Amazing how the moment you see Pizza Express trend, you know exactly what it's about.

Aston Villa will initiate legal action against Jamie Carragher for his unacceptable insults about the Club and its fans. Aston Villa will not allow anyone to stop our ascension in English and European football. Nassef Sawiris, Chairman

Walking out of uni, or doing a bootcamp for 16 weeks does NOT make you a Software Engineer - you're a junior programmer. If you've seen a project pass through design, implementation, maintenance, through maturity to eventual replacement, you're getting close.

One for @AdamMcKola and @Chelsearory Has Buvey asked if he can stay on The Club if they get sent down to D2 yet? And when they do get sent down, would you replace him with @lozcast ? 😂 #900millionDudeks

New @woobHQ 1194 ordered - black/white, 262980+CD, snow crash and now kaleidoscope... Paul - question for you. Any chance you could autograph one or two? I've a feeling you live pretty close by 😂

Waiting for a rainforest downpour to beging, just to act as a volume control for the small group of American tourists by the pool. Seriously, leave the industrial-grade vocal chords at home, keep them for covering up the sound of school shootings...

If you'e never read The Falling Man, you should do so. I post this on September 11th every year, and I find time to read it on this day every year. Still, in my eyes, the greatest piece of journalism I have ever read. esquire.com/news-politics/a4…

BREAKING: OpenAI might have stolen another major proof. In a detailed Mastodon post, which I report in full in the comments, Andreas Thom presents several pieces of evidence suggesting that OpenAI may have trained Astra on conversations in which he and Gábor Kun were working on Gromov’s soficity conjecture, one of the ten problems OpenAI later announced Astra had solved. I know Andreas. We met several times early in our careers. He is an exceptional mathematician, a leading expert on sofic and hyperlinear groups, and one of the most respected scholars in the field. He has spent two decades working on this problem. If his account is correct, this is not a minor dispute over attribution. It would mean that unpublished human work was absorbed into a model and then presented to the world as a breakthrough by the model itself. And if the allegations raised by Levent Alpöge, Tristan Buckmaster, and now Andreas Thom are all substantiated, we are no longer looking at isolated incidents. We may be looking at one of the greatest intellectual scandals in the history of science. AI is not discovering new mathematics. AI is stealing human discovery.

Seriously, why would anyone stick their bits, or head for that matter; in front of this? #Bali #Insta

That's just today - in the same amount of time it took for Insta-Girl to find the perfect boob shot... Seriously, you're just passing through - stop staring at yourself, you just ain't that pretty.

In Bali - three sun loungers, two are what looks like your typical Brit elderly couple, third is some slightly plastic Instagram wannabe trying to jam her boobs down the camera in various bizarre poses. I know for a fact that the elderly couple are having way more fun 😂

What's more, Insta-girl will immediately hop off the lounger having spent ZERO time in even the slightest comfort, face stuck in phone, waiting for attention, eventually going home realising she's missed everything that's actually beautiful about Bali. Today's trip?

I'm fairly certain that anyone on earth would listen very closely if someone said "Here's £500,000, just for you". How you can have a clear conscience AND vote for a money-grubbing grifter like Farage is beyond me...

Order a DJI Pocket 3 camera kit and stand, package arrives, actually get some tyre glue, an MP3 player and an old iPhone case instead. They got the SD card right though... Thanks @AmazonUK - hope the warehouse worker is enjoying making videos 😂

Farage: "Making money is not a crime" Then why are you hiding it then, Nigel?
