The BBC has bigger impartiality problems than its coverage of Trump My god. If only @arusbridger.bsky.social was a BBC director instead of Robbie Gibb. The whole country would be in a much better state www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...

So, does NBC not understand that editing out a comment about Wicked being a story about standing up to a “power-hungry dictator” (which it is) is just them admitting that they know how very relevant that storyline is right now? Someone should explain the Streisand Effect to them…

We still don’t know where Laure Ferrari, 46, got the £885,000 that she used to purchase her and Nigel Farage’s constituency home near Clacton-on-Sea. 🤔

Fascism leads to the vilest, the cruellest, the most abhorrent of places. We cannot allow it to grip the world again.

Guys, jist dinnae.

Word of the Day is ‘catchfart’ (17th century): an obsequious individual who sucks up to the boss and always follows the political wind.

When people show you who they are, believe them.

1. This is a thread on freedom, and how easy it is to lose. Over the past 2,000 years in Europe, there have been few periods and places of freedom. For much of the time we lived under highly oppressive tyrannies of various kinds, whether small or grand, local or imperial, secular or religious.🧵

ChatGPT is driving people with no prior mental health issues to suicide and harmful delusions. I often wonder if chatbots are simply accelerating what the general decline in our sense of community (because of television and the internet) is doing to people's mental health.

Nouveau pactole pour l’homme le plus riche du monde : les actionnaires de Tesla adoptent le plan de rémunération à 1000 milliards d’Elon Musk

This is such important journalism - Every mainstream paper should pick this up (with full credit) and shout from the rooftops about it. How dare he. Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government says “Exploitative behaviour is completely unacceptable". So what are you going to do about it?.

Further education is being eviscerated. The question is, why? What is going wrong? And how do we change it for the better - from the student experience to staff satisfaction? Academic outcomes, lifelong learning, and research are so important for society as a whole.

The wait is nearly over. Tickets on sale tomorrow. Mae'r aros bron ar ben. Tocynnau ar werth yfory.

A fun question. In 5 years time, what looks better? The US’s enormous bet & capex on AI? Or China’s equally enormous bet and capex on renewables?

Sarkozy se nourrit exclusivement de yaourts en prison, par peur que quelqu'un ait pu cracher dans son plat, relate le Point. L'ex-président refuse de cuisiner soi-même: "Il ne sait pas se faire cuire un œuf!, livre un proche. Et puis, par principe, il s'y refuse". Sarko a donc des principes...

Utterly obscene. Think of all the good that could actually do, instead of satisfying the pure greed of one man. Hell's going to need a deeper pit for him....
