What happens when you interview 700 teenagers about how they actually navigate their online and offline worlds? You learn so, so much about the reality of their lived experiences. This report is riveting from start to finish, and whether you live in England or not. demos.co.uk/wp-content/u...

Dear eateries: your location, contact details, and opening hours should be on your landing page.

@paulsinha.bsky.social Loved your set on Wednesday night, especially the ironic introduction of the awards.

This is an excellent breakdown of the legal challenge by POTUS.

Remembrance Day is now dominated by performative nonsense. You don't need a house sized poppy and a model spitfire to show you care about the sacrifices made for the country. Where's the sense of dignity and the quiet respect gone?

Celebrity TV shows are notoriously facile and vacuous. #CelebrityTraitors has broken that record - brilliant telly.

A film you've seen more than seven times with a gif.

Sweet mercy. This tremendous volley from veteran Trevor Francis is 37 years old today. Watch yourself, old son. You could put your back out spinning like that…

Being named Andrew today makes listening to the news very peculiar.

I remember when middle aged men bought big cars. Now we buy big mics and cool podcast tools. I have the PodTrak P4 and this looks awesome.

Obviously coffee is wrong anyway but this doesn't make sense to me.

And a SIM PIN and an unlock code to make it tougher to circumvent.

This is the exact point; not every Maccabi TLV fan is a rabid hooligan and they're all being punished for the actions of some. Similarly, it's perfectly OK to protest about Israel without going on a 'Jew-hunt' or declaring all 'Zios' need to be buried. The lack of nuance in this is astonishing.

If we want to call ourselves evidence-informed, we need to show our working. Cite your sources. Credit the people whose research you build on. It’s not just honesty; it’s how others keep learning, too. 🔗 bit.ly/47atByd #LND #LearningAndDevelopment #Research

Huge thanks to @lizzicollinge.bsky.social for organising today’s Westminster Hall debate celebrating Ada Lovelace Day and support for women in STEM. It was an absolutely amazing experience and I am so honoured to have been recognised this way.

I've seen these before but are always worth revisiting.

THERAPIST: How long has it been since you experienced an anxiety attack? SINGER FROM BARENAKED LADIES: It's been... THERAPIST: Please. We talked about this.

Anyway, no real point to conclude with. I'm honoured and delighted to see my hard work recognised like this. And I am really going to enjoy my trip to Parliament this afternoon. But if anyone wants to hire me or give me freelance work — writing, ghostwriting, research, DEI, comms strategy, comms...

The death of Pep-ball - are QPR finally on trend? After decades of always being (at least) one-step behind, Dorse wonders whether QPR might actually have got ahead of the game with the appointment of Julien Stéphan and his recent tactical switch. #qpr

The veneration of Books As Objects misses the point entirely. If you're reading a book, turn the corners down, break the spine, spill soup on it. It's your book, go nuts. A pristine, unread book is a tragedy in a way that a beloved, much-read book that looks like the dog's been at it could never be.

"Men, I know what really annoys women" Taking column inches with your take, rather than their words might be one place to look.

Got framed.wtf in one today. Anyone taking more than 4 needs help.

I'm going with #CelebrityTraitors. Looks like a fun series too. The fact we think we know them a bit makes it more interesting.

Yes, yes I know I keep banging on about my fucking book! However, if you want one repost this and I’ll do a random winner pick thing by the end of the week because I’m great like that. ♥️📚 #amindofmyown

I've said this before, but old people homes in the next decade are likely to be very different. The punk and gamer generations are coming and it'll be less Vera Lynn and more Poly Styrene.
