Door to door sales cat was dressed smartly. Loses point for poor finance options and insistence on paying in fish 9/10 @thecatreviewer

I am so emotional over this. I’ve been going to Villa all my life, I was a boy when we last won a major trophy. I watched us go down, watched us lose a play off final, I’ve seen the club on the brink of bankruptcy only to rebuild, overcome and conquer. Thank you #avfc!

@thinkdefence Who? Name names if you want a discussion in good faith. If not well…

Banknote boys.

[Stuart Mitchell @SBTMitchell]

I am in favour of animals being on bank notes so long as the animals in question are all just pics of my cats. https://t.co/KcT0oiDj1M

@afneil These cock-sure proclamations of everything wrong are easy now, but hindsight is 20/20, very few can hand on heart say they demanded greater defence spending in the midst of the financial crisis, the austerity years or even on the eve of 2022. Defence spending doesn’t win votes.

@AVFCOfficial So long and thanks for all the memes.

@AndyAitcheson @BO3673 He and I have gone to Villa together for years. You can think what you like about his other areas of work but I’ll tell you right now he’s a proper fan.

Villa nail five wins in a row meaning we can all get our hair cut…

FT: Spurs 1-2 #AVFC

Villa register a 5th straight win across all comps, with this the biggest. Showed they still retain that edge/grit to find a way to win tough. Increasingly the more coherent in possession and better structured overall, winning the game with a brilliant goal.

“I had read Hemingway and Remarque for years. I thought they knew everything about war. But they didn’t know mine.”

@RichardAyoade How’s the dove from above getting on?

@AVFCSupport I’m no longer getting the option to download the ticket to my Apple wallet. I only have QR. Why is this? I haven’t changed anything!?

@JE_Maleta @Mr_Andrew_Fox That’s Dr Bitchell to you and no. I’m a government civil servant and will not be commenting on that subject. Great to know you’re up for constructive dialogue. Very adult 👌🏻

[Stuart Mitchell @SBTMitchell]

Really sorry to those of you who signed up to this. It seems the tech gremlins beat us this time and we couldn’t get the attendees into the meeting. (That or were very unpopular!) Stay tuned for a rescheduled event coming soon!

Interesting on the worrying ‘confidence’ of AI. There seems to be a kind of built in ‘wisdom of masses’ assumption that the more times something is repeated in the ‘data set’ the truer it is, which of course, isn’t how history works.

[315e RI @Ri315e]

How AI can be confidently wrong....

Question: “What was the deadliest day in French military history?”

AI Answer: 22nd August 1914.

Sounds plausible right…? but what happens when you question it, knowing its wrong?

🧵on how AI tried to convince me I was wrong...1/9
