So many of us see ourselves in this little girl. Frustrated and angry at being wrapped up like a corpse. We want to breathe. We want to live.

A multi-millionaire Eton-educated Tory who lives in an area that’s c.95% White.
His definition of English and British is a luxury belief. He doesn’t have to suffer the consequences of his words. Transnationalism is just as absurd as transgenderism, and deep down Rees-Mogg knows it. There’s no way he genuinely believes our country still looks and feels as English as it did when he was a child.
Some people call on Restore Britain to be a part of a “Unite the Right” campaign - but with the likes of Rees-Mogg, that will never be possible.

WE NEED THESE FACES EVERYWHERE! The Met Police have released images of two men after a 13-year-old girl was led into Weavers Fields park and raped, in London
Crimestoppers are offering a £10,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of those responsible.
@englishexit As a child I was told at a history museum (Galleries of Justice, Nottingham) that Irish settlers to America were prisoners being used for slave labour?
In 1948, a 32-year-old at Bell Labs published a paper nobody fully understood.
Engineers found it too mathematical. Mathematicians found it too engineering-focused. One prominent mathematician reviewed it negatively.
That paper - "A Mathematical Theory of Communication", became the founding document of the digital age.
The man was Claude Shannon. Father of Information Theory.
At 21, he wrote the most important master's thesis of the 20th century.
Working at MIT on an early mechanical computer, Shannon noticed its relay switches had exactly two states - open or closed. He had just taken a philosophy course introducing Boolean algebra, which also operated on two values: true and false.
Nobody had ever connected these two things.
His 1937 thesis proved that Boolean algebra and electrical circuits are mathematically identical, and that any logical operation could be built from simple switches.
Howard Gardner called it "possibly the most important, and also the most famous, master's thesis of the century."
Every digital computer ever built traces back to this insight.
At 29, he proved that perfect encryption exists.
During WWII, Shannon worked on classified cryptography at Bell Labs. His work contributed to SIGSALY, the secure voice system used for confidential communications between Roosevelt and Churchill.
In a classified 1945 memorandum, he mathematically proved the one-time pad provides perfect secrecy, unbreakable not just computationally, but provably, permanently, against an adversary with infinite power.
When declassified in 1949, it transformed cryptography from an art into a science. It laid the foundations for DES, AES, and every modern encryption standard.
At 32, he defined what information is.
His 1948 paper introduced one equation:
H = −Σ p(x) log p(x)
Shannon entropy. The average uncertainty in a probability distribution. The minimum bits required to encode a message.
Three things followed:
> He defined the bit - the fundamental unit of all information. His colleague John Tukey coined the name.
> He proved the channel capacity theorem, every communication channel has a maximum rate of reliable transmission. You can approach it. You can never exceed it.
> He unified telegraph, telephone, and radio into a single mathematical framework for the first time.
Robert Lucky of Bell Labs called it the greatest work "in the annals of technological thought."
Where his equation lives in AI today:
Cross-entropy loss - the function training every classifier and language model, is derived directly from H. Decision tree splits use information gain, which is H applied to data. Perplexity, the standard LLM evaluation metric, is an exponentiation of cross-entropy.
Every time a neural network trains, Shannon's formula runs inside it.
He also built the first AI learning device.
In 1950, Shannon built Theseus, a mechanical mouse that navigated a maze through trial and error, learned the correct path, and repeated it perfectly. Mazin Gilbert of Bell Labs said: "Theseus inspired the whole field of AI."
That same year he published the first paper on programming a computer to play chess. He co-organized the 1956 Dartmouth Workshop, the founding event of AI as a field.
The man:
He rode a unicycle through Bell Labs hallways while juggling. He built a flame-throwing trumpet, a rocket-powered Frisbee, and Styrofoam shoes to walk on the lake behind his house.
He called his home Entropy House.
When asked what motivated him: "I was motivated by curiosity. Never by the desire for financial gain. I just wondered how things were put together."
In 1985, he appeared unexpectedly at a conference in Brighton. The crowd mobbed him for autographs. Persuaded to speak at the banquet, he talked briefly, then pulled three balls from his pockets and juggled instead.
One engineer said: "It was as if Newton had showed up at a physics conference."
He died in 2001 after a decade with Alzheimer's, the cruel irony of information slowly leaving the mind of the man who defined what information was.
Claude, the AI model, is named after Claude Shannon, the mathematician who laid the foundation for the digital world we rely on today.
🚨 IF THEY CAN’T PASS AN AUDIT, THEY CAN’T RAISE YOUR TAXES.
I’ve launched a petition to make this law:
❌ Fail audit = no tax rises and no bigger budget.
❌ Fail two years running = those responsible cannot stand for re-election.
Politicians should not be allowed to demand more of your money when they cannot properly account for the money they already have.
If you agree, please sign and share my petition.

On a réussi le plus gros scam idéologique du XXe siècle : coller Hitler dans la case « extrême droite ».
Prenez l’intégralité du programme économique nazi (pas les citations sorties de leur contexte) :
- contrôle des prix et des salaires
- planification industrielle massive
- nationalisations et étatisation de pans entiers de l’économie
- stigmatisation des « profiteurs » et des « capitalistes » comme boucs émissaires
- obsession du contrôle de la localisation du capital et de la production
Remplacez quelques mots et vous avez exactement la même logique que celle d’un Bernie Sanders ou de n’importe quel socialiste qui veut « reprendre le contrôle » sur l’économie au nom du peuple contre les élites.
Le national-socialisme n’était pas « de droite » parce qu’il était autoritaire et raciste. Il était socialiste dans sa structure économique et dans sa méthode : désigner un bouc émissaire, concentrer le pouvoir, et planifier.
Appeler ça « droite » a permis à la gauche de se laver les mains de tout totalitarisme économique pendant 80 ans. Et c’est exactement ce qui pourrit encore le débat politique aujourd’hui.
If 30 Christians had been massacred in a European village because of their faith, it would dominate the news for days. Yet when it happens in Nigeria, the world barely notices.
Reports say at least 28–30 people, including women and children, were murdered in Kaduna State after armed attackers stormed a Christian community in the early hours of this morning.
This isn't an isolated incident. I, personally, have been talking about this for over a decade.
Christian advocacy groups estimate that almost 10 Christians are killed every day in Nigeria.
The equivalent of 7/10 in Israel happens almost every single week, in Nigeria. Women butchered, gangraped, brutalised and kidnapped - their menfolk hacked to death.
Whether you're Christian or not, people should not be slaughtered because of their faith. The victims deserve the same outrage, the same media attention, and the same calls for justice as anyone else.
Why is this story not front-page news?

@ABridgen I swear this climate crisis with all the wildfires has something to do with climate change caused by the 12,000 data centres - 1,000 of which are mind bogglingly massive! I swear this is why there is no rain as all the water is unnaturally harvested for coolant!
Over 350 Christians, including up to 60 children, were massacred and burned alive by Islamists in Nigeria between the 5th and 6th of July. Entire communities were slaughtered, churches burned and destroyed.
And yet complete silence from the world, and no word from the UN.
Yesterday 3 Men risked their own lives without Hesitation to save 2 young children at Seaton beach in Hartlepool. 3 men on a mission to save children drowning and this was the only surviving Man.
This Man dragged one poor child out the water and saved their life, this needs sharing to reach the man so he knows what he done yesterday was unbelievable and we all thank him ❤️
Our hearts go out to the other families involved in this heartbreaking incident😢
Skegness official.
❤️ DAVEY SHORT ❤️
