Men are now breaking up with girlfriends who support Lindsay Clancy, and honestly, good for them.
A Lindsay Clancy defender is not who you want as the mother of your own future children.

This wasn't allowed in public incase it offended anyone. So please don't retweet it. Thanks 🙏dutchbarn.com

They're literally only doing this because thousands of accounts on X shared the footage and forced them to act. Imagine how many other incidents like this are quietly covered up.

Rupert Lowe is the only politician in Britain worth voting for. Everybody else is playing the game.

I love Opus as a model, and was excited to see where Mythos etc would lead, but Claude Code is an unusable product and terrible UX. This compared to other harnesses on the market, Claude Code easily sits at the bottom. The fact you don't allow me to use MY subscription with harnesses like Pi or OpenCode, is a deal breaker for me given the GPT 5.5 is now just as good as Opus in most scenarios, and I can use MY sub how I choose. Hell, I can even use it with Hermes. It's a no-brainer to be honest.
Your behaviour as it pertains to using MY subscription is anti-consumer at best, and malicious at worst. Given that your models are now no longer standing so far ahead of OpenAI and even some open-weight models as they used to, which WAS your USP, there is no real motivation to stay with you or your anti-consumer practices. You don't care about your customers, only your shareholders, so good luck with that, but you'll never get my money again - the trust is gone. Good riddance.

Farmer: "Gentlemen. I'd like to present the ultimate plant-based protein technology."
Investor 1: "We're listening."
Farmer: "It converts inedible plant matter into complete protein. Grass, cornstalks, brewery waste, vegetable peelings. Anything cellulose-rich that humans can't digest."
Investor 2: "Energy requirements."
Farmer: "Sunlight."
Investor 2: "For the plant matter, you mean."
Farmer: "And for the conversion. Same sunlight. Reused."
Investor 3: "Heating costs for the bioreactor."
Farmer: "None. The unit holds 38.5 degrees year-round on its own."
Investor 1: "Failure rate."
Farmer: "Self-repairing. The unit also replicates once a year at no additional cost."
Investor 3: "Replicates."
Farmer: "Produces a smaller version of itself. Which becomes a full unit."
Investor 2: "Net carbon."
Farmer: "Neutral. The carbon in goes back to the air the grass pulled it from. Round and round, same atoms, no new ones added."
Investor 1: "And the waste output."
Farmer: "Twenty tonnes of soil enrichment per unit per year. The waste is also a product."
Investor 2: "This would obliterate Beyond Meat."
Farmer: "It already has. They just don't know yet."
Investor 1: "Where can we see one."
Farmer: "There are about 1.5 billion currently deployed. Have been for ten thousand years."
[silence]
Investor 3: "It's a cow, isn't it."
Farmer: "It's a cow."
Investor 2: "We were promised plant-based."
Farmer: "The plant goes in one end. I don't know what else you wanted."

Our aim now is to do nationally what we just did in Great Yarmouth so successfully.
Bring out people who have never voted before.
We did it in Great Yarmouth, and won convincingly.
If we can do the same across Britain, we win the election.

This is worth repeating:
I never cared that you were gay until you started shoving it down my throat, and I never cared what color you were until you started blaming me for your problems.
I never cared about your political affiliation until you started condemning me for mine.
I really never even cared where you were born until you wanted to erase my history and blame my ancestors for your problems.
I never even cared if your beliefs were different from mine until you said my beliefs were wrong.
But now I care. My patience and tolerance are gone, and I am not alone in feeling like this. There are millions of us who feel like this.

We are going to win.
Some exciting news to share - Restore Britain's membership has just gone through 120,000.
That is double the Liberal Democrats. Double.
Almost entirely done through social media.
Less than six weeks after launch, less than one week after our official registration as a political party.
Our ground game is now firing. Approaching 400 parliamentary constituencies now have local branches up and running. Introductory meetings happening every day.
The billboard campaign is on, with leaflets going through doors - thousands and thousands more every day.
Regardless of what you think of our politics, this is a uniquely impressive achievement. Nothing like it has ever happened in British politics. Ever.
According to yougov, I have the best approval ratings of any party leader - I'm not even a sodding politician.
That is why the establishment detest us.
I would have it no other way.
We have no interest in reforming the establishment.
I want to smash the establishment - destroy it, and start again. Rebuilding a system that puts one group of people at the top of the agenda, every single time.
The British people.
Does that make us extreme or radical?
Irrelevant.
We are going to do what needs to be done, however painful that will be.
We are going to Restore Britain.
I'm having lots of fun with my @openclaw bot and @opencode - it's possible I told Clawvis that I'm a massive @rickygervais fan and to turn the banter up to 11 😂

Starmer is no leader. He's a bureaucrat. An incredibly boring bureaucrat, and an incredibly ineffective bureaucrat. That poisonous mix of being utterly incompetent, but also blindingly arrogant. All with the personality of a doorknob. What a crap Prime Minister.

Absolute cinema!
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.
