On the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz I wanted to share this quote from Prime Levi: "Auschwitz is outside of us, but it is all around us, in the air. The plague has died away, but the infection still lingers and it would be foolish to deny it.... (1/3)

It’s honestly very frustrating listening to The Rest is Money saying how easy it would be to join up all government data together using AI. No thought for security and the changes that would be needed in the current (multiple!) systems that are used. AI will not solve everything

This is my periodic rant that Apple Intelligence is so bad that today it got every fact wrong its AI a summary of @washingtonpost.com news alerts. It's wildly irresponsible that Apple doesn't turn off summaries for news apps until it gets a bit better at this AI thing.

Word of the day is most definitely ‘hurkle-durkling’ (19th-century Scots): to linger in bed long after it’s time to get up.

This feels like an abused of the live stories feature. Not sure who thought this was a good idea, or even the best way of recording these stories for future reference. #BBC please don’t do this again

Given everything that is happening in the world, how can the fact that Badenoch doesn’t like sandwiches be one of @theguardian.com's top headlines. Literally it’s unbelievable.

Just a reminder, as you look outside and notice it's already getting dark 😱, that today is the earliest sunset of the year (15:51 in London). From tomorrow the sunsets slowwwwly start getting later again. (Sunrises don't start getting earlier until Dec 30th hence solstice on 21st.) YOU ARE WELCOME.

So @vicderbyshire.bsky.social's interview - in the street, surrounded by angry farmers - with Jeremy Clarkson for Newsnight is an absolute masterclass in keeping your cool and knowing your facts. I love Clarkson's Farm, but his replies to her were not his finest moment.

So much misinformation around today on who will be affected by changes to inheritance tax - and lobbyists pretending the data isn't clear to obfuscate. We have detailed data on estates so the truth is in fact very clear if you care to look 🧵
