I’m going to write shorter threads from now on to make them more manageable to write. They’ll all be listed below in no particular order!

Me, working in a GP surgery, having a consultation and the patient casually asks:

“Did you come to this country by boat?”

At this point, nothing can shock me anymore

Lots of these 1 minute gaps makes me switch off

@iaindunning So you're recommending students not to sign other contracts, but instead to approach HRT?

Very smart Mr Iain.

Tucker Carlson interviews a British doctor who worked in Gaza.

"Four young teenage boys were brought in, all of whom who'd been shot in the testicles."

@macrocephalopod I had the Garmin forerunner 945 (latest is 965 i think), and it was a power house - you won't need a second watch.

Can even save songs on the watch, which connects to your headphones, so you can leave your phone home whilst you go for a run/cycle.

Unexpected career update: my offer to join a PM-led macro pod at Millennium was rescinded shortly before start due to PM/platform changes, unrelated to my candidacy.

I’m now exploring SWE, AI/ML engineering and trading systems roles.

Referrals/leads appreciated.

The most demoralizing chart you will see today

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

Tony Blair is the living embodiment of what happens when political office becomes a down payment on future plunder. Ejected in 2007 by his own MPs as a massive liability, he bequeathed Britain a wild casino economy primed for the 2008 crash. And when the British economy crashed and burned, Mr Blair kept quiet while honing his skills at securing power by other means.

His first job, after his ejection from 10 Downing Street, was as the West’s Middle East envoy, with a supposed emphasis on Gaza. It took six painful years for Mr Blair’s tenure to prove a failure so profound it amounted to active complicity in Israel’s ethnic cleansing, in Palestinian erasure, and in paving the ground for the ongoing genocide.

Soon after, the Chilcot Inquiry demolished Blair’s Iraq lies, exposing him as a liar, a chancer and a war criminal responsible for countless corpses of Iraqis, but also of British soldiers.

Then came Blair’s real innovation: the financialisation of the ex-premiership itself. The Tony Blair Institute, fuelled by £130 million from Oracle's Larry Ellison—coincidentally, the largest individual donor to the Friends of the IDF—became a shadow state, brokering governance contracts for autocrats and companies like Palantir that weaponise AI to produce mega-death abroad and full-on surveillance of Western populations.

Now, in May 2026, this corporate fixer issues a 5700 word tantrum demanding that Labour embrace Trump even more than Starmer already has, denounce what is left of Labour’s betrayed Green New Deal, and trash the remnants of workers' rights. This is not the wisdom of an aging statesman. It is the frantic squirming of a man fearing his grip on oligarchic power might soon wane and whose entire post-10 Downing Street existence depends on preventing the many from ever reclaiming what the few have plundered.
