My focus is normally Labour MPs, but look at this.
Rishi Sunak earns £2.2 million from his side jobs with Anthropic, Microsoft and Goldman Sachs while still being an MP. 💰💰💰

feel like an underexamined reason people are addicted to LLMs is less that they can't think but that they're overwhelmed by choice and just want a "definitive" option handed to them with the aura of "authority/analysis" (from the training data or whatever) behind it

Americans will swear that New York pizza is totally different and a unique culinary invention created by Americans but then act dense about a kind of curry invented in Glasgow
A grown adult just tried to me that Indian curry is British food
And I thought the American public education system was bad lmao
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
British-Indian food is its own cuisine, dating back to colonial occupation. Traditional Indian food was adapted for British palates and became part of British food culture. The UK’s unofficial national dish, chicken tikka masala, was invented by a Pakistani-Scottish man.

Bolsanaro had a familiar playbook in Brazil: paint Lula as an ally of crime syndicates, dismiss journos as enemies of society, and tap into people’s anxieties about the loss of traditional values. How did Lula’s party fight it? No analysis here but important to note how the Left there is rooted in culture/religion: in Catholicism that shaped struggles for workers’ rights, in the neighbourhood bar where people gather to sing samba and drink Cachaca. The Left’s strength comes from being part of everyday life.
Can a divided Brazil still talk to itself?
From a Bolsonaro rally in São Paulo to a left-wing bar in Rio, @MnshaP meets Brazilians navigating political fault lines ahead of the election run-off.
