“Of all the billionaires who could have acquired a stake in TikTok, Murdoch has what is probably the least transparent and most extreme political agenda. It’s not hard to guess what kind of political content will be amplified, and what will be censored.”

My generation had a chance of escaping the Murdoch grip. Then Rupert bought TikTok
Unlike a newspaper or subscription TV, social media isn’t seen as inherently biased. Now, TikTok could creep to one side of politics without us noticing.

Visited the Sir David Stirling memorial today near his family home in Dunblane.
For those of you watching SAS Heroes or who have ever heard of him I recommended visiting the site if you can.
The council aren’t lighting it up at night but it allowed me to get a great shot of the man himself.

After 30 years of using Apple I have to say that the latest updates are the single most boring thing I’ve seen Apple do.
They are no longer a visionary or innovative company. Just a numbers factory for Tim Cook.
Boring as all fuck.

OnlyFans paid $148m in UK tax last year.
Google paid just £128m in the same period.
One is a London-based platform with creators posting from their bedrooms.
The other hoovers up ~£20bn in UK ad spend… then books most of it in Ireland.
Hmm, sounds weird considering Google earns 20x+

My theory is that some of the most dangerous people in America are smart, introverted techies who never understood why anyone majored in the liberal arts in college, graduated college and began reading and misunderstanding texts liberal arts majors were taught to read properly, and became fascists.

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.
