The WORLD WIDE WEB was invented in Switzerland (by a Brit), the INTERNET was not invented there.

I demand a full apology from Eurovision, the BBC, and the nation of Switzerland.

@tomscott.com got this pretty much bang on 12 years ago.

(Though obviously didn’t foresee the rapid development of LLMs, which is understandable.)

Happy Ed Balls Day to all those who celebrate!
A screenshot of a tweet from Ed Balls, posted at 4:20 PM on 28 April 2011. The tweet reads “Ed Balls”.

Mildly amusing titbit from Unherd's interview with Vance.

Just in case there was still any doubt about how successful that rebrand was.
An extract from Unherd's April 2025 interview with Vice President of the United States, JD Vance: Vance laughs. “There are many blessings to this job. One unquestioned downside is that I very much live in a bubble. I’m surrounded by Secret Service agents. It’s very hard for a random person to walk up to me — in fact, it’s damned-near impossible. I see social media as a useful, albeit imperfect, way to stay in touch with what’s going on in the country at large… I probably spend way less time on Twitter than I did six months ago, and that’s probably good for me.” End of extract. The word 'Twitter' is highlighted.
