The Sala delle Carte Geografiche in Palazzo Vecchio, Firenze has a lovely map of the UK from the 1500s.

Fun shape for Wales 😵‍💫🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 at least they've included Ynys Môn

@ofcom.bsky.social published their annual Media Nations report today

📺 In Wales people watched an average 5 hours 9 minutes of video content at home per day in 2024, the highest among the UK nations

📻 BBC Radio performs well in Wales, accounting for just
over half of total radio listening (50.8%)

Just came across this at the bottom of a BBC Wales article.

The pilot sees reports from the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) being put through a BBC-trained Large Language Model to produce a revised version, adhering to BBC style and tone.

Reading this week's Private Eye on the morning commute.

Bit depressing that the Daily Mail is consistently the most popular daily paper in Wales.

New research from @transenv.bsky.social finds that average bonnet height in newly-sold cars is increasing by 0.5cm a year, reaching 83.8cm in 2024, up from 76.9cm in 2010.

This increases severity of crashes & reduce drivers’ visibility.

Looking forward to all the political hot takes of the day today. Devolution is cool, right?

Interesting report from Ofcom on the UK's listening habits

🎧 Younger people more likely to listen to podcasts weekly (28% of 25-34s and 30% of 35-44s)

🎙️ Spotify and BBC Sounds leads the way on the podcast platform of choice.

Not my circus, not my monkey etc. but it's interesting to see such a public debate of ideas in the Plaid Sir Gâr contest.

In the year to May 13, only 225mm of rain had fallen in England and Wales, 29 per cent below the long-run average.

By this metric, 2025 has been the driest year since 1997 and the seventh-driest year on record since comparable data began in 1931.

...they haven't been out voters for a long while.

In Wales, it's quite clear where we should be parking our tanks. We need to work to bring back those voters thinking of voting Plaid next year.

I think tomorrow's game at the Principality Stadium is like to see a 50,000+ crowd in attendance.

This year's Judgement Day saw only 28,328 in attendance at the national stadium.

Not sure what's bold about suggesting citizens assemblies. Of the small pool of think tanks we have in Wales, this idea has been put forward multiple times.

Interesting difference in editorial between Newyddion and BBC Wales on the Gambling Commission news.

I think the fact a current MS has been charged is worth highlighting in the BBC article 🤷‍♂️
