I have no idea whether or not she does own shares in OpenAI. But the balance of probability is surely that she does - so the government should publish her register of interests, as the public deserves to know. /end

Trump has threatened to bomb or invade 7 countries with a shot to play in the 2026 World Cup. He *has* bombed one (Iran) and said he'd deny them visas. He's preparing for war with another (Venezuela). He has summarily executed citizens from at least 3. He has imposed tariffs on nearly all of them.

So the BBC is biased against Donald Trump? Ok? Fine? It’s also biased against Vladimir Putin or Erdogan or Orban or or or, your point being?

If, as several people are suggesting this morning, the DG and News CEO were prevented from issuing an apology re Panorama last week by the board, it seems extremely urgent that the chair of the board clarify what happened

What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure
Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.

The first time I posted this, Zohran was down 30 points. We had never met and we were in a room full of famous people. Absolutely nobody knew who he was, so we were able to talk Onion headlines uninterrupted for ten minutes. This was five months ago. Now he's one of the most important people alive.
