If you enjoy comedy, ITV seem to be adding some great standup tour shows to their app - I really recommend @rachelparris.bsky.social’s latest show Poise. Its very funny, and has the most brilliant alternative Bond theme tune

Political media is really bored, isn't it? Quick! Commission a poll inside year 1 of a 5 year government. Lead all news programs, podcasts and papers with it. Use it to push narrative with govt, ignoring actual scrutiny of actual govt action. We all love a sugar rush, but really.

Conflicting opinions this morning on my feed about the govt AI ambition. Tech folk optimisitic about AI possibility, less so about govt ability to implement. Academic folk very suspicious of AI. Would be good to get informed views on what % chance govt has of boosting productivity with AI.

James Timpson was always going to be a great appointment as a minister. Today, the government release their plans to get thousands of offenders into stable jobs and away from a life of crime. It will include bringing together prisons, probation and employers to create regional employment councils.

Cracking post of advice for researchers planning physical archive research. Also, a great insight into why mass digitisation of archives costs money. Archives are messy, difficult, complex, and sensitive. Digitising them takes real skill and craft.

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

Thank God Starmer is prime minister. Imagine if we had someone in that position desperately doing whatever Musk wanted, as Badenoch evidently would. This moment would amount the complete subordination of Britain to a foreign tech billionaire.
