I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

It flags systemic risks on big platforms — from illegal content to generative AI— and tracks how platforms are addressing them.

it's only tuesday, but journalism is already having the most incredible week ever
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Important for anyone dealing with Trumpian geopolitics: he has no awareness about history. Beyond lack of knowledge. History is not a thing.
It's clear from today's AP photos that Trump has entirely demolished the East Colonnade—added to the White House by Thomas Jefferson in 1805—and restored by Theodore Roosevelt in 1902.
The East Colonnade didn't occupy the footprint of the Trump "ballroom"—its demolition was completely unnecessary.
