Seriously it’s like there is a giant chunk of tech people who don’t understand that when you’ve learned how to write, you feel proud, you look forward to doing more of it, you cheerfully neglect your other work just so you can write more

My resignation letter

How real or not is the apparent backlash to Net Zero, clean energy etc in the UK? I have some new research out with @ippr.org today. Easily the most in-depth look at this! Review of existing polling, new polling and message testing, interviews with ambivalent voters, etc Here's a taster 🧵

Quick… 1) Keir to do a hardline Op Ed on immigration for the Telegraph 2) Brief the Sun better ‘hero’ loan deals for students who study modules in ‘patriotic plumbing’ 3) throw off the record shade at Ed Miliband That should steady the ship

Your job hasn't been killed by Ai - No, possibly worse, you have a job but everything you say and do is monitored by a robot overlord #dystopia #BurgerKing www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Charles I arrested by Parliament in 1647. Is this the last time a British royal was arrested? Does Princess Anne's conviction in 2002 under the Dangerous Dogs Act technically count???

It’s coming. Big tech enabling fake Ai personas of dead people to spread disinformation & influence elections.

Did any of the Reform shad cab send their own kids to a plumbing apprenticeship rather than university? Did any of the commentariat who regularly attack universities? I thought not.

We have AI now.... youtube.com/shorts/8-lgJ...

Has a comms strategy anywhere failed as badly as McSweeney’s?

When Farage said it would make us poorer....he meant us, not him personally....of course www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The best time for the government to quit X was August 2024, when its owner fuelled far right riots, the second best time is now.

Hope at least one minister asked McSweeney for EVIDENCE on the impact of his strategy of dog whistling to racists & why instead of EMPATHY he set out to deliberately antagonise centre/centre-left voters?? What has been the EMOTIONAL reaction to this strategy from Lab 24 voters?

You’re just the second best fictional clergy

Dear Spotify & Apple Music, Last time I looked...the year ends on December 31. best regards The Decemberists #unwrapped #applereplay

This self harm - the loss of jobs, prestige, innovation, soft power - because of the ‘genius’ McSweeney strategy of sucking up to Reform voters, racists & right wing newspapers… None of whom will ever vote, like or endorse anything Lab does A toxic brew of political cowardice and stupidity

This is £600m from the same university sector that is pretty close to collapse in a growing number of major institutions? Many of them universities that are among the biggest employers in the very ‘left behind’ towns and cities that Labour talks so much about…

Blue Labour attacks on universities continue One of Britain’s biggest success stories must suffer cos…you know…the 20% of voters who hate all foreigners, vote reform, will never vote Labour…but the govt priority is to place their prejudices over the national interest

You have a tax on international students, you have less of them, huh, you have less revenue, and whoopsdaisy, you're back to the taxes you didn't want to hike and everyone is cross.

I left Twitter in 2015 ten years ago because of the scale of threats, abuse, cyber-stalking I received & the real world impact it had on me personally & professionally. Under Musk X is worse. He is a foreign hostile actor, interferes in our democracy, incites violence. Gov should be bold & abandon X

Well If Trump requests this FIFA should move the games to Mexico or Canada #fifa #WC2026

The first of what we can hope will be many legal victories for the music industry in its fight against the AI pirates. A Munich court ruled that OpenAI had breached copyright law and was liable to be sued for damages for appropriating content without authorisation.

Well, this is quite a serious allegation. I do hope the BBC shows true impartiality and investigate whether or not some of its Board members are systemically biased. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

Elon Musk is once again inciting violence on British streets because the government has taught him there are literally no consequences for doing so. They even carry on using his far-right social network to promote government policy as he does it. The absence of backbone is *astounding*.

Unlike Zarah it seems, I support international solidarity against fascist imperialism and that’s why I support military & humanitarian aid to Ukraine. There’s no peace without defending Ukraine. There’s no peace with Russian occupation.

Massive news. Some one has invented owned media, and here’s the marmalade dropper… it isn’t the same as journalism. Mind blown

Next time Vance tries to criticise the UK about free speech - just give him a hard star and project this onto a large screen

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

A reminder - the UK govt provides ZERO teaching grant for the teaching of humanities and social science in universities

Reading papers is a basic skill (and dare I say duty?) of scientists, and I include medical doctors in that group. Keeping abreast of the literature is a foundational part of our professions. There aren’t good shortcuts. In any case, reading papers regularly is fun. arstechnica.com/ai/2025/09/s...

Big Tech| Meta’s huge spending on lobbying to electorally punish politicians who support democratic controls and online safety www.reuters.com/world/us/met...

It is and was extremely low cost for established institutions to stop using social media platforms that willingly abandoned content screening to block extremism, racism, misinformation etc. That they are mostly all ignoring this - including governments - is an abdication of public duty and ethics.
