Did they say why they haven't moved to video, if that's where the audience is?
If I was to take a guess it's because old media was easier, and in the case of Twitter it was free. Video is scary and costs more to do it properly?

Talk Easy x Search Engine This week, we’re sharing something we loved. An interview with Fresh Air’s Terry Gross about a life made out of conversation. Check out Talk Easy Check out Fresh Ai…

A very beautiful and moving interview.
Thank you @samfragoso.bsky.social

I knew very little about Terry Gross and I can't recommend this enough.

PPF confirms levy will be cut to zero

Yeah, you are right. The BBC are missing an Aussie bonus point.

But still, all four teams with two wins and two losses is great, and completely bonkers

It's been quite a championship so far 👀

What an opening line 😤😠😤

If he's the first on the list then he's hardly been cancelled has he?

Sorry but couldn't read it after that

There can't be many Ineos grand tour line ups without a British rider?

Chapeau to Kwiato, I love seeing him race and I hope he gets some opportunities in the next few weeks

I always enjoy reading the TripAdvisor London Forum because I'm fascinated to see what foreign tourists expect, what they ask about and what surprises them. I thought this post from someone from Texas was a really lovely and cheering comment about riding the tube late at night

The older one gets, the more one comes to realise that the “grown ups” you always assumed were running things and basically knew what they were doing are really just winging it, and are often either utterly clueless or lacking in any real power to do what they’re expected to do.

As it seems to be today's discourse: took me until i was about 23, and a fair bit of coaching from female friends IRL and online, to understand that being a nerd had NOTHING to do with my lack of getting laid.

Was mostly about accepting women were people. Which is shocking. But it was early 2000s.

We went to see it yesterday and loved it. The best one since the original.

This is potentially great news from the PPF, opening the door to zero PPF levies.

Along with the S37 announcement, it's been a good day in the world of #pensions

UK pensions bill coming today! Covers key areas including: small pot consolidation, income in retirement, value for money, multi employer scheme consolidation, DB surplus extraction, DB superfunds, ppf levy, and controversial ‘reserve’ power to set asset allocation targets… on.ft.com/4kv5z6L

My best men (my sisters) ran a game of bingo and I 'won' my wife.

Our family owned a social club and the nightly bingo was a long standing family joke

My friend, the NHS can't even test all the autistic children for autism.

More than 80 per cent of 55- to 64-year-olds said they regularly played out on the street and had freedom to explore when they were young, compared with only a quarter of children today, according to a 2022 survey.

Why are children not playing in the street? An FT piece analysing the - very concerning - decline in outdoor play manages to look at every possible cause: screens, spaces, school timetable changes. Apart from one.

Cars.

It is simply not safe for kids to play outside on streets.

Scoreboard say Bristol 14 Bath Rugby 21

Watching Bristol Bears V Bath Rugby and five tries scored in the first 20 minutes.
Very daft game of #rugby

This is great news. I moved to Bristol in 2003 and remember it being talked about even then.

Well done to everyone involved 👏

Interesting counter view to the current gilt media coverage.

Thanks @writebikerepeat.bsky.social
Great write up.
I think both reigning senior nat champs will keep their jerseys, but should be more competitive this year

I rarely get through a day without using it in a sentence but apparently they have done so just 13 times this year!

Yep, I agree with that. A lot less exciting with him riding.

We've had some good stories so far with Vandeputte, Nys, Orts etc. but all now seem trivial battles
