Why don't creative people deserve to be compensated for their work if other people profit from it? I still don't understand it. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Before we build lots of new houses perhaps we could do an audit of who is living, or not living, in the houses we have recently built. For instance, this article did a marvelous job of finding out what happened to the apartments in One St George Wharf www.theguardian.com/society/2016...

I can't believe he's only been president for 9 months.

Actually, scientist Frances Kelsey knew thalidomide wasn’t safe but she was ignored by the drugs companies because they wanted to make a quick buck. Paracetamol, on the other hand, had been proven to be safe time and time again.

This is like a fairytale where Kier Starmer invites a kindly old lady into the house only to discover that she is a wolf* and will eat us for breakfast *despite there being very obvious signs www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2025/sep/22/ice-palantir-data

I think the UK should have something like the Great Exhibition and fill it with things from GB and NI that are useful and beautiful. One of the problems we have here is people have confused renting property with having a job which has lead to economic stagnation www.theguardian.com/money/2025/m...

All this extra intelligence we are making, where is it going?

Ok, I’ve just realised we are doing it wrong. Instead of protesting outside parliament we should be protesting outside the BBC and the offices of Murdoch’s sad rags.

Dropped off my Calvin and Hobbes book with Nephew (9) told him I used to read it under the duvet w a torch (boarding school) and it is a book that has been banned in Trumpet’s America. Top tier aunting.

This is what you call a property developer fudge. The plot has been empty for so long the developers have put in some padel courts so they can say to Lambeth Council that construction has started and not lose the planning permission for their ghastly towers visionforvauxhall.co.uk/our-updated-...

This 70 storey tower in Vauxhall is so unpleasant @florenceeshalomi.bsky.social Please say it isn't so. Also, can you do something about the empty commercial units in the new builds which offer nothing to local residents or the economy. visionforvauxhall.co.uk/our-updated-...

The family were discussing Donald Trump (yawn) at the weekend and nephew (6) piped up and started shouting DONALD TRUMPET! I can’t believe I’ve never heard someone call him this before, it’s perfect, I hope it catches on 🎺

My goodness, you all need to stop legitemising Farage. you're worse than the BBC. Don't waste your time on his opinions.

Royals getting their art tutors to finish their work, the prequel. A sculpture of Queen Victoria’s husband, Prince Albert, on display in Windsor Castle for the past 160 years, has been revealed to have been made by his daughter, Princess Victoria, in memory of her father after his death in 1861.

Bring back the stocks as a deterrent for assholery.

An obituary for a thoroughly decent person. In 2017 Agnes Gund sold her Lichtenstein painting Masterpiece to create the Art for Justice Fund to repair the harms caused by mass incarceration in the US. The art world has lost one of its great philanthropists.🕊️ www.theartnewspaper.com/2025/09/19/a...

The BBC this morning was still covering the far right march *from a week ago* Meanwhile, not a mention on their site (let alone the 6 or the 10) of a Tax The Rich march which set out from literally outside its HQ TODAY

In an effort to be more Robert Redford and less computer dweeb I have decided to learn how to ride a horse🐴

I don’t think it was made clear enough that Trump’s dinner was also an invitation for US tech bros to help themselves to a slice of the UK.

I was yesterday years old when I realised that they add weirdnesses to supermarket grated cheese so it doesn’t stick together in the packet which now means it doesn’t melt properly, the main thing people are buying it to do.

I spent the evening happily listening to one of my favourite curmudgeons. Lots of boring questions from the audience about Trump, we are obsessed. I wish it wasn’t so.

I'd love to know what percentage of Americans are interviewed on Radio 4 compared to British citizens. I don't fully understand why presenters in the UK are constantly asking American people their opinions on things.

When I was at the University of the Arts London I asked my tutor what jobs I could do after I got my illustration degree, a question I think Peter Kyle would have approved of, and my tutor answered, this is an art college not a job centre

Im having a little dinner party later, I was going to cook a Cottage Pie because the weather is gross and I think people need something comforting but I could be inspired to do something different. What is your go-to dish if you are having people over? it doesn't need to be anything too fancy pants

There should be a tally of how many jobs ai has taken away compared to how many it claims to offer. Perhaps we could put it in Piccadilly Circus like the countdown clock in Union Square.

Preferred it when the news was photos of Robert Redford (minus the circumstances) Here’s some great photos of him at home from LIFE magazine in 1969. www.life.com/people/rober...

Every word

I don’t think ad agencies have thought this through, if they increasingly use AI what is the point of the ad agency? It’s a thread we really shouldn’t have pulled.

Trump and his "largest military ceremonial welcome"

I just know that this won't be good Starmer announces 'tech prosperity deal' with US, as Microsoft announces £22bn AI investment in UK Britain and the US have struck a tech deal that could bring billions of pounds of investment to the UK as President Donald Trump arrived for his second state visit

OUR SOCIETY IS RUN BY INSANE PEOPLE FOR INSANE OBJECTIVES I think they're all insane, you know, but I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that, you know? That's what's insane about it. I mean, don't you agree? #powertothepeople

We hear a lot about privatisation, but rarely are the numbers laid out so starkly: £193bn paid to shareholders and private equity firms, a £250 premium for every citizen. Only Russia, Hungary and the Czech Republic have shed public wealth faster than Britain www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I’ve been in the TATE archive all day watching back-to-back tv arts documentaries & late night segments from the 1980s/90s (channel 4 & BBC) & it’s pretty eye-opening to see how far we’ve veered from the cerebral programming of yore.

I wonder what it was like being Robert Redford www.life.com/people/rober...

Robert Redford was the kind of handsome that seemed like a cliché to even mention. RIP to a great one, I don't think anyone wore a unbuttoned shirt better.

This tree is an immigrant to the UK and the best one on the square. I like that it’s there.
