The whole article is repulsive but this passage is at the core of it. She has no interest in writing books, she wants to win some kind of competition that nobody entered

Also, if anyone can recommend a good ND-friendly gym or strength class in London, please let me know. Mine replaced the instructor for their very gentle strength class (for the elderly, or me) and as a result, I have not gone since July.

Denialism: An American History.

"The UK creative industries — which contributed £125 billion to the economy in 2024 and supported 2.4 million jobs — are being destroyed by an AI sector that, whatever its long-term potential, contributed just £11 billion in the same year and supported only 85,000 jobs." archive.is/hvRv2

I welcomed the consultation on children’s social media use, but warned that a ban alone won’t solve the challenges tech poses. I asked the Secretary of State to revisit my Committee’s recommendations on platform responsibility, user control, digital advertising & business models.

#Kuenssberg Tracy Brabin correct in saying reform are a danger to the North. Threats to pull contracts for rail upgrades and reverse investment, total opposite of sensible policy and show no grasp of northern issues.

#RIP #Bowie But now We're today's scrambled creatures, locked in tomorrow's double feature Heaven's on the pillow, its silence competes with hell It's a twenty-four hour service, guaranteed to make you tell. (We are the Dead) Bowie asked good questions. He knew how to have fun. And when to stop.

That video imagined a future with ICE-style forces abducting people off the streets in the UK as has been happening in the US. The article claimed wrongly we were warning about “death squads” but frankly, maybe we should have been? www.instagram.com/reel/DOk1aUc...

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

hub.datanorthyorkshire.org/dataset/7bd8... @hedgehogcycling.bsky.social There's not grounds for optimism in this dataset. It does however underscore your points about North Yorkshire needing to do more in certain fields and locations. And consistently.

I'm hoping that the Bowie tributes likely to air in the next month are respectful ones. The world was moved 10 years ago, in what was a year - or so it seemed - of many losses. He managed to combine so many influences and put his own creative mark on them. Few can.

Holding someone in mind can be a way of caring. "I'm thinking of you" If you really mean it, if you feel it, i think this can be an active power for good. I think it matters even if you don't actually tell the person you're doing it... Just holding each other in mind. It's important.
