As a proud @Munsterrugby man, I'm more upset over the @ospreys news than I thought I'd be. The disrespect shown by the @WelshRugbyUnion has been something else. The corner stone of Welsh rugby in pro era and the standard bearer for Wales's 2nd city, dumped, without a 2nd thought.

The UK is destroying its own energy industry. - UK gas production is down ~70% since 2000 - Gas demand is down only ~30% since 2010 To ensure production falls even further: - The UK taxes oil and gas at up to 78% - It has banned new exploration (the only G7 country to do so)

Another order 'lost in transit' by @CourierEvri and my @Gymshark items are now out of stock. Why companies still use Evri is beyond me.

Everyone’s missing the real story here. Jensen dropped six chips into production at once. Coverage called it a product refresh. Look at the actual numbers. One Vera Rubin GPU hits 50 petaFLOPS inference. Five times Blackwell. Training lands at 35 petaFLOPS. Back in June 2024
Vera Rubin is in full production. We just kicked off the next generation of AI infrastructure with the NVIDIA Rubin platform, bringing together six new chips to deliver one AI supercomputer built for AI at scale. Here are the top 5 things to know 🧵

Blasphemy laws were abolished by Parliament in 2008 — yet this Government is determined to bring them back. The official definition of Islamophobia, repackaged as “anti-Muslim hostility”, would have a chilling effect on free speech and silence legitimate criticism of Islam. By

Phil Lynott’s Mum ran a pub in Manchester in the seventies which was frequented by the Quality Street gang so there was never any trouble in it until the gang all went on holiday to Spain, at which point people started taking liberties in the pub and the local area. A week later

THIS IS A BREAKING POINT, AND A WARNING: For the first time, the British public is no longer buying the lie. What was waved away for months as paranoia or fringe resistance has now crystallized into a blunt reality: a clear majority of people in the United Kingdom reject a

Not sure who to attribute this assertion to, but it rings true! To those born between 1952 and 1979 — We are the bridge between two worlds. The last to grow up before the digital age—and the first to walk into it. We didn’t just witness history. We lived the transformation. We
