Incredible article about a bunch of children - now in their 50s and 60s - who were taught to read using a doomed alternate alphabet invented by a Tory MP www.theguardian.com/education/20...

She’s yapping again! A great evening speaking on this sold-out panel for the London Press Club last night, on whether AI is the saviour of assassin of journalism (tried not to be too pessimistic)! Thank you to Samantha Simmonds for moderating, and the other excellent panellists🤠

The @Telegraph, @thetimes, @MailOnline & @TheSun publish corrections to their scaremongering on undocumented migrants in London.

Imagine between them the reach & power of these papers.
The fact is they are using that power to instil Trumpist hate & we are ill-equipped to resist.

I kept seeing the TikTok girlies talking about cycle syncing and luteal phases, and decided to get into the science behind the new period tracking craze, and whether there is any truth to it🩸 www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/cy...

A joy to be asked to contribute to @thelondonstandard.bsky.social books of the year again! There were so many I adored this year, but in the end it had to be Revolutionary Acts, Intermezzo and Evenings and Weekends. Pick up a copy of the paper this week and next for part 2 of our 2024 books! 💘

For this week’s column, I obviously wrote about my lifeblood, the unhinged, surrealist fever dream that is the Wicked press tour. Hold some space for it today, if you can 💚 www.standard.co.uk/comment/aria...
