Britons should use money we haven't got to buy food the country doesn't grow, store it in homes that don't exist, in spare rooms that got taxed away, so we can survive when reservoirs nobody built run dry because of a climate the govt won't protect. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

When you buy direct, you aren't helping the corporation that avoids tax, or the book chain that supports Israel. You're just helping me and my family. The Wolf That Chews Rocks is a hilarious 5-star yomp through the history of dogs. You'll love it. 25% off via the link on russelljonesauthor.com

A state failure that had devastating human consequences. Yet no-one has been held responsible from the PM Johnson down. This is one reason why people continue to be suspicious & resentful of the British state

No ISBNs in Canada for AI writing. This is a fantastic policy, and every country should do the same. www.canada.ca/en/library-a...

The BBC could save a fortune if it gave up its obsession with 'celebrities'. It could then concentrate on what it does best, instead of this process of enshittification by a thousand cuts. #BBC BBC News - BBC to cut raft of Radio 4 programmes including You and Yours www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If some bad things are an acceptable price for AI’s progress, OpenAI can dig into its deep pockets to pay that price itself – for instance if its agents go rogue and do damage to government or private company systems,. It can’t, and shouldn’t, get the financial upside when everything goes right

How is it free? Because the absence of tax and overheads allows a vast investor bubble, which will burst and cause a financial crisis like 2008, when we haven't even recovered from that yet. You think the far right came from nowhere? No, it came from a financial crisis. Which we are still in.
www.theguardian.com/science/vide... Yes, obviously. We have not evolved to process these chemicals safely through our bodies.

@channel4tv.bsky.social Bake Off #GBBO is not a 90-minute programme; it's a one-hour show whose pastry you are rolling far too thinly to fit an oversized baking sheet.

It only feels “radically progressive” because we’ve spent 40 years normalising radically regressive ideas. This was broadly how Britain worked from 1945–79, when average GDP growth was 2.6% a year — compared with 1.9% in the post-Thatcher years. It works www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Good. Now arrest those who were with him for conspiracy, and then arrest those who tried to set fire to a hotel for arson. And then proscribe the group as a terrorist organisation. Which is what you are if you use violence for political ends. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
