When a news organisation announces it will no longer prioritise people who study, analyse, or verify reality, it’s no longer a news organisation. It’s a vibes factory, a Fox-style feedback loop in which feelings outrank facts — @deanblundell.bsky.social on the BBC’s US partner CBS News.

What a Don 💪
Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.

This year I turned 40, went to Bilbao, got diagnosed with severe sleep apnea, was lucky enough to continue doing some work for @empiremagazine.bsky.social attended the UK premiere of One Battle After Another and even got some Tom Cruise cake.
Far from a perfect year but a significant one.

Gutted to hear about the passing of Isiah Whitlock Jr, a wonderfully charismatic actor, who lit up the screen wherever he would turn up (his work with Spike Lee in particular) but will be best remembered for his turn as Clay Davis in The Wire, a gem of a character+performance, R.I.P.
