Wow. The Rec. Exeter. Bath. One of the greatest ever finishes to a game of rugby in England.

@InTheTrenchesUK your tragic, longwinded attack on me is the sort of stuff one expects to emerge from people’s bedroom laptops. However, I’d strongly recommend you delete the post because it risks contempt of court and you could a) jeopardise a trial and b) be sent to prison.

Not content with her truly bizarre, essay-long, ChatGPT assisted (?) rant against me and my family - in which she included my X handle before promptly blocking me - Beverley Turner now wants you to believe that my grandparents having been forced to flee for their lives from Nazi Austria demonstrates my deep “Establishment” credentials. All because I posted a clip of her claiming that a riot wasn’t a riot.

[Matthew Stadlen @MatthewStadlen]

Quite possibly the most extraordinary exchange I’ve ever been involved in on TV.

Princess Diana’s Sunken Garden at Kensington Palace is beautiful and right in the middle of London

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.

The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.

Access to all other Claude models is not affected.

We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

[Joe Powell MP @josephpowell]

Well done @MatthewStadlen for calling out this nonsense.

[Sachin Tendulkar @sachin_rt]

From the time I started playing cricket, Kane Williamson has been one of the most technically compact and magnificent batters I have seen. Balance, timing, and that trademark calm at the crease came together to make his batting one of the most consistently pleasing sights in world cricket. A thorough gentleman and a true role model for youngsters.

His retirement will probably be received with unexpected relief in more than a few bowling camps. Wishing him luck and success in his next chapter.

[Al Carns @AlistairCarns]

The next war won't be won by armies, navies or air forces alone.

It'll be won by the country whose 19 year olds can code, whose factories can build drones in weeks not years, and whose grid stays on when someone tries to switch it off.

Industry. Society. Economy. That's the fight now.

We're not ready. And we're not being honest about what getting ready will cost.

[Matthew Stadlen @MatthewStadlen]

@supertanskiii @beverleyturner That’s one way of putting it :)

[Matthew Stadlen @MatthewStadlen]

Even by your standards, Bev, this is truly desperate stuff. Bringing up my dad, uncle and grandparents in your desperation for people to un-see an exchange that they can’t un-see, is utterly bizarre. Our “debate” speaks for itself.

It would be impossible for me to be prouder of my father, uncle and grandparents, all four remarkable human beings. That said, I would never, ever involve your family in a public exchange. I’d recommend taking some time away from the keyboard.

Lucky enough to have filmed with David Hockney at his home in London. He was a real character and obviously a master artist. A great British icon. RIP.

[Matthew Stadlen @MatthewStadlen]

A generational player and a true gentleman.

[BLACKCAPS @BLACKCAPS]

One of our greatest ever, signing off.

Kane Williamson has announced his retirement from international cricket effective immediately.

Calling out Trump’s disgusting bigotry. Never let it become normal.

After his latest hapless media appearance today, it seems that it's Rob Key, not Ben Stokes, who should be considering his position.

[Matthew Stadlen @MatthewStadlen]

@englandcricket Awful from Rob Key.
