The paradox of our times: everybody in software talks about how “AI” ramps up productivity by an order of magnitude

Meanwhile the software I follow, the platforms I keep track of, and the releases I follow keep the same pace as before except buggier, less usable, and more prone to catastrophe

Still growing, but much more slowly than before. Note the massive impact of Trump's re-election.

Starmer says he’s "taking the gloves off" and that the Greens are "nuts"

Big talk from the PM of vibes based cruelty and trickle down cowardice.

“LLMs aren’t going away” statements are wishes, not predictions, that they’re trying to make happen. Treat them as advocacy for a specific future, not observations of inevitability

Christiane Amanpour, "Antisemitism is a major problem. How do you navigate that?"

Zack Polanski, "I think it is a powerful message to have a Jewish leader and a Muslim deputy leader"

"Antisemitism and Islamophobia are two sides of the same coin"

The BBC will never always get it right, but it has a public remit to try. And that makes all the difference
This perfectly encapsulates why we need the BBC

So Wes Streeting allies want him to become Prime Minister - for the Labour Government to tank even faster.

We don't have time to play these silly games - people are suffering now.

Keep growing the alternative - they need replacing.

Labour were broken a long time ago.

Time to replace them with a party that actually represents everyone - not just the billionaires.

A party that rejects Reform - rather than copies them.

Time to make hope normal again.

The party who claim to be patriots literally had a Reform leadership member caught red handed taking bribes from Russia.

This article details the speeches Nathan Gill gave that he was paid to give.

How are Reform getting away with this?

The Greens are heading towards being ahead of the Labour party.

Then, Labour will have to stand down to stop dividing the anti-Reform vote.

An AI agent that I would definitely try: one that sits in VS Code (or your fav editor) and quietly watches me code, checking my code in the background, prompting me (not visa versa) whether something has been fully thought through.

Sure it can code up the mundane, but what if it actually helped?

"Covering a war means going to places torn by chaos, destruction and death... It means trying to find the truth in a sandstorm of propaganda" - the late Marie Colvin.

Truth is the cornerstone of justice. Without it we can't start to hold those responsible to account. Let journalists into Gaza.
The Rafah crossing is expected to re-open.

Alongside the desperately needed aid, journalists must be allowed into Gaza.

Over 200 journalists have been killed in Gaza - but the crimes of the Israeli government and military must not go undocumented.

Let the journalists in.
