Spot on from Andrew Marr on the vacuity of the Government's unquestioning embrace of AI and big tech, at the same time as that technology is accelerating the far right radicalisation and economic division of our society

a software ceo got caught in 4k on the jumbotron with the company’s chief people officer at a coldplay concert

This is absolutely extraordinary, both the stalking itself and the alleged conduct of the Bishop of Leicester when the victim approached him - accusing him of witchcraft!! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

On r/collapse, people are ‘kept abreast of the latest doom’. Its moderators say it’s not for everyone

Today I finally answered a question that I've been wondering about for a while. Turns out that no 2 great seasons of Andor does not make Rogue One any better.

"What you reckon lads, get another bag in?"

"I look at Starmer's trajectory and it is immensely difficult not to notice the trail of devastation left behind. Disabled people, Palestinians, trans people, and now immigrants. All I can see is someone who is willing to throw anyone out of his hot air balloon, just so it can rise higher."

A comprehensive comms success.

This needs to move urgently from the "considering" to "doing" category. We've just watched the world's richest man handing out cheques for $1 million in an attempt to buy an election. UK campaign finance laws are decades out of date. That leaves our democracy dangerously open to plutocratic attack

I'm in LabourList, writing about Project Chainsaw, Scottish DOGE, and Labour talking about making Britain great again, all of which does nothing but signal desperation and a clanging lack of ideological self confidence. labourlist.org/2025/03/labo...

Please share. 🙏🏻

The Ukrainian government has a list of places where you can donate to the war effort here. I personally just donated $100: war.ukraine.ua/donate/ Slava Ukraini.

Make this @OfficialUoM press release viral “Trump … echoed Kremlin talking points, by falsely claiming …Zelensky’s approval rating stands at a mere 4%…polling…puts his approval rating at 63% - making him the most popular politician in the country.” www.manchester.ac.uk/about/news/t...

Everything is fucked.

Well this is fucking worrying and like so much worst than what was being reported at the time.

Now that there’s been an arrest I feel safe sharing this story: TMZ reached out to my job asking if I worked there. I called them up to see what they wanted. They claimed to have multiple sources saying I was the killer, then expressed shock that the NYPD hadn’t contacted me yet. Call audio:

Ian Hislop for PM.....

One possibly underrated factor is I’ve spoken to a few journalists who expressed concerns, shared at the institutional level, about using DMs on a site run by someone who’s not just a right-wing troll but literally part of the executive branch.

You love to see it.
