#TheCapture is epic. Unbelievable twists and turns. Ending of Ep 2 awesome; ending of Ep 3 hard to watch 🙈

Every woman in British journalism today pays a debt of gratitude to Dame Jenni Murray. An unswerving force, never cowed by the pressures of male editorial domination. No doubt in her mind exactly who she spoke for, and to. An inspiration. Thank you. Rest in power.

One commonality I've found among right-wing & left-wing voters is frustration with ppl not treating others as though they are human. That includes feeling that they themselves are not being treated with consideration, "as humans"; a phrase used repeatedly by both sides. Understanding goes a long way

Coverage of AI in media is full of wafflers who are unable to cut through the crap to the core principles and actions needed. It's exhausting.

"We will continue to warn of the risk the Greens pose: the risk of extreme policies like legalising all drugs and pulling out of NATO that most voters strongly reject, and the risk of splitting the progressive vote so that Reform come through the middle. (15/16)

"Look at the good economic news we’ve had in the past week: inflation and borrowing coming down, retail sales and business confidence rising, energy bills falling. (8/16)

The BBC just remade Lord of the Flies — the story that taught generations humans are fundamentally savage. But when it ACTUALLY happened in real life? Six boys shipwrecked for over a year built a functioning society.

Recommended watching: loved both #TheTonyBlairStory and #TheNightAgent (season 3) this week

Al Sharpton: Barack Obama was able to become President because of Jesse Jackson.

"Wherever the BBC has been forced to withdraw – for financial or political pressures – propaganda has been quick to fill the gap. [The #BBCWorldService is] an instrument of soft power. But...also part of our national security. Accurate journalism is the strongest weapon in the war of information."

I love it when stats and poll watchers are confounded by real life. Reminds me why I was named after Zeno of Elea. #StSebastiansparadox #hareandtortoiseparadox

I have no idea what pundits saying they 'don't know what #Starmer stands for' are on about. He's principled and competent. He'll get our NHS, economy and defence back on form. And he'll combat corruption. It's clear from space! #Labour

Tom Allan is a big loss. The operation became noticeably more effective when he came in. bsky.app/profile/theg...

This is the perfect opportunity for #Starmer to demonstrate that he did indeed inspire the character of Mark Darcy - defending vulnerable people from the Wickhams of the political/financial world. I despise corrupt people, who so predictably try to take down principled people holding them to account

Not *all* Labour MPs wanted McSweeney out. “Gutted about Morgan”, one texts. “So many of us know he’s brilliant to work with, so exceptional at the bigger picture strategic thinking, relentlessly focused on the moving pieces… and credit him with winning the majority”.

One (rare) advantage of X over BlueSky - you can bookmark posts from your phone app, rather than only 'like' them. @bsky.app please can you advise/sort?

#Starmer staying in power is in the interests of UK national security. This is particularly on the basis of national and international stability and yes, I would strongly argue, principled competence.

To state the blooming obvious, in today's global climate, national security and politics need to be in lockstep.

I personally am much more interested in the relationship between #Epstein and #Trump. The UK needs to know more about this for its own national security.

🚨🚨Poland to examine “increasingly likely possibility that pedophilia scandal was co-organized by intelligence services” in Moscow. Read the full story below. 🖇️ www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

Would the security services really allow someone who wasn't a member of the security services to be ambassador to the U.S. in the second Trump era? #PeterMandelson

It seems to me that, today, society rewards looking as though you're doing something more than actually doing it. Performativeness. (I wonder whether the advent of 'liking' things, rather than actually liking them, has anything to do with it.)

Alcaraz ❤️ 🙌

Sandwiches instead of the roast at boarding school 🎻 Poor Roper #NightManager

"I was there that day recovering the bodies of my fellow astronauts." Yet another way in which @captmarkkelly.bsky.social is a hero. #ColumbiaDisaster #MarkKelly #Americanheroes

They are all Black journalists and Black politicians. Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are journalists. Trahern Jean Crews ran for Minnesota's House District 66B. Jamael Lydell Lundy is running for Minnesota Senate District 65.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

shows.acast.com/media-confid... Germany's household levy model, with low-income exemptions, sounds good #BBC #BBCCharter #Licencefee #BBCfunding #BBCfundingmodel

There are male journalists who try to silence a woman who disagrees with them. They do realise that they are journalists & social media platforms are public, yes? They're bringing the efficacy of society down. Women have a right to comment/disagree - esp where they have expertise & the man doesn't.

Anyone that cares about news should be writing a strongly-worded letter to the BBC about this joke. Embarrassing. Incidentally - Robbie Gibb out as only external person on BBC editorial standards board. #BBC #BBCNews

With everything going on in the world (NATO, Greenland, America, economy, NHS...) is a local mayor being disappointed at not being able to stand as an MP this time (due to costs) headline BBC News? Really, BBC? #BBCNews

Fiona taught the traitors what happens when you break the prisoner's dilemma #TheTraitors

Jade unfortunately was the worst detective of the series - her methods were terrible. Every single time she thought it was the person who'd just accused her. No insight on her own thought process, even when confronted with it. I hope she can learn from it but am not sure she's able to #TheTraitors

At least idiots didn't win #TheTraitors #StayClever

The producers need to up the prize money relative to inflation, to give bigger incentives and maintain authentic human behaviour #TheTraitors

They didn't break the Prisoner's Dilemma. #TheTraitors

Rachel was the cleverest. She deserves to win. Even though her group is assigned arbitrarily as 'Traitors' - it doesn't make her a bad person. I guess. #TheTraitors

Strange music for this - hopeful 'Arrival of the Birds'?! Bad call #TheTraitors

Maybe Jack to go next? #TheTraitors

They never trust a non-white man. It's really annoying #TheTraitors

Is there a heart attack warning? #TheTraitors

Can't even look at the screen #TheTraitors

Looks like Faraaz is going first, then Rachel, then Jack and Stephen will end the game - Stephen to win #TheTraitors

Faraaz don't betray your judgement on Rachel #TheTraitors

What counts is how others are going to vote. Get Faraaz to go with you Jack #TheTraitors

As long as Faraaz and Jack stick together, there's a chance #TheTraitors

Jack - trust Faraaz! #TheTraitors
