Will be a useful report & interesting to read alongside this weeks HoL report - committees.parliament.uk/committee/17... - @rasmuskleis.bsky.social contributed to both - any links to look out for? Are you looking only at social media platforms or big public digital services like GOV.UK as well?

Thanks @lunruj.bsky.social - really good to know .... they looked a bit past their best - but will keep an eye out for more and maybe take them to the pharmacist - out here in France it's common that some pharmacists tell people if mushrooms are edible or not...

Such a shame but also an uplifting story of lovely people who have stuck to their values - the clothes have been amazing - they seemingly never wear out ….. The end of cult British brand Old Town on.ft.com/4g5rhvj
The end of cult British brand Old Town
More than mere workwear, the Norfolk label’s clothes have become classics. How will loyal fans manage without it?

This section of Hardfork on media regulation by FCC in US with @reckless.bsky.social is pretty chilling for US broadcast / online news providers - potential big implications/ opportunities for BBC open.spotify.com/episode/7oHF...

We’ve got some of our @kingstonuniversity.bsky.social students using it to make podcasts promoting their business ideas - they had to do interviews online via laptop mics rather than studio - will be interesting to see how it turns out
AI is making radio studios and expensive microphones redundant with software like this from Adobe. podcast.adobe.com/enhance
