@AJA_Cortes Could you talk about neck herniations and what best exercise to do to recover? Thank you

You can tell a lot about a person by how they react when someone dies.

Under the pretext of banning under-16s from social media to “protect the children,” Keir Starmer has snuck in some small print that should make Americans really glad that all the tea was dumped into the Boston harbour back in 1773.

Adults will still be “allowed” to use the platforms… once they’ve handed over facial recognition, digital ID, passport, or credit card details to prove they’re not a child.

So it was never really about the kids. It was about making sure every single person who wants to speak online has to first tell the government exactly who they are.

Step 1: Link your real identity to your speech

Step 2: police have a lovely searchable database of every spicy take, meme, or complaint you’ve ever posted

Step 3: bring in the consequences - arrests, travel ban, debunking, for out-of-bounds speech

The UK is in a free fall.

@VFTLpodcast @JamesTMaw @jaydmharris @kvlmason Why are referees such a protected class in football. We criticise players/managers/chairman but week after week we see referees in the premier league turning in horrendous performances (e.g.Sunderland). Despite these poor performances we rarely see any criticism from journalists.

Spain froze rents and capped increases at 2%, but rent control is already cutting supply by up to 50% and not improving conditions for renters. Spain should follow Argentina, which ended rent control in 2023 and has seen housing supply rise 180%, reports Cato’s @hiperfalcon.

Now it's time for everyone on X to switch from experts on Venezuela to experts on Iran.

@InvertTheWing I don't think you know what "literally" means

[Peter Girnus 🦅 @gothburz]

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees.

$30 per seat per month.

$1.4 million annually.

I called it "digital transformation."

The board loved that phrase.

They approved it in eleven minutes.

No one asked what it would actually do.

Including me.

I told everyone it would "10x productivity."

That's not a real number.

But it sounds like one.

HR asked how we'd measure the 10x.

I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards."

They stopped asking.

Three months later I checked the usage reports.

47 people had opened it.

12 had used it more than once.

One of them was me.

I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds.

It took 45 seconds.

Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations.

But I called it a "pilot success."

Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail.

The CFO asked about ROI.

I showed him a graph.

The graph went up and to the right.

It measured "AI enablement."

I made that metric up.

He nodded approvingly.

We're "AI-enabled" now.

I don't know what that means.

But it's in our investor deck.

A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT.

I said we needed "enterprise-grade security."

He asked what that meant.

I said "compliance."

He asked which compliance.

I said "all of them."

He looked skeptical.

I scheduled him for a "career development conversation."

He stopped asking questions.

Microsoft sent a case study team.

They wanted to feature us as a success story.

I told them we "saved 40,000 hours."

I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up.

They didn't verify it.

They never do.

Now we're on Microsoft's website.

"Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot."

The CEO shared it on LinkedIn.

He got 3,000 likes.

He's never used Copilot.

None of the executives have.

We have an exemption.

"Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction."

I wrote that policy.

The licenses renew next month.

I'm requesting an expansion.

5,000 more seats.

We haven't used the first 4,000.

But this time we'll "drive adoption."

Adoption means mandatory training.

Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches.

But completion will be tracked.

Completion is a metric.

Metrics go in dashboards.

Dashboards go in board presentations.

Board presentations get me promoted.

I'll be SVP by Q3.

I still don't know what Copilot does.

But I know what it's for.

It's for showing we're "investing in AI."

Investment means spending.

Spending means commitment.

Commitment means we're serious about the future.

The future is whatever I say it is.

As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

Do you believe me now that the bull market structure in $BTC is broken?

I still see people talking about this being a bull. Tough to watch really

@SpursOfficial Shocking decision.

[Vikram Khasriya @v2k987]

@AlasdairGold @Matt_Law_DT Just cannot understand this decision. Best Spurs moment of my lifetime delivered by Ange. He isn't a loser so will do well away from Spurs.

@SpursOfficial @EASPORTSFC We don't have anyone left

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Trudeau, without a court order, froze the bank accounts of those protesting his policies. Where’s the tolerance, freedom, consent or even integrity in that?

@1MikeFairclough Absolutely disgusting. They should be held to account.

[Konstantin Kisin @KonstantinKisin]

I used to find it mind-boggling that some people are vehemently opposed to meritocracy. Why would you be against being rewarded for how skilled and hard-working you are?

And then I read the previous sentence back and it all suddenly made sense.
