf ever born on the farm destroyed, pregnant with twins. Gate padlocked. 23 December 2025: Government retreats. The threshold goes from one million to two and a half. Five million for a couple. March 2026: Farm declared clear. July 2026: Drive four hundred miles to Scotland and buy more cows. Eighteen years. Planning law changed. Agricultural degree applications climbing. Cited in the Commons more times than most ministers manage. Half the estates that were going to be caught by the tax are no longer caught by it. He was accused of buying a farm to dodge inheritance tax, and then spent eighteen months getting the relief raised for everybody else's. Worst tax dodger in British history. Best thing to happen to British farming in fifty years.

You look at this footage (from the disaster in Nepal) and think "well at least you're ok if you're on the bridge.."

A metaphor for what Trump has done to our country in less than 2 years.

Legendär!

ENOUGH ALREADY...Can't trust ANY REPUBLICAN NOW....no matter what they say or post. It's time to take action on Trump. @HOUSEGOP @HouseDemocrats @SenateDems @SENATEGOP @SenSchumer @RepJeffries @LeaderJohnThune @SpeakerJohnson @ScottJenningsKY @CNN

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. I know @realDonaldTrump and family did. 250 years ago we declared independence from a king who ran the colonies as a family business. In just 18 months the Trumps have made King George look like an amateur. A $620 million Pentagon loan, the largest in the program’s history, to a company Don Jr.’s firm bought into three months before. An Air Force drone contract to a startup the princelings took public through a golf course company they own a piece of. The Army’s largest drone motor order ever, to a company where Don Jr. sits on the board and holds millions in stock. A $24 million Pentagon robotics contract to the company that employs Eric as Chief Strategy Advisor. A stake in the largest undeveloped tungsten deposit on earth, in Kazakhstan, backed by $1.6 billion in US government support. Jared’s fund seeded with $2 billion from the Saudi crown prince, now $6.2 billion, 99% of it foreign money from Gulf governments. Over $110 million in fees collected from the Saudis alone. He negotiates American foreign policy with the governments that pay him. $2.3 billion from crypto ventures their father regulates. More than a million people bought in and lost $2.3 billion. The money didn’t grow. It simply moved from the subjects pockets to the crown’s coffers. And the next one is already drafted. A proposed ATF rule that will allow guns to be shipped straight to your front door. The government’s own estimate is 3.3 million home gun deliveries a year. Don Jr. sits on the board of the online gun megastore built to cash in. He holds 300,000 shares. And that’s only the fraction they’ve allowed us to see. Not one subpoena served. Not one search executed. Why hide anything when you own the investigators? Me? They searched a laptop for six years. Federal prosecutors. Grand juries. Subpoena power. Congressional hearings. They found nothing. I made about $200k a year selling paintings when my Dad was President, and they made my paintings part of an impeachment inquiry. For six years they’ve asked Where’s Hunter? What about the laptop? Wrong questions. The right one is 250 years old. Does America belong to a family? They’ve given their answer. Long live the King.

War heute in Slowenien, Italien und Österreich Radfahren. Der verbindende Radweg ist ein EU Projekt. Grenzkontrollen gibts keine dank der EU. Überall Empfang und gratis Roaming dank der EU. Ich kann überall mit Euro zahlen dank der EU. Ich bin ja der großen Überzeugung dass die ganzen EU-Hasser Armutschgerl einfach nie aus ihren 4 Wänden rauskommen und einen Horizont bis zum nächsten Gartenzaun haben. Weil anders geht das gar ned. So viele geile Möglichkeiten, die wir nur deswegen haben, weil es hier einen länderübergreifenden Zusammenschluss gibt.

To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.

Hier seht ihr ein Bild meiner damals 10 Jährigen Schwester, das ich während ihres Urlaubs im Libanon bekommen habe. Es wurde eine Feier für sie geschmissen, weil sie sich dazu entschieden haben soll den Hijab zu tragen. Ich fragte sie warum sie diese Entscheidung getroffen hat. Sie sagte, weil sie nicht von Männern belästigt und vergewaltigt werden möchte. Man hat ihr nämlich eingeredet, dass es sonst passieren würde. Außerdem möchte sie keine ewigen Höllenqualen erleiden. Das ist nämlich der Plan vom achso barmherzigen Allah. Dich als Mädchen zu foltern, wenn du dich nicht verhüllst. Muslime würden sagen, sie will es doch tragen. Sie gehen nicht auf diese wirklich bösartige Indoktrination ein. Es ist nicht nur ihre Geschichte, sondern meine und anderer tausender Mädchen und Frauen. Das ist die Ideologie aus dem Islam: jungen Mädchen Scham, Verhüllung, Verunsicherung, Täter-Opfer-Umkehr und Gehorsamkeit beizubringen. Wenn ich darüber reflektiere, was das schlimmste am Islam ist, sind es die Werte: Selbsthass. Es ist nämlich nicht nur ein Stück Stoff. Zum Klarstellung: wir sind in Deutschland geboren und aufgewachsen

This is what 400 calories looks like. Same number. Two completely different outcomes.
