Here’s your ‘Hate March’ @SuellaBraverman fuelled by you, with St George flags shouting “England till I die” marching to ‘defend’ the Cenotaph, rioting, attacking the police, disrupting the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month #RemembanceDay 🇵🇸🕊️
John-Henry Barac retweeted
Marching and calling for a ceasefire and peace so that more innocent children don’t get killed is not really the definition of a hate march.

Dominic Grieve, "Suella Braverman's position is untenable.. Firstly she's attacked the independence of the police.. It gives the impression she wants to control police decision making.. That in a free and democratic society is unacceptable.. Then, she has created chaos in government"

"In our thousands, in our millions, we are all Palestinians!"
That's certainly true in London today.
This march left Marble Arch 2 hours ago. Thousands still arriving on Whitehall.

Just in case it’s slipped your memory, the fact-checkers of The Washington Post worked out that during his four years in office Donald Trump made over 30,000 false or misleading claims. That’s an average of 21 a day.

One aspect of #VisionPro that I think people haven't fully been able to appreciate is the advanced Spatial Audio system. It's insane, and the whole device is really the most advanced consumer electronics device ever created.
The audio system creates the feeling that sounds are coming from the environment around you. The system measures the geometry of your ears and head with an iPhone depth camera to create a personal profile. It also analyzes your room's acoustic properties, including the physical materials. And when a sound is played it uses audio raytracing.
What's all that mean? Imagine you're in nature and you hear a bird chirp to the left of you. The sound waves the bird makes travel in all directions, bouncing off of trees, the grass, your body, and finally into your ears. Some of those objects dampen the sound, some reflect the sound, others bend the sound. And the sound takes a slightly different amount of time to reach each of your ears. Then the sound echos off of the unique shape of your ears, which changes its pitch, and all of this lets your brain know what direction the bird chirp came from, and also what else is in your environment.
So again, the advanced spatial audio system of Vision Pro knows the geometry of your ears if you've calibrated that with an iPhone, it analyzes the acoustic properties of your room including the physical materials, and simulates the propagation of sound using audio ray tracing. I don't think theres any other system on earth capable of this. When you're in a face time call, it sounds as if people are speaking right from where they are. That sounds obvious and like a simple feature, but this is impossible to fully appreciate without experiencing it.
George Lucas is famous for saying sound is more than half the experience when watching a movie. And there's really no way of fully communicating the spatial audio system without hearing it for yourself. Imagine putting on a high end pair of headphones to Vision Pro and watching a 3D movie with a screen that feels 100 feet wide.

Hey guys! Shall we get mad at the holocaust survivor who said the same thing as Gary Lineker ?

I once revealed in @thetimes how John Humphrys made money from speeches slagging off the then Labour government. The Tories/Daily Mail squealed about his freedom so he kept his job interviewing politicians on @BBCr4today, unlike @GaryLineker who presents football on @BBCMOTD.
John-Henry Barac retweeted
This is pathetic for so many reasons.

Everybody knows what Match of the Day means to me, but I’ve told the BBC I won’t be doing it tomorrow. Solidarity.

We must make the moral case for a humane asylum system grounded in dignity, empathy and care.
The only way we can defeat a politics of hatred is with a politics of compassion.

“They can’t run on their governing record, sewage in the rivers, living standards, they can’t run on personalities, so what do they have left? Division, us vs them”
John-Henry Barac retweeted
Yep.
Replying to @GaryLineker
They could 'stop the boats' tomorrow by opening processing centres in France but they don't want to. They would rather have the optics and language of 'invasion' to enrage their flagging base.
