If you’re in Vienna for #CND68, check out my video interview panel with @policeforreform.bsky.social on Friday. You can also watch it now here: youtu.be/UlnvpdZ0o5M. Thanks to @jasontron.bsky.social for the great editing and illustrations!

I’ve been rubbish at promoting things lately so just a reminder that this recent chat with Alex Winter is a great one I feel. Very relevant to so many aspects that we all face with digital communications and how it’s shaping the world.

Humans desperately need to get away from the notion that an accumulation of wealth = superior intellect.

Sure, having personal wealth is some kind of skill, but we’re witnessing how it is pretty low on the metric of actual intelligence.

This is quite a read. We shut the door on prisons and believe them to be someone else’s issue. But it’s a social collective issue. The most basics of human functionality is hard to accomplish.

Channel 4’s Threads has consistently been one of the best social media accounts for many moons now. Whoever runs it deserves an award.

One of the things about Musk and his constant badgering in UK affairs… I almost want to see him try his luck over here as the British sense of humour would tear his fragile ego to shreds… he just wouldn’t cope. He’d have no idea how to handle or interpret us. This is the land of Boaty McBoatface!

Sending best wishes to all U.S friends and colleagues. Have a wonderful day and get some time out!

I trumpeting to all I can - The Shopping Conspiracy is a must-watch. As ever I caveat with I haven’t checked to numbers and stats that are used, but narratively it’s pretty much impossible to argue with and highlights the problem we all know exists if we really care to think about it.

@jasontron.bsky.social of the fabulous Stop and Search podcast is here and well worth following.

I'm here, my profile won't allow me to edit and save, but I'm here.

And I’m on here too now.
