Please can you tone down reality—it's hurting the delusional. A digital Diogenes shining a lamp on absurdity. Stand by your gran.

For years, activists have claimed it is racist to break down sex crime statistics by nationality. This is nonsense. It should surprise no one that men from cultures in which women are treated as subordinate are convicted of sexual offences at disproportionately high rates.

It’s ironic that people who have spent their entire political lives thinking they’re “fighting the fash” don’t understand that they’re on the same side.
🧵 This is the most important thread I will ever write. Its been carefully researched and every claim is cited. It portrays the shocking reality that the current left-wing "anti zionist" movement uses identical rhetoric to the British far-right going back decades. 1/24

ANTHROPIC'S IPO DOCUMENTS ARE CALMING DOWN THE MARKETS. None of the numbers released today are that different from what we heard last week, but now we know how much cash they have. Anthropic has $120B in cash and is likely raising $100B on the IPO. They are then likely going to be raising another $100B in debt, $60B of it already financed by BlackStone. If you assume a 3x in ARR, which probably is low considering how much the street wants them to grow, this company should have around $300-$400B in cash. This also doesn't take into account the future ATMs they might engage in. So, the reason AI stocks are getting some relief right now is because it seems like Anthropic will have enough cash to pay their bills, which obviously is good for $NVDA, $SPCX, $AMD, $AVGO, $MU, and many other players. However, there are going to be 24 separate unlocks in 2027. Those are going to be days where the market has to deal with a massive amount of supply coming onto the market. The company effectively has unilateral control, not shareholders, on deciding to pause or slow down the release of models. The open-weight models continue to be a threat as more enterprises are seeing the value in owning their AI for a significantly cheaper cost. Anthropic has outlined all these risks in the S1. Regardless on if you are buying the IPO, it seems like there is enough cash they can raise to continue paying their bills and making sure the downstream value flows into most of the semis...if the market changes their mind on that or Anthropic stalls in growth, those names get hit. But if the company keeps growing and raises cash, the money should be there to fund the semis...it's now a question on how much of a risk people want to take in actually owning the stock.

Compassion doesn’t require you to stick to comfortable lies over uncomfortable truths.
Being compassionate does not mean shielding people from the pain of facing the truth. That would be enabling.

🔥 LET'S GO! NICKI MINAJ just took the stage at Trump's rally in Michigan, and said she'll ENDORSE a third Trump term "We want our children to grow up in a place we can be PROUD OF. We don't want our children to be BOMBARDED with S*X changes, right?!" "We want people to LEAVE THE CHILDREN ALONE! Leave them out of it!" "So President Trump, it is an HONOR to stand with you every single time, and I will CONTINUE to support you forever and ever. If you run again, I will support you again." 🇺🇸 — @NICKIMINAJ

Nicki Minaj telling gay boys that they don’t need to castrate themselves and become frail-boned, hormonally stunted cross-dressers is quite literally the opposite of homophobia

Men who claim they are being oppressed because they can't use women's single sex spaces are trying to emotionally manipulate women. That's it. Unfortunately, it works on some women.

Sir Jeremy Hunt - a former Tory chancellor who campaigned for Remain - says returning to free movement would be a 'hammer-blow' to trying to get people off welfare and into work He says that there is a risk that it paralyses the government because the issue is so divisive, and that there is an unwritten rule that major constitutional issues should only be returned to once a generation He tells @bbclaurak: 'We have 1million people not in employment, education or training. The government says it is serious about getting them back into work. To suddenly say you are prepared to negotiate allowing people from all over Europe to come and take those jobs would be a hammer blow to those plans to get people off welfare and into work. 'Whatever your views are on the European issue - and I voted Remain - going back to that old model where employers were giving jobs to people from all over Europe and we were parking people on welfare here must be a step back. 'When you have to have these big, constitutional debates you have to have an unwritten agreement that you are only going to come back to them once in a generation. Otherwise it is so divisive. 'I was at the top of a government that was paralysed for several years while we were trying to wrestle with the implications of that vote. I think that having made a decision we should stick with it.'

After 18 years in children’s services, I find this deeply troubling, repeated safeguarding warnings, vulnerable children put at risk, and a doctor who says she was silenced for speaking up. This demands answers. Protecting children must be the state’s first duty. 👇🏽
🚨Hilary Cass has called for an independent inquiry into how Brighton GPs were allowed to prescribe cross-sex hormones to children as young as 12.“There urgently needs to be an investigation of why every system that should have protected children, young people, and indeed young adults has failed,” she told me. The employment tribunal between Dr Sarah Redvers and NHS Sussex has highlighted how regulators and the NHS collectively failed to stop prescribing of puberty blockers and hormones against national guidelines - for years - and how instead the person raising concerns was accused of transphobia and herself investigated. Dr Redvers sat down with me for her only newspaper interview about her treatment in a scandal which, Cass now says, “dwarfs” that of the Tavistock’s GIDS.
