@PaulTassi Assuming this final patch is one or two weeks away, this also implies that lay-offs are at most two or three weeks away and on a scale larger than we might have thought.
@Nigel_Farage@BBC You drip with smug sanctimony, yet where's your apology to the parents of the young man whose murder you chose to politicise despite their wishes?
We all know your PR stunt was designed to agitate to benefit yourself. *They* deserve your apology. You don't deserve basic respect.
@ZiaYusufUK "Foreign nationals" include those on work-visas, settled residents and those with IRL.
You haven't got the faintest idea what you're talking about.
@lobrocop@DestinyTheGame It's obvious why they cast you - the integrity, generosity and magnanimity you brought to Lodi are right there for us to see.
When I heard, one of my first thoughts was "We'll never know where Lodi goes." One day I hope @alisontheperson shares the rest of his story with you โค๏ธ
@TheOldWeirdPro It's amazing how it's just become a part of our lives isn't it? One that offers so much - laughs, challenge, connection, even just the ability to switch off for a bit and experience flow.
I'm 55 on Monday and I'm sure I'll still hop on now and then for a run or two of something!
@TimeSausages@Gladd A passing comment from a random guy on the Internet probably won't impact your metrics, but imho your content is already a standout. Your personality and enthusiasm shine through, and the spattering of silliness is bloody wonderful.
@donmcgowan Exactly.
They simply don't care.
About integrity, competence or even the country.
Part of me hopes they get what they want in 2029, because then they'll have nowhere to go.
@BigDaveDrums@Gaz3putt I'm a total stranger, but I wanted to pause after reading your posts - the heft of them just hit different. I lost Mum&Dad 4 months apart in 2022, my chin still wobbles at random reminders and I still miss them. And I kinda love that, because that grief is my connection to them.
@BBCBreakfast Is that 3 or 4 weeks now that Kemi Badenoch has been on live and given free range to spout partisan talking points weeks before local elections?
Balance?
@Ofcom@ElectoralCommUK
@A_dmg04 The og plan was to release the last 4 GM conquests with Shadow & Order, right?
Is there any reason we can't get those imminently? Otherwise we're stuck at 2/6 then the new season starts in June.
@RobertJenrick Wow.
How do you think this makes you look, Bob?
There's clearly a chasm between how you see yourself and how you're seen. I'm keen to help you develop the self-awareness to understand that. Reach out and I'll help.
@GwenneFarrell@goneers Parts of me are still shut down after 3 back to back bereavements in 2022. Not sure I even know which parts. I teared up reading your posts, something I welcome with open arms now because it's teaching me how to show up with all that love.

For the avoidance of doubt, this is not leadership. It's not even performance, because performance implies self-awareness.
It's unhinged, untethered hubris.
I haven't seen anything else from #Hegseth.
This week, Anthropic delivered a master class in arrogance and betrayal as well as a textbook case of how not to do business with the United States Government or the Pentagon.
Our position has never wavered and will never waver: the Department of War must have full, unrestricted access to Anthropicโs models for every LAWFUL purpose in defense of the Republic.
Instead, @AnthropicAI and its CEO @DarioAmodei, have chosen duplicity. Cloaked in the sanctimonious rhetoric of โeffective altruism,โ they have attempted to strong-arm the United States military into submission - a cowardly act of corporate virtue-signaling that places Silicon Valley ideology above American lives.
The Terms of Service of Anthropicโs defective altruism will never outweigh the safety, the readiness, or the lives of American troops on the battlefield.
Their true objective is unmistakable: to seize veto power over the operational decisions of the United States military. That is unacceptable.
As President Trump stated on Truth Social, the Commander-in-Chief and the American people alone will determine the destiny of our armed forces, not unelected tech executives.
Anthropicโs stance is fundamentally incompatible with American principles. Their relationship with the United States Armed Forces and the Federal Government has therefore been permanently altered.
In conjunction with the President's directive for the Federal Government to cease all use of Anthropic's technology, I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a Supply-Chain Risk to National Security. Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic. Anthropic will continue to provide the Department of War its services for a period of no more than six months to allow for a seamless transition to a better and more patriotic service.
Americaโs warfighters will never be held hostage by the ideological whims of Big Tech. This decision is final.
@anactualwalnut I spent weeks in the hospice with my Mum as all her strength finally left her. 4 months later Dad died suddenly and shockingly. Parts of me went with them, but I'm doing my best to let grief teach me new ways to live and love.
Thank you so much for sharing a piece of your story.
