Result overnight bears this up.

My wife has no idea this is happening. Not a clue!

A real snoozefest by comparison.

But I can't currently work out who is shitting in who's suitcase?

You should see how this is going down on Threads* *Next week, when their algo catches up.

*Sets alarm for the 3am algorithm tweak*

We've started a digital ad tracking dashboard for the forthcoming NYC Mayoral election. It's a quick way to look at what the campaigns are spending and what they're saying: trends.whotargets.me/dashboard/co...

Zia Yusuf news won't change a vote in Hamilton today, but Reform's campaign up there has actually been v. bad in terms of showing the party is ready for more.

So, this actually happened, when Elon Musk got particularly crazy about British politics in January. Then he suddenly stopped and I had to Google to remind myself what he was even going on about. Then there was talk of him giving Reform £100m. Now he says he's out of politics altogether?

Ireland's economic "growth" is just hilarious.

Lots of talk on here in recent days about the Anthropic dude predicting widespread unemployment among young white collar workers. Still not much (or any) actual evidence of that? archive.is/wUY67

I don't think I've read anything from the political right in years (ever?) that argues it should raise the tone of politics and believe in something. It'd be very good if it did! www.joxleywrites.jmoxley.co.uk/p/the-right-...

I wonder if the inflation of the last few years will wash out of British politics in my lifetime? (Random example, but Jamie Smart is one of Britain's most successful authors of kids books. Not short a bob I imagine).

Does anyone do in-person tech consultancy/support specifically for partially sighted people?

New preprint on "Political Disinformation: Fake News, and Deep Fakes". In the piece, I take stock of the current state of disinformation research. osf.io/preprints/so... 🧵 A few key points:

Can you help us work out which political ad transparency tools to build next? Take our short survey: ir96l7a6vsf.typeform.com/trends

If you spy a politician headed to Finland, The Happiest Country In The World™, they're probably checking out how to make conscription work.

A snap election is called somewhere in Europe. I stand, take one last sip of coffee and head for The Dashboards.

Psb requirements for streaming services too. Pre-roll news on YT, TikTok and Instagram as well.

I've come to Dublin to remind myself how absolutely terrible Cork City and County Councils are at their jobs. Shocking difference in public facilities and space.

Off to Dublin to see Caribou, who are imho, pretty close to the best live band in the world today.

This was really great btw. Everyone involved did a fantastic job and the music was perfect.

Someone in politics simply throws away the taxi driver focus group? Madness.

The Jenrick internet self-promotion tour could not be more obvious in its intent. Will any Tory bother to call it out? Will anyone stand against him?

The Ballad of Wallis Island comes out in the UK and Ireland this weekend. It's getting good reviews and people seem to really enjoy it. My good buddy and bandmate Adem did all the music. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ma...
