Italy, who don't have a single cricket pitch in their country but have qualified for the #T20WorldCup, are a team full of people tracing their roots back to other countries But before the qualifiers, they sat down to have a special meeting, where they learned about each player's story, their individual connections to Italy, and how they came to wear the country's flag on their chest "By the end of it there were probably 10 or 15 grown men with a tear in their eye or crying," says spinner Harry Manenti My piece for Reuters...

A single, viral post on X skyrocketed Groq’s business. Groq Founder Jonathan Ross was looking for a way to show people that fast inference would be extremely useful. He remembered an example from Eric Schmidt showing off an LLM at a conference three weeks before the ChatGPT moment. Nobody in the audience cared. Then he looked at what made ChatGPT’s launch successful and realized that it worked because they allowed people to ask their own questions. “They got an answer to their question that was specific to them. That was magical.” “Seeing text show up for someone else's answer wasn't magical.” So he put Groq’s fast inference hardware on the internet for anyone to try. Someone posted a video on X of an LLM running on Groq running super fast. “It was just such eye candy when people saw it that everyone started creating their own and we just went viral.”

One of the most frustrating things throughout my 8 years in Congress was how blatantly our leaders put party before the people. Whatever one party is for, the other is against—and vice versa. The American people are so sick of that. We have to go beyond labels, and we must have leaders who act for our interests, not the interests of themselves or their party.

I knew it would be scrubbed. The question you need to ask yourself is why? What narrative are they trying to solidify? Or was it a false flag? Why would this American be searched in a foreign country before she was killed? Why were there searches for locations and doctors, and people, etc., related to the Charlie Kirk assassination and the National Guardsmen days before, sometimes even months before events happened that were all related to these shooting events?

Culture is not a list of values, literary works, or costumes. Culture is a story that a people tell themselves about themselves in their territory across generations. It is their inheritance, whether they like it or not. If the people disappear, so does the culture. You cannot swap those people out for others and keep their culture, just as you cannot replace the photographs of children on their mother's mantelpiece and claim that the family remains the same.

"In 1862, Abraham Lincoln started the first income tax to help pay for the Civil War." "In 1872, they ended it." "Then in 1913, Congress decided to tax people based on their income." "There is nothing fair about people working hard their whole lives to provide for their family, only to have those who don't work to provide for their family stick their hands out, wanting people with money to pay for everything." Just imagine how far this country would go if we just stopped taxing our citizens and everyone kept what they made. Imagine it!

Some employees of a catering company is making a marketing video for their mobile catering business. They had gotten permission from the manager of the parking lot they were in. In the middle of the video, a woman comes and demands that they leave, that they will attract animals, and then proceeds to dump their food all over the ground. She happens to be a board member at the at the local country club they were pitching their marketing for. Seeing how she treats people, should she be removed as a board member or should she be charged for destroying their food?

Dominion Voting System's CEO lied multiple times during interviews on national television, and under oath in court about their machines and tabulators not being hooked up to the internet when they were, in fact, hooked up to the internet. They were also found to have wireless and remote access, parts directly from China, and connections to servers in other countries. Eric Coomer of Dominion was also filmed talking about their 3G and 4G internet capabilities in Mongolia. Why would they lie about their machines being hooked up to the internet if they had nothing to hide in the first place?

Saw a tweet bewildered that “hello” worked as an opener for a (handsome) guy on a dating app. Many men wish dating were a game analogous to chess. They want to learn to make the "correct moves” and then “win.” A pageant would be a better analogy.

Elon Musk to the British people: ”If we don’t take action, people won’t be able to mind their own business because other people are gonna come and maraud them. There’s genuine risk of rape and murder and the destruction of the country and dissolution of the entire way of life. In the normal course of business, if things weren’t under a massive attack, then people should go about their business and just live their lives. But unfortunately, if the fight comes to you, you don’t have a choice. You have to fight, so you have to rally all of the people of Britain to fight for the future. If this doesn’t happen, there won’t be a future. Fight for your future, do it!”

Just imagine every Zimbabwean in the Diaspora or at a foreign institution was an ambassador for their country or culture like this! Imagine every time they spoke about themselves and their identity they spoke thus. Imagine what that would do to Brand Zimbabwe.

For a thousand years, when nobody was coming to help the British people, the British people helped each other. 🇬🇧 That has always been our answer. Long before any state asked it of us. Long before any law required it. We were already looking after each other. 🙏 In the year 900, every Anglo-Saxon man was bound by oath to nine of his neighbours. If one was wronged, the other nine were responsible for putting it right. ⚖️ The whole village answerable for each other. It wasn't charity. It wasn't kindness. It was the law. By the 1300s, every English parish kept what they called a poor box. 🍞 Bread for the family who couldn't farm. Wool for the widow who couldn't weave. Coin for the orphan with no one. The state didn't tell them to. The state didn't even exist yet. They just did it. In the 1400s, the wealthy started leaving their fortunes in their wills. Not to their children. Not to the church. To strangers. 🏛️ To houses where elderly neighbours could live for the rest of their lives. Some of those almshouses, founded six hundred years ago, are still housing British people today. In the 1700s, the working men came together. They didn't own land. They didn't have fortunes. They had a few pennies a week. So they pooled them. They called themselves Friendly Societies. ⏳ If a member fell sick, his family was fed. If a member died, his children were buried with dignity. If a member was injured, the doctor's bill was paid. By the 1870s, half the working men of Britain belonged to one. Long before there was a welfare state, the British working class had built one for themselves. Penny by penny. 🪙 In 1824, William Hillary watched a ship break up off the Isle of Man. He could hear the sailors calling for help. Nobody was coming for them. No navy. No coastguard. No state. ⛵ So Hillary asked the British people to be the ones who came. Volunteers. Donations. Lifeboats. Two centuries later, the RNLI has saved more than 146,000 lives. Still volunteer-run. Still funded by donations. Still no state involvement. 🌊 In 1862, half a million Lancashire mill workers were out of work. A naval blockade had cut off the slave-grown cotton from America. Their families were starving. Someone offered them slave-grown cotton from elsewhere. Just to keep working. They voted on it. In Manchester's Free Trade Hall. They voted no. They chose hunger. For people they would never meet. For people enslaved on the other side of an ocean. 💔 In 1911, a chancellor named Lloyd George stood up in Parliament. He had a plan. Workers would pay a few pennies a week. Their employers would pay too. And in return, when a worker fell sick, his family would be fed. The doctor's bill would be paid. He didn't invent the idea. He copied it. From the Friendly Societies the British working class had been running themselves for two hundred years. Thirty-seven years later, a Welsh miner's son named Aneurin Bevan made it national. 🏥 They called it the National Health Service. One of the proudest achievements in British history. And it was built on the model the Friendly Societies had been running for two hundred years before it. British working people had already invented it. The state finally caught up. The state didn't give us this. We gave it to ourselves. ✊ 🙏🇬🇧 Be part of us. Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧

3. Before the cast were filmed dancing around the fountain, before the producers came up with the song "I'll Be There For You" and before they settled on the title "F.R.I.E.N.D.S" - this is what the opening credits to the show was. "Friends Like Us" was one of a few titles they toyed with (Six Of One being another) and they originally wanted to use R.E.M's "Shiny Happy People" as the theme song

Neil Oliver on the "green" agenda: "Why do [unelected "elites"] imagine, for even a nanosecond, that they're somehow imbued with the right... to make harder, smaller, darker, colder and hungrier the lives of billions of people?" "The diminished lives they have in mind for their fellow human beings are absolutely not the lives they have in mind for themselves." "If these people sincerely believed in the necessity... of the kind of diminished, limited, lesser lives they have in mind for us... then they would already be living those lives themselves as an example to the rest of us."
