In case you were wondering if Larry Ellison would use his partial ownership of TIKTok to shut down the exposure of his billionaire buddies and their weirdness, corruption and grifting … wonder no more. TikTok just shut down the media page of the world renowned, Oscar winning director Alex Gibney’s documentary film “MUSK”. The comprehensive documentary on all things Elon. It’s more f&@&’d then you can imagine. The best thing any of us can do now is to go see it! It will blow your mind. Billionaire broke mind virus. Hear it from the people who have known Elon over the years. #BrokeMindVirus

🚨NEW: Dr. Abdul El-Sayed on Trump mocking his middle name Mohamed and calling him a jihadist:

“He says it just fine when he’s begging the Qataris for a private jet or the Saudis for money for his son-in-law’s firm.”

Some post Martinez pipe bomb thoughts. Believe it or not, I can think multiple things are true.

- He is correct the summer wasn’t good enough
- United didn’t have enough available money for a big enough summer to meet his expectations, but still could and should have done more (LB & ST at least)
- Lack of funds is primarily because of 15 years of pissing away their money on bad transfers and astronomical wages. They are still paying for them
- It is Wilcox and INEOS’ fault for not being able to sell players to raise funds to replace the duds that remain
- It is INEOS’ fault for allowing a club culture like this to spring up again under their watch
- United have spent €700m in 3 years, it is not sustainable to keep spending at that rate with no return
- In order to maintain that spending, United need to be in the CL. They’ve been in it for 2 of the last 5 seasons
- Senior players will feel the same as Martinez and are checking out, which is understandable
- But that checking out in turn will mean United fall short of qualifying for the CL without huge change to the coach, presumably
- Wilcox has to go. Carrick probably has to go. Senior players who have been there too long HAVE to go
- They need a coach who will get the MAX out of this squad regardless of how it feels
- People are scared the whole club will burn down after a coach like Conte storms out after being brought in but are we not at that point already
- We’re QUITE fucked

In 2008, at age 30 while at Liverpool, Jamie Carragher publicly attacked the club's owners in his autobiography, also criticising manager Rafa Benitez.

He said he felt physically ill at them making a profit on the club, accusing them of planning to build a new stadium to make money & increase the club's value.

The owners also broke their vow not to load debt onto the club from the leveraged buyout, causing yearly interest payments. Jeez, sounds eerily similar huh.

Almost as if he & Lisandro Martinez have a bit in common here, except that this is personal to him. Should he have written a book instead, @Carra23?

Things we learned recently:

-Data centers are bot farms

-Bot farms sway elections

-Billionaires want data centers

Do the math.

Every billionaire "started in a garage" story conveniently leaves out the parental loans, elite university connections, and safety nets. Bezos got $300k from his parents. Gates' mom was on IBM's board. Musk's family owned an emerald mine. The garage is aesthetics. The capital is inherited. Stop calling it self-made when it's generationally funded.

[Terry Flewers @terryflewers]

The idea that Sir Alex Ferguson built Manchester United with a bottomless transfer budget needs challenging.

From 1992 to 2001, United were only the 10th-highest spenders. From 2001 to 2013Chelsea spent 53.4% more, City 23.8% more and Liverpool 2.2% more, while Spurs spent only 8% less.

United absolutely had money and broke transfer records at times. Nobody should deny that.

But the narrative that Ferguson simply outspent everybody with resources exponentially greater than his rivals is false.

Money helped. Ferguson’s genius made the difference.

2011/12

Owner-funded money: £70.75m

New signings removed:
Sergio Agüero - £36m
Samir Nasri - £24m
Stefan Savić - £15m
Costel Pantilimon - £5m

These players, alongside those removed in previous seasons, scored 54 Premier League goals for Man City that season.

After removing those goals:

Actual: 1st - 89 points
Revised: 6th - 60 points

Agüero and Džeko’s goals against QPR on the final day are both removed.

Manchester United win the Premier League with 89 points. 🏆

Re #RAFFairford
1.Police can detain terrorist suspects for 14 days, they needed 1 day so it’s reasonable to assume they’re NOT terrorist suspects
2.If explosives were found, they would be charged, they weren’t, so we can assume there were none
3.Leave the police to do their job

Britain has a patriotism problem. And it involves the very rich:

Ex-Prince Andrew passed confidential trade documents Epstein

Sir Jim Ratcliffe offshores his wealth to avoid paying billions in tax.

Peter Mandelson is investigated for passing market sensitive information to Epstein

Remember, while the powerful get us fighting each other we forget to focus on them.

[ACORN the union @ACORNunion]

Jim Ratcliffe loves welfare. He just thinks it should be for billionaires.

[Michael Spicer @MrMichaelSpicer]

I cannot tell you what absolute fiction this is. AI is heading for a crash and this cackhanded Terminator narrative is being engineered to save them. The fact that the unsubstantiated testimony of a former employee has been the top story on BBC News all day is absurd and irresponsible.

This attention-seeking whistleblower will probably be using his newfound fame to launch his own AI startup soon you watch. It's utter nonsense. The world's not going to end. AI will never be able to build bioweapons. It still struggles to spell rhododendron. Put the kettle on. Enjoy your Sunday night.

Oh fuck off. You are not Oppenheimer. You are not Heisenberg. You are a money-hungry hack with a god complex and your hubris is going to kill us all.

I’ll say it because the commentators never do…

You can clearly hear us shouting ‘We Want Glazers Out’ while 3-0 up in our UCL return.

No we don’t just ‘complain when things go wrong’, we’ve always been unequivocal with it.

Love United. Hate the Glazers. 🔰

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

In a difficult and dangerous world, a decade on from Brexit, there is a risk that Britain loses the confidence to lead and stand up for its values.

I’m not prepared to let that happen. It is more important than ever that Britain stands for something.

We have called for years for a two-state solution in the Middle East, but we must recognise that those words are meaningless unless we back them up with action.

For too long, we have been hesitant to act, fearful of being accused of being anti-Israel.

Today we are announcing carefully judged, targeted steps that are not aimed at the Israeli people, but at the unacceptable policies of the current Israeli government.

The suffering of the Palestinian people is a scar on the conscience of the world. Innocent Palestinians, including children, continue to be killed in Gaza. And there is still a humanitarian crisis, with far too little aid getting in.

The scale of destruction is hard to comprehend. More than 70,000 people lie dead - at least 20,000 of them children. Families and communities have been torn apart. Millions displaced. And the population of Gaza is now penned into just one third of the territory.

I know that people across the UK feel very deeply about this issue - and so do I.

Before I became Prime Minister, I said our country’s response had been too slow and simply not good enough. That’s why I committed to changing the government’s approach.

I will not stand by as the horrific suffering continues to grow and the prospect of a two-state solution - the best hope for peace and stability in the region - comes under attack.

More settlements have been approved under the four years of this Israeli government than in the previous 20 years. The UN has reported more than 1,500 incidents of settler violence so far this year, aimed at driving out Palestinians. And the situation is growing worse, fast.

The Israeli government has now approved 104 new settlements since it took office in December 2022, and ahead of the October elections in Israel, it is allowing tenders for the construction of the E1 mega settlement to go ahead. This would cut a swathe through the heart of the West Bank - snuffing out the hope of realising a two-state solution. It cannot be allowed to happen.

That’s why we are announcing a new package of tough measures to put pressure on the Israeli government:

First, we will ban the trade in goods with illegal settlements in Palestine.

Second, we have formally changed the view of the British government to say for the first time that the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory is unlawful - independent of, but in line with, the conclusion of the international court of justice.

And third, we will sanction individuals and companies that support, facilitate or profit from illegal settlements. That includes any businesses or investors that take part in the construction of the E1 settlement.

In addition, we are announcing a new package of desperately needed humanitarian aid to Gaza.

We are taking these steps because it is the right thing to do.

I have condemned the monstrous terrorist attack on Israel on 7 October 2023 in the strongest possible terms - and continue to condemn Hamas. However, it does not justify the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza or the West Bank.

The measures we are taking are about targeting illegal settlements and increasing the pressure on the Israeli government to change course. We are not imposing sanctions on Israel as a whole, which would punish the Israeli people, many of whom disagree with their government’s position.

The Israeli people are not responsible for the actions of their government. And nor is the Jewish community in the UK. Blaming British Jews for the actions of Benjamin Netanyahu’s government is wrong, plain and simple. And it is antisemitism, plain and simple.

I met the representatives of the Jewish community just last week. I know the fear they live with day by day. My government will stop at nothing to ensure they are safe and to stamp out antisemitism in every part of our society.

The measures we are announcing today are about protecting the only solution that could see the Israeli and Palestinian people living side by side in peace and security - something that people up and down the UK desperately want to see.

The government I lead will keep working with our partners around the world to keep that hope alive.

Let me get this straight... OpenAl was founded as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. "To benefit humanity." Then he raised billions of dollars. Then he closed the source code. Then he converted to for-profit. Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone. Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models. Now he's on stage saying you'll pay HIM to access intelligence. Just like a water meter. He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he's going to bill you to use it... Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they're not even hiding it anymore...
