Interesting series by @simonjackbbc.bsky.social & @misszing.bsky.social . Here's the background to #TikTok . To me, it explains why voters often pick the weirdest candidates...the section on numbers of people loving short-form video shows that no-one *reads* anymore?

The definition of "hiding in plain sight"

I think a lot of these posters are now pushing this kind of retrograde hate bait because they're making money from it on X. In reality they would chop off their left foot to touch the inside of Sydney Sweeney's elbow

The grad trainee programme at the FT is extraordinary. We train you for THREE years you get decent money and an overseas placement. I've seen other news trainee schemes and this one is exceptional.

Millennials in the UK were sold a dream... But now it isn’t enough to simply own your own place anymore – it has to be Instagram-perfect too. My @inews.co.uk column this week is on the sham #homereno lifestyle 🏠

If there's ever a favour to ask, this is it: Outside journalism I volunteer with a youth club that does amazing things keeping kids out of trouble, despite constant funding cuts.

I got diagnosed with ADHD when I was 14 and some teachers had written me off as a failure. Had a double page spread this weekend in @theguardian.com writing about it. Who's laughing now??

Matt Shea and @jamietahsin.bsky.social are the guys behind *those* explosive Andrew Tate and Logan Paul documentaries. I talked to them for @bunkerpod.bsky.social about how the manosphere gave rise to young right-wing men voting for Trump linktr.ee/bunker_pod
