When women tried to speak out about Walliams, they were silenced by lawyers and intimidated.
We need to end these tactics so women can no longer be silenced by rich and powerful men. We're working with brave women speaking up, support them 👇 🌟

Is the Microsoft outage compounded by the pivot to AI heavy software development? Not enough human engineers to find and fix complex code issues?
Microsoft has laid off thousands of people while pouring billions into AI.
Then Outlook goes down around the world, and for 10+ hours everyone is waiting on human engineers to bring it back.
Now picture those engineers digging through millions of lines of AI-generated code, 3 years of agents shipping straight to production, trying to work out what any of it actually does.
Funny how companies keep talking about replacing people, right up until something breaks and they need people to fix it.

A group of Microsoft employees have circulated an open letter warning that aggressive, mandatory integration of AI tools, - often with little training - has degraded workflow quality, forced staff to clean up poor AI output and caused a slump in morale.

Some excellent and very rare photos here of SAS commander Blair 'Paddy' Mayne in Antarctica, 1946. Immediately after the war, he and two of his SAS close friends, Mike Sadler - former LRDG navigator turned SAS stalwart - and John Tonkin - Operation Bulbasket commander and escapee - joined a Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey to Antartica, which not only offered adventure and a purpose, post the summary disbandment of the SAS in October 1945, but also offered these men who had spent five years soldiering deep behind the lines the opportunity to decompress and reflect on all that had transpired during the war years, and upon fallen comrades. Sadly, an early back injury that Mayne had suffered during the war - and which he'd typically remained silent about, for fear of being grounded - came back to plague him with a vengeance, and he was forced to return from Antartica early. Mayne was a keen photographer and writer, and many of these photos are his. He also kept an Antartica diary, chronicling his, Sadler's and Tonkin's experiences and adventures.

🔴British tax payers are going to be forced to BAIL OUT the National Grid
Just so you know the ‘National Grid’ isn’t owned by us. Er no…. It’s a privately owned company with international shareholders, with almost £49 BILLION of debt, forecast to reach £60–70 BILLION by 2031.
The massive costs of upgrading the grid including financing costs and shareholder returns (obvs), is paid through increasing OUR energy bills. Much of this investment is because of the Government’s Net Zero targets.
And if it gets into serious financial trouble, the law even allows government financial support (paid for by taxpayers). It’s a brilliant private investment where the investors never lose. And ordinary people always pay.
Now watch what they do with nature.'

Inside Lenovo Ducati #MotoGP videos are always worth watching. Qatar parc fermé is particularly interesting... The icy relationship between Bezzecchi and Marquez had thawed this season, but after the sprint incident, seems like Bezzecchi has returned to his earlier opinion and Marquez knows it 😬😬

I would like to formally apologise about a remark i made on 6th November on Sky News.
I’m very sorry that you thought I would ever apologise for exposing very powerful men using SLAPPs and threatening survivors with legal letters.
So sue me x

After Bic was hacked no biros on the planet work. And anything written on paper has disappeared. In an emergency the King has given permission for quills to be taken from swans. And shares in Oak forests have soared as their galls are selling for thousands of pounds to inkmakers. Sheep ditto as parchment makes a comeback.

Better off? @Helen_Whately
Carer’s Allowance: £86.45 a WEEK
£12.35 a DAY
Just 86p an HOUR for 100 hours of care.
Unpaid carers provide care worth £184 BILLION a yr
So tell me, who’s getting the bargain of the century?
Because it certainly isn’t unpaid carers.
People on benefits shouldn’t be better off than people in work.
Some households are getting thousands more in welfare than a full-time job.
People who’re working say to me – why do I bother?
We will make sure work always pays more than benefits.
We’ll restore the two-child benefit cap. Working families don’t get a pay rise when they have another child. Nor should people on benefits.
And we’ll reform housing benefit. No more asking taxpayers to pay for people on benefits to live wherever they want – especially when working people can’t afford to live there themselves.

There is no other way to read this other than that Jensen Huang strongarmed his CFO into massive, multi-billion circular financing deals as a means of inflating its revenues. He also sounds like a horrible person to work for.
NEW: In a tense late-summer meeting, Jensen Huang called his Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress a “deer in the headlights.”
His concern: Nvidia’s plans to fund the AI boom with its balance sheet were running into problems. He needed to figure it out.
He called her a “reporting CFO,” not someone who could help him define a strategy or make decisions.
