Rumble, the media company backed by Peter Thiel and JD Vance that hosts Trump's Truth Social, turned itself into a neocloud after acquiring Germany's Northern Data. A few months after it relaunched as Rum, it signed a $13.7B with an unnamed AI customer. That customer is Anthropic. Anthropic is also getting a warrant to buy Rum's shares, tied to how much computing power it eventually buys.

The fact that mortgage rates have remained high has really disguised the massive inflation-adjusted repricing in London property. The real-terms price of flats isn't that far above the post-financial crisis lows any more.

Journalists want to be there at the precipice of history. For my first outing as a senior writer for @ObserverUK , I realised that ambition. I went to Crufts. The worlds greatest dog show.

Yes yes yes! I feel like the interesting thing about Clavicular is not really “him” but how this new clipper ecosystem successfully hijacked millennial office worker attention via paid posts on X
