At least Thomas Tuchel wasn't negative like Gareth Southgate...

Consistent with the simulation hypothesis.

Like a video game, objects are randomly generated, with positional certainty only when observed.

[Izabella Kaminska @izakaminska]

I have owned a £10 premium bond since 1979. It was given to me as a Christening present (at a time when it was very vogue to give such presents). Like a modern stablecoin, it synthesizes interest by making you eligible for randomized gifts and awards.

Technically, you’re entered into a monthly prize draw and have the same chances as everyone else.

The draw supposedly uses a dedicated random-number system called ERNIE (Electronic Random Number Indicator Equipment).

ERNIE has been in use since 1957, although the system has been upgraded multiple times.

In 2019, NS&I introduced the fifth-generation machine, “ERNIE 5”, which supposedly uses quantum technology (light-based random number generation) rather than the older thermal noise approach.

I have no idea if ERNIE 5 is reliable or not.

All I know is that every now and then, I like to check in on my bond to confirm it is indeed the worst random-income investment a godparent could ever have gifted their godchild.

I am glad to report, as of today, that is still the case.

Bloody hell, this is actually embarrassing. They really think people are so stupid don't they 😂

🔥 UNBELIEVABLE. Beth Rigby just obliterated Keir Starmer on live TV.

“You haven’t ended chaos. YOU ARE THE CHAOS.”

This wasn’t an interview — it was a demolition.

Starmer looked evasive, robotic, emotionless… and completely incapable of giving a straight answer.

For 10 solid minutes, Beth pressed him on ONE simple question:

Will you keep your promise not to raise taxes on working people?

And Starmer crumbled:

Dodged the question
Repeated empty slogans
Hid behind excuses
Refused to repeat a manifesto pledge

Blamed everyone except himself

A total car crash.

By the end, Beth had exposed him completely:

Broken promises.
Broken leadership.
Broken government.

Starmer didn’t end chaos.

He is the chaos.

@UKLabour I got a train from Korat to Nong Khai in Thailand the other day. It was a 6 hour trip and it cost me about £1. The train prices in the UK are an absolute disgrace, and freezing them at unaffordable prices is not something to be proud of

[Jon Fielding @jonfielding1987]

Focusing on the tiny tiny minority of people that got arrested is insane. Yes, the violence is unacceptable but how about addressing the huge number of peaceful protesters. Guess what, they're not far-right or fascist. Just normal people who want change (literally your one job)

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

People have a right to peaceful protest. It is core to our country’s values.

But we will not stand for assaults on police officers doing their job or for people feeling intimidated on our streets because of their background or the colour of their skin.

Britain is a nation proudly built on tolerance, diversity and respect. Our flag represents our diverse country and we will never surrender it to those that use it as a symbol of violence, fear and division.

[Katharine Birbalsingh @Miss_Snuffy]

Wokeness teaches young ppl that leftist views on race, sexuality and religion are what morality is, and must be defended, as Abaraonye said ‘by any means necessary’.

Schools fail daily in teaching basic morality and universal humanity because we immerse children in woke ideology which divides us: Abaraonye is a product of this.

He doesn’t understand the sanctity of life and how it debases him to mock Kirk’s death, a man he not only knew, but who (unlike Abaraonye) had enough respect to dress appropriately for their Oxford Union debate.

Abaraonye showed Kirk the same lack of respect then, as he does now.

I hang my head in shame as a teacher for my profession. Abaraonye has no moral compass and while he is responsible for himself, we too carry the blame.

Abaraonye is a consequence of the moral degeneracy we have been promoting for decades. 🥺

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

This is the fairest assessment of the Unite the Kingdom rally.

Sir Trevor Phillips went and saw normal, decent folk, a diverse crowd and hymns being sung. Those tarring it as “far-right” are projecting their own bigotry.

@KamalaHarris @mcuban The American economy is on the brink and it's happened under you and Biden. Why would anyone believe you have a plan to turn it around?
