The Pantheon. 10:30 am and 11:30 am. Showing the effect of the light descending to floor level, positioned perfectly to illuminate the doorway every year at noon on Rome’s birthday, April 21, as the emperor entered as if illuminated by a celestial spotlight. Heck of a visual effect.

@PopulismUpdates The UK Lib Dems showed how to do it in the July 2024 election. Constant attention-gathering campaign stunts resulted in a best-ever finish.

@jordanhenderson @kneelesh48 @SyadySyarief @peer_rich @browsercompany @OpenAI P.S. A "remedy" keeping Chrome near-monopoly perpetuating GOOG's search index monopoly is no true remedy.

If remedy forces Google to pay any browser via open APIs for clean search traffic, then ARPU lower & GOOG-to-browser revshare <100%, likely <30%.

A lot of "if"s here!

So now the left want to buy tanks, the right want to buy EVs, the UK Labour govt is pro-austerity, the Austrians have an affinity for QE, the Chinese are looking to boost consumption & the Germans are fiscal keynesians.

And Trump took office less than two months ago

It is undeniable that more men cycle than women, but building safe infrastructure (safety being a key barrier to cycling for women), ensures more people will have the confidence to cycle. This morning here, 20 cyclists in this clip, 11 of whom are women.

For those who keep telling me that #Russia’s invasion of #Ukraine was somehow provoked by the West, here is a bit of chronology to consider. Time for a reality check. Enough said. #StandWithUkraine

@chadskelton @steve36446 The convention is that when there is a tie, the Speaker votes in such a way as to either maintain the status quo or continue debate to enable the House to come to its own conclusion without her/him. Has an impact on procedural votes (eg closure).

After months of digging and reporting, I have learned where Facebook's bizarre AI spam (like "Shrimp Jesus") comes from, who is making it, how it works, and how it is monetized.

Turns out Meta is directly paying people to spam FB with this stuff
