There's been a lot of chat and attacks from the far-right over the years about 'lefty snowflakes' and how sensitive they perceive those on the left of politics to be.

Two weeks ago, a 'lefty' woman was savagely set upon and literally beaten with a metal stick, her hair pulled and throat raked at by a baying mob of Reform UK fans.

Have you heard her complaining about it? No.

On Saturday, a far-right man spilled some coffee on his hand and has spent the hours since, subsequently ramping up the story to the point where he stuck his foot in a hairdresser's sink and put in on 𝕏.

They's still bleating about the 'political violence' this morning, two days later.

The far-right may control the lion's share of social media, but they are really quite sad and pathetic.

Disjointed young men and boys who desperately seek validation from other men before bleating about an 'injury' so minor that if it happened to a toddler, the parent would make boo boo noises, kiss it better and it would be gone.

The doctor who delivered Dolly Parton in a one-room Tennessee cabin in 1946 was paid with a sack of cornmeal. Her father farmed other people's land and could not read or write. Eighty years later, the reading program she built in his name has mailed more than 300 million books.

She wrote "I Will Always Love You" on the same afternoon she wrote "Jolene," as a goodbye to Porter Wagoner, and released it in 1974. Elvis wanted it. The night before the session, Colonel Tom Parker called and said Presley would only record it if they got half the publishing, meaning half of everything the song ever earned. She had been in Nashville ten years by then. She said no, and cried all night. Whitney Houston cut her version in 1992, held number one for fourteen weeks, and Forbes later put Parton's royalties from it near $10 million. She put some of that money into an office complex in Nashville and called the place the house that Whitney built.

Dollywood opened in Pigeon Forge in 1986 because she wanted paychecks in the county she came from. Around 4,000 people work there now. Three million visitors come every year. The University of Tennessee put its economic impact at $1.8 billion, and it is the largest employer in Sevier County. Since 2022 the company has paid tuition, fees, and books in full for every worker from their first day, seasonal hires included.

Wildfires tore through those mountains in November 2016, killing fourteen people and destroying more than 2,400 buildings. Her foundation was handing out money within 48 hours. Every family that lost a home got $1,000 a month for six months, regardless of income. The final check was $5,000. Total delivered: $8.9 million.

In April 2020 she sent $1 million to Vanderbilt for coronavirus research. When Moderna's vaccine results ran in the New England Journal of Medicine that November, her fund appeared in the footnotes.

Carl Dean, her husband of nearly sixty years, died in March 2025. The note she wrote to fans afterward ended with the same five words she wrote for Porter Wagoner back in 1974. She died in Nashville today. Her family asked that instead of flowers, people give to the Imagination Library, which still mails 3.4 million books a month to children who will never get to meet her.

One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days!

Wow!

What a thing to claim!

And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it.

Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄

I sat with a founder recently who had just raised a good round. Almost immediately, he got slower. They had raised, and he felt they were supposed to behave like a much larger company: OKRs, a responsibilities matrix, quarterly planning, etc. But the team was still only a handful of people. The two-week goals they used during the batch worked much better for them!

We did our own version of this mistake at Algolia. Our first HR hire wanted to build a career framework. The idea sounded good to me, I wanted people to be able to see how they could grow. But it backfired. People started looking at the ladder instead of what the company needed.

Processes are good when they can help make things faster. Hiring and support are good examples. But don't put in place processes that are going to slow you down!

Do the thing that gets you users. OKRs can wait.

Yes, a lawyer will defend you even if he knows you are guilty. But a lawyer will not break the law for you, and a lawyer is additionally constrained by ethical codes, one of whose principles is that “my client told me to do it” is *not* an excuse for violation. Lawyers are not the unambiguous agents of their clients, and if they were, the legal system as we know it would not function.

Those ethical codes, which constrain the provision of a service that is fundamental to individual liberty (legal services), are generally not set by legislatures but instead promulgated by private, self-governing bodies called bar associations.

These rules include explicit provisions for lawyers to act *against* the interest of their client and sometimes even to violate the client’s confidentiality. For example, if a lawyer learns their client has submitted false evidence and cannot get the client themselves to correct it, the lawyer is obligated by extra-legal guild rules to violate your confidentiality and expose the false evidence to the court. The notion that the attorney-client relationship is a sound basis for AI-human relationships is often rooted, I think, in a caricatured conception of the former.

Duties of loyalty tend to obtain in the domains of human activity most crucial to life, liberty, and the pursuit of property (law, medicine, fiduciaries, etc). They are “heavily regulated” because they are exceptionally important. I fully expect that there will be contexts when a duty of loyalty should govern an interaction with an AI. But I’d also wager they’ll be the exception to the rule and should not obtain when an AI is eg trying to secure me a coveted spot in a gym class.

In general: many of the ethics codes that undergird professions like the law emerged out of an effort by the profession itself to (in no particular order) (1) protect itself (2) protect clients and (3) protect clients/maintain social order as they understood it in their time. So perhaps what we need is an ethics code for AI.

And come to think of it, this isn’t actually that different from what a Constitution/Model Spec does at an elementary level. Perhaps these documents will one day be come to be seen as v0.1 of something much richer to follow, a private code of conduct that both reflects and shapes the laws, institutions, and norms that surround it. The seeds of AI’s future duties of loyalty may well have already been planted.

This is a lie. Crime is simply NOT out of control. Why lie? This is the actual reason politicians get a bad name.

Recent Metropolitan Police data shows London’s homicide rate at a record low of 1.1 per 100,000 in 2025, the fewest homicides since 2014, while knife-enabled crime has fallen 11–17% year-on-year and phone thefts dropped around 12%.

Where is this fictional ‘out of control’ crime, Matt?

Wife (and kids) operate a 'wear once, then throw in the washing basket' policy. Including jeans / hoodies etc, worn for only a couple of hours indoors. I take them out of the basket and put them back into their drawers when everyone has gone to bed.

[Jack Dart @JackWDart]

As someone who lives in London and who doesn’t traditionally vote Labour, it is one of the best cities in the world and that is because of Sadiq Khan.

As a Londoner, I proudly note that under Sadiq Khan, the capital has achieved its lowest homicide rate on record (1.1 per 100,000).

He has delivered universal free school meals for all primary pupils, frozen TfL fares multiple times to support households, driven record levels of council housebuilding, planted over 640,000 trees, expanded the cycle network, and supported more than 330,000 new jobs. The ULEZ expansion has helped reduce air pollution-linked deaths by an estimated 40% (Imperial College research).

London is safer, greener, and fairer in many measurable ways, one of the world’s great cities. Done listen to these people who only ever talk down our great capital.

UK tax has gone up significantly over the last 25 years

But the tax paid by the average UK worker has not

This apparent miracle was achieved by taxing “other people”: higher earners, capital, property, banks, etc

The strategy has run out of road

Almost 10,000 likes for straight-up lies by Annunziata Rees-Mogg, quote:

"Asylum seekers make up 0.08% of Dorset's population and 44% of alleged sex offences. So unbelievable I had to check. It's true."

It's not true, it's utter garbage.

Why did Farage run scared from news interviews today?

It’s because there’s something fishy about the £5 million he took. And he knows it.

He’s normally very happy to shout from a TV studio -as long as he controls the terms.

The truth is that cash wasn’t for Reform.
