US President Trump has withdrawn from the multinational group meant to investigate the leaders responsible for Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This comes after a call with Putin.

"Hey Alexa, are you recording this?" Yes, the answer is yes. Amazon is killing its “Do Not Send Voice Recordings” privacy feature on March 28 as the company aims to bolster Alexa+, its new subscription assistant. Let's get into it...

Hainanese chicken: poached chicken, fragrant jasmine rice cooked in a ginger-garlic broth, accompanied by miso dipping sauce and a smashed cucumber salad. First introduced to this dish by my friend Nicky at Hey Hey Noodle Bar, and I finally got around to making it. 🍽️🥢🍚

“The national risk register, the UK’s official list of 89 risks facing us, barely acknowledges food. It points to just one risk: food supply contamination, & that’s on page 122.” A terrifying wake up call from @proftimlang.bsky.social - Government must read & act👇

Pentagon has been ordering the removal of web site references to General Colin Powell and the Tuskegee Airmen and one of the flag-raisers at Iwo Jima as part of a crackdown on DEI. Have you no shame Pete Hegseth?(hat tip to Task and Purpose, WaPo for reporting) youtube.com/shorts/0HJpe...

powerful detailed account of ICE captivity "To put things into perspective: I had a Canadian passport, lawyers, resources, media attention, friends, family and even politicians advocating for me...Imagine what this system is like for every other person in there" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This is appalling from HSBC, Barclays and other big banks. They look set to drop even their symbolic 'commitment' to averting climate breakdown—brazenly advocating destroying our habitable climate for a quick buck. It's so easy to move to a bank which doesn't lend to fossil fuels👇

Meanwhile, new Tesla ad, featuring a photo of Elon Musk giving what appears to be a Nazi salute in a convertible Tesla, have appeared on London bus stops, courtesy of anti-Nazi activists "People Vs. Elon.

Earworm of the day: Roy Ayers - You Send Me. Very sad to learn of his passing. I saw him play live as a kid and remember being blown away. He was a brilliant artist, creating music that went beyond the standard soul sounds of the time. #OutsideBroadcast

Dizzy Gillespie - Cubana Be-Cubana Bop

Ed Davey calls for the renationalisation of Thames Water Keir Starmer ignores him #PMQs

Paul McCartney appeared on 𝘚𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘓𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘢 𝘒𝘶𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘴𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘨, and said AI could create a "Wild West" in which artists copyright is not properly protected.

Earworm of the day: Mary J. Blige - Hello It's me. 🎵🎵 Easily my favourite cover of Todd Rundgren's classic. #OutsideBroadcast

Who is she? Where is she going? I captured this moment of a woman crossing railway tracks near a level crossing in Sandwich, Kent.

Today would have been David Bowie's birthday - here is my Earworm of the day: "Oh! You Pretty Things" "Look out my window, what do I see? Crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me" 🎶
