Addendum to my thread the other day, one of the two biggest GPU Chip manufacturers; AMD, has signed a multi year deal with OpenAI to supply chips, probably “worth” around $500Bn. Part of the deal allows OpenAI to buy shares worth 10% of AMD over that period. This is essentially wash trading.

"We'll negotiate on healthcare after we reopen the government" is the most obvious wallet inspector line ever even if you weren't dealing with someone whose entire career was telling people he was the wallet inspector and taking their wallets

Some 97-year-old pork magnate rasps out a diatribe against the kids - they're all vegan now, they don't eat the mortadella, the don't eat the capocollo, something's gotta be done Tony!

Three years later "You can't call a vegan sausage a sausage" is what emerges from the EU's law-sphincter 🧐

Nah, kid, it's a scam. By the time they actually let you inspect the female bodies, you're too old to really care any more.

I use archival images for my posts so that I don't have to 1) pay for good ones or 2) steal them or 3) use shitty AI ones, which means I do a lot of searches in the National Archives index for things like "FBI" which sometimes yield unusable but awesome images like this. Check out the hat!

FUNDAMENTALIST CHRISTIAN LOGIC
1. A male is defined by having a penis and testicles
2. God is a male.

Therefore
3. God has balls and a wang.

Ask a fundamentalist how big god’s hog is. No matter how big he says it is, it will be a limit to the infinite size of god and therefore a blasphemy.

the most delightful version of logging on to see what news you've missed

Dr Ramsdell, whose phone had been on airplane mode when the Nobel committee tried to call him, told the BBC's Newshour Programme that his first response when his wife said, "You've won the Nobel prize" was: "I did not."

To which Ms O'Neill replied that she had 200 text messages that suggested he had.

"We will cut taxes and magic things will happen" is actually less crackpot than "we will obey an arbitrary set of fiscal rules based on forecasts, the methodology of which we try to influence behind the scenes, and magic things will happen"

If a bubble 4x the size of the 2008 sub-prime crisis undergoes a "sudden price adjustment" I fear Labour's fantasies about growth will be the least of the casualties 😅
