Reached 104 in Duolingo Spanish and feel I’m winning at this workbook. Should I try to take the GCSE?

Why don’t Google AI overviews in the UK just pull info directly from the relevant NHS page?*

* I know why, but there’s no earthly reason why it should do otherwise.
Some of the AI summaries for conditions such as psychosis and eating disorders offered “very dangerous advice” and were “incorrect, harmful or could lead people to avoid seeking help” said the Head of Information at mental health charity Mind

I reckon Starmer will survive 2026. Partly because it isn’t clear who should replace him, and partly because the world will feel like a more threatening place, and jettisoning the PM will feel frivolous.
Excellent thread by @robfordmancs.bsky.social

I also believe that Starmer's tenure as PM will come to an abrupt end in 2026. Will we be wrong?
Time for some more 2026 predictions, I've covered everything from Trump to beans so far, but now we get on to the hard stuff: polls, leaders, seats - follow on in the thread below

MAGA Catholicism believes in minimal government interference in the economy and maximum state control over women’s bodies – and yet the public appetite for this is negligible

So pleased Tony Travers @lselondon.bsky.social has got a CBE - one of the best bosses I’ve ever had.

Apparently this was the No 1 film in French cinemas this year and I just can’t believe it didn’t get a UK release.

I’ve been wondering for years how the podcast economy works. (For a brief pyramid-scheme moment a few years ago, it seemed like most ads were for other podcasts.) Ros Taylor’s piece explains some current developments.

(I, a Spotify listener, can’t bear the pivot to video, but now I understand.)

💯

More Jam Tomorrow, in keeping with our postwar audio-thetic, will never succumb to video.
will also add - yes, this is my personal crusade - that turning podcasts into videos implicitly asks women to once again make more effort than men, as the bar for "camera-ready" for one gender is obviously higher than for the other
‘Painful to hear!’ How podcasts’ rush to video is turning them into dreadful listens

'kin hell - @lewisgoodall.com going all in on royalists, standing in for @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Great interview with Andrew Lownie - I'm with @rostaylor.bsky.social about his book #Entitled - it made me furious in disbelief about just the amount of sleaze & grifting the royal family gets away with

Emily in Paris must be one of the few films or TV series that manage to strip Rome of any sensuality. Sex is either anodyne or played out in nudge-wink double entendres

Forget plot, Emily in Paris has surrendered to Instagram
Not even Minnie Driver can save a misfiring move to Rome for a series optimised for social media

A very fine Ros Taylor piece on losing what was slowly created, our trust in institutions. And people. And much more. I had a great yearning for that old sensation of solidity, when the duty of care was understood by both individuals and structures.
I think conversations about trust - I’ve had a lot of them in the past two years - would be a lot better if we acknowledged this.
