www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... The short answer is the newspaper barons will ruin us. That's not a healthy democracy is it?! @brokenbottleboy.bsky.social brings up examples in his latest book.

“There is no such thing as an Amol Rajan fan.” Brutal but true (and as usual, insightful af) by @brokenbottleboy.bsky.social. 👇 open.substack.com/pub/brokenbo...

Attention scum teenagers: It’s time to stop eating avocado toast, being and having genders, and do your patriotic duty (get obliterated to a fine mist by weapons that might as well be fired from outer space in a new, somehow even dumber war)

Is the answer: have millions of dollars?

“There is no such thing as an Amol Rajan fan, unless you restrict your survey sample to the man himself, his immediate family, & a small circle of punch-drunk commissioning editors at the BBC.” The Amol Rajan disconnection - @brokenbottleboy.bsky.social brokenbottleboy.substack.com/p/the-amol-r...

Very big on morals, is Martin.

Someone sent me a note to tell me that my newsletter on Amol Rajan was very spiteful and will be damaging to his business. So, I was wrong: there *are* Amol Rajan stans.

I don’t think enough is said about how funny this is. He would have briefed somebody to do this. Possibly while stood behind them, making suggestions over their shoulder. Stood on a stepladder.

So angry about this i might go there tomorrow and hold a protest. Possibly one in Waterstones. Where i talk about my new book. YEAH

There was a long discussion of pedestrianisation on Radio 4 earlier with not a single mention of Norwich. Outrageous oversight by the national broadcaster once again.

And who is going to give them this “cast-iron security guarantee”? A genie?

”There’s no such thing as an Amol Rajan fan, unless you restrict your survey sample to the man himself, his immediate family, and a small circle of punch-drunk commissioning editors at the BBC.” As Amol Rajan launches a YouTube channel, @brokenbottleboy.bsky.social weighs up his chances of success

While it’s probs a tad early to judge whether the modestly-named “Amol Rajan Connection” will be a success – given YouTube’s bias towards established platforms – @brokenbottleboy.bsky.social has here written most of the things I’ve been thinking in relation to Rajan’s post-BBC self-adoration crusade

It sat on the shelf for three years, it got no promotion and binheads review-bombed it because 'woke' - she isn't - but even despite all that and 'superhero fatigue', critics went WILD for it. @brokenbottleboy.bsky.social joins me for a look at Ironheart. timworthington.org/2025/11/04/i...

Asking for a few friends: does a 'distinctly British' approach to AI include paying for the use of our work? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

“Did you read it?” “I read a synopsis of it prepared for me by my team.” And there is the essence of Piers Morgan: Bullshit powered by bulletpoints.

I hope you'll be chomping at the bit to read this:

The FT has a profile of a computer science grad who can't get a job because of AI and this quote perfectly captures the fact that he's still driven by sycophantic awe of tech billionaires while also developing a conspiratorial resentment of them.

More from the Daily Mail ‘science’ page. Imagine exorcising a demon over Zoom and discovering you've been on mute.
