Sorry if I can't manage a follow-back. I have chronic health problems and trying to engage is really overwhelming for me a lot of the time.

The government says it has to stay on X because it’s where 10.8 million British families get their news. How’s that working out?

Trump's "Somali fraud" line was always a purely racist attack, but this short clip from Mehdi Hasan really drives the point home.

The right wants to talk about fraud? Somali fraud? Okay, give me 60 seconds.

Yet a 5m scroll reveals tons of undressing tweets, including replies to this. So either they are lying, or they just don't have enough people taking posts down. And anyway they should simply take the functionality away from Grok.

January 6 in History

Wrote this two years ago: “If the insurrectionist-in-chief returns to power without ever facing any real consequences and while explicitly declaring his intent to establish a vindictive autocracy, then January 6 will have been successful.”

And here we are.
January 6 in History
Was it a key moment in the republic’s eventual demise or a milestone on the road to democracy’s ultimate triumph? The meaning of January 6 is yet to be determined

Both @charlotte2153.bsky.social and @kevinmckenna.co.uk have called on the government to leave X. After viewing hours of Grok's output, it's hard to escape the fact that every post - from government or anyone else - and every minute on that site is helping to fund an industrial abuse machine.

Absolute gem of a show on 6 Music now, based on a handwritten note from the Bowie archive:

"Memo for Radio Show — list of favourite records”

So good to hear his voice again...

Reminder: The US has refused to join the International Criminal Court because it argues extraterritorial justice is incompatible with national sovereignty and citizen's rights.
Vance pushes back and says this was not illegal, arguing "Maduro has multiple indictments in the United States for narcoterrorism. You don't get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the United States because you live in a palace in Caracas."

Happy New Year, Bluesky!

How did your top 5 Stevie Wonder tracks fare in Radio 2's New Year's Rundown (link below)?

Mine:

5—I Wish (17th)
4—Higher Ground (14th)
3—For the City (8th)
2—As (4th)
1—Superstition (1st)

(Nearly went for Another Star at #5 but I'm a martyr for funk.)

Guys guys guys, I found the archive of the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures (it's not an achievement, they've not hidden them) - you can watch every single one since they started televising them in the 60s:

I love watching them every year, now I can see them all!

Watch all the Royal Institution CHRISTMAS LECTURES back to 1966, when the lectures were first televised.
