A compromise we can all get behind surely

Forced to use AI at work, hate it. Usage is monitored so I can't avoid it. I've set up mine to play a Sim City clone. It burns through tokens, making crap cities that quickly go bankrupt. Just been told that I'm getting a bonus for being a top user.

Really wish Matt Godwin had a book to promote - we could watch him eat another one.

Hoping Khan can manage to have the same transformational impact on London that Mayor Hidalgo has had on Paris

15 years ago today I arrived on Downing Street in a cage. I've seen off Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak and I'm still going strong. Only two Prime Ministers have ever done longer stints here: William Pitt the Younger and Sir Robert Walpole. Bill and Bob - I'm coming for you... (Photos AP)

Everyone in the world comes to get married at the NYC Marriage Bureau. Last week, the Mayor stopped by to officiate a few of those ceremonies.    Thank you to all the couples who shared their joy with us. Happy Valentine's Day, New York.     Watch the full video at Youtube.com/nycmayorsoffice

‘That bursary was just resting in my account’

When did everyone start saying ‘over their/your skis’ never heard before and now I’m seeing it everywhere (on Bluesky)

@edzitron.com I’m sure you’re all over everything Sam the Clam is up to - but thought this might be of interest youtu.be/qnOmUWd-OII?...

"For The Homeland is not 'The State' or even 'The Country.' The Homeland is not defined by simple geography." www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

I will admit these photos do make it seem like I kicked the baby offstage

I will just keep repeating. I have never never never seen anything like this. 30 years of reporting.

Iceland at Davos

lol lmao even.

As the Emperor Decrees

@giffordhead.co.uk I’m about to open a 20 year old Sandeman port. How quickly does it need drinking after opening. I could’ve looked it up but thought it would be more fun and informative to ask you.

Getting rid of DCMS meant there was no one in government able to warn the prime minister that creatives can't live off thin air. thecritic.co.uk/brin...

Didn’t realise Lammy had elevated LJ Levinson to such a sacral status

Assuming we’re going to end up engaged in the US’ new oil war because Starmer’s political instincts are just that good

Ex-Meta chief AI scientist Yann LeCun has Lunch with the FT and in one of those instances so rare that you know he didn't sign an NDA, says exactly why as.ft.com/r/e503690d-8...

I often think back to a Greek taxi driver who once told me: "Too many people want the harshest laws they can imagine - for everyone except themselves." This thinking is rife on the right, but it is also prevalent in a significant minority on the left. And that last part always takes me by surprise.

An absolutely magnificent Freudian slip! 🤌🏼

Respectfully. Who the fuck is nominating Euston.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

GUYS GUYS MY BROTHER MADE ME THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL BUSTS

"oh, don't forget to highlight, in bright red, the two-letter word in the tagline! the two letter word that's kind of the whole point of this clever ad campaign! the two letter word that links this show to the horror movie of the same name!" "no problem boss. i'm on it"

On the sixth anniversary of the Fishmongers’ Hall terror attack, we remember Saskia Jones & Jack Merritt who tragically lost their lives. They will remain in our thoughts, as will our emergency services & the Londoners who bravely put themselves in danger that day to help others.

Thankful to my Bluesky feed for giving me these two posts from @mamavitelli.bsky.social and @baronduki.bsky.social back to back

it both rules and sucks that isaac chotiner continues to run circles around basically the entire media class using a unique genetic superpower known as "object permanence"

I don't have words for the sort of confused this makes me feel.

For anyone who is like “the creature is also named Frankenstein”; Mary Shelley went to see a play version of Frankenstein and was tickled that they listed the creature as “———“ in the dramatis personae: “this nameless mode of naming the unnameable is rather good” www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/3...

Can’t wait for @dieworkwear.bsky.social to weigh in on this

Frictionless brain activity

BE NOT AFRAID

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

Hi. I wrote an essay about AI slop: How it feels like an invasive species for the internet. How its boosters describe building a future that’s devoid of craft. How frictionlessness can be nihilistic & how this stuff seems to leach part of our shared humanity out of the world. I hope you'll read it.

We would be cooked fr fr

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery. @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/10...
