Noah Smith is paid in the high six-figures to write a blog read by Americans who believe themselves to be intelligent. Yet, he is both unable to read a sign and also for some reason chose to have a 90 minute layover for a flight that takes 90 minutes.

Modern American mindset is thinking getting paid $10k somehow for noticing that an attractive woman is attractive is not enough, you also need *recognition* and prizes
Twitter created an official account that features posts that got lots of high quality engagement, and this guy is going absolutely Nasim Aghdam mode over his post not being included. They sent him something like $10k over it originally

GHOST BOND
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Another scandal they're walking straight into.
There’s a good chance the British Prime Minister’s main adviser on AI is an OpenAI shareholder - but the government refuses to say whether she is.

If a self-identifying “left of centre” government with a parliamentary majority of more than a hundred seats won’t defend a vital public service institution you really have to ask why it’s in government at all.
The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

The Telegraph routinely spreads myths about a range of subjects - especially climate change.
It has been forced to publish over 100 corrections this year so far.
Yet it has the gall to lecture the BBC - and whip up a national panic - about journalistic standards

This is excellent. But most excellent of all is the part where Patten talks about "Mr Farage" and rhymes his name with 'manage'.
SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.
"I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA

Barely more than a week ago The Times published an interview with the wrong Bill De Blasio slagging off Mamdani. It is about a serious error as one can get. The editor of The Times has not resigned and there isn't a campaign for him to do so.

Sack the editor of the New York Times every time it writes about boiled mutton.
Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

Fair play Ed.
Ed Davey says BBC isn't perfect but "remains one of the few institutions standing between our British values and a populist, Trump-style takeover of our politics".
He says the resignations are a chance for BBC to rebuild trust and "not give in to the likes of Nigel Farage who want to destroy it"

I can't imagine a job i'd like to do less. Managing an organisation held to a ludicrous standard by roaring idiots on a daily basis, while the main mediums it uses are all in decline and it's starved of resources.
