@deathinparadise 2nd episode when Richard just wants a cup of tea and sees the bride harpooned off the balcony. Neville skydiving. Humphrey cricket match.

Robbie Williams homage to Paulie Walnuts at the World Cup Final in New Jersey

I will accept Nigel Farage’s request to be appointed Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead.

It is a farce and a desperate distraction, and the people of Clacton deserve better.

But if he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, I won't stop him.

Who needs mysterious Thai-based crypto-billionaires or convicted criminals called Posh George? You can support Team Binface by bunging me the cost of a trio of affordable croissants (£3) at https://t.co/F8x87pEplq. Or don’t. I love you either way.

The UK NHS currently spends around £75.5 million a year on translation and interpreting.

The spend represents just a tiny fraction of the booming global interpretation opportunity of $7.8b, where AI solutions like BabelBit can deliver major efficiency and scale.

This concept video gives context as to the problem that Doctors (and patients) experience on a daily basis, and how Babelbit’s technology can make a difference, not just on budget, but in saving lives.

On my way, Clacton.

This must be how Rocky felt going to the Soviet Union to fight Ivan Drago.

Oh just one more thing, Belgium.

Referee down with cramp. That's a new one.

@SwarmSubnet Swarm Score collab to replace referees in football ⚽

@The_RUFC If we'd stuck with Taylor, we probably would have been in a relegation fight, given the away form. But it would have been a fight, not a whimper. Richardson may be the worst manager we've ever had, full calendar month without a shot on target at one point.

When @WWE are in the UK, they call it Clash at the Castle. They're in Italy, and it's called Clash in Italy. Surely Clash at the Colosseum would be a better name.

Getting into The Darts. Littler's the heel, yeah?

[Sir Escanor (𝘏𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘶𝘮 𝘚𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘦𝘳) @EscanorReloaded]

CEOs are quietly realizing the AI replacement plan has a problem.
Two problems, actually.

One: the token costs for running AI agents are now exceeding what they were paying the employees they fired.

Two: when the tokens run out, the AI stops. Just stops. No continuity. No workaround. Just a spinning wheel where your workforce used to be.

You fired humans to save money and bought a subscription that bills you into a corner.

The employees you let go knew what to do when things broke.
The AI just invoices you for the outage.

And then there’s the permission problem nobody wants to talk about.

To do its job, the AI agent needs access. Full access. Your systems, your patents, your contracts, your future plans. Everything you spent years building, handed over to a process that has no loyalty, no discretion, and no skin in the game.

You didn’t hire a replacement.
You gave a stranger with no soul the keys to everything you own.

Enjoy.

Great to see @mdrcrooks and @SemiAjayi promoted to the premier league. Wish it could have happened with the Millers but that was never too likely. Congratulations guys, enjoy it, see you on MOTD next season.
