Even back in the 70s and 80s when I could be hassled by the police for walking while trans, no one ever tried to stop me pissing in the Ladies or tried to make me change into my swimsuit among men.

There is no dignity or respect involved in taking away rights I have exercised freely for forty years

Outstanding.

there are so many great things about generative AI! here are some of my favorites <3

Well that was a day to remember… #Wimbledon

Any of you been experimenting with AI in your work (or even personal!) lives and keen to share with others (and hear from
Others) on what you’re trying, discovering and learning? #AIOpenMic

Lessons from Heroic Internal Experimentations with AI We hear more and more about how companies are externally experimenting with AI in their marketing - from agile creative generation through to clever media and optimisation. Personally I’m fascinated b...

So I wrote up a whole load of thoughts about my own experimentations with AI internally and in content creation - less what we’ve done and more what we learnt along the way. Would encourage you all to find small or creative ways to experiment. #DigitalSense www.linkedin.com/pulse/lesson...

‘Representation matters’: Barbie launches first doll with type 1 diabetes Doll with insulin pump and glucose monitor is latest in range designed ‘to enable more children to see themselves’ In Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie, Barbieland is a haven of equality and diversity. But although the dolls have been around since 1959, it was only in 2019 that the manufacturer, Mattel, started selling Barbies with physical disabilities. Mattel has now launched its first Barbie doll with type 1 diabetes, the latest addition to a range it says has been designed “to enable more children to see themselves reflected and encourage doll play that extends beyond a child’s lived experience”.

Loved marching with the @outvertising.bsky.social team during #Pride in London yesterday - in advertising it’s fair to say that #RepresentationMatters. #Outvertising

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

Audits won’t find anything ‘wrong’ but I suspect they could ask a simple question… is there one or two countries which gets an awful lot of 10-20 votes from people compared to others which just get 1 or 2? That’s the data needed.

If you were strongly motivated in some way to make a point about your country’s participation, and perhaps encouraged by leaders in your community, it doesn’t need a vast dark conspiracy or hackers… just a small effort.

Costs a Euro to vote online… for about €20k you could all but guarantee 12 points from the market… biggest barrier would be needing 1,000 credit cards, but most people have a few cards… you might only need about 250 willing volunteers.

RTVE asks for an audit of the Spanish televote at Eurovision 2025 - ESCXTRA.com According to El País, the Spanish broadcaster RTVE has asked the EBU for the complete breakdown of t

The public Spanish televote data is actually insane. I assumed millions of votes were cast and it was a huge effort to mobilise people to make an impactful difference…a mere 145k votes cast IN TOTAL in the Spanish Televote.

The ONLY reason to have a #Eurovision voting system which allows multiple votes for the same country is greed/profit… but in doing so it makes it vastly easier for a small group of people to influence the vote… each one of them able to equal 20 normal voters (more with multiple phones, cards etc)

Without diving too deep into the politics - it is an indisputable anomaly that Israel consistently tops the televote, even though a measure of popularity which is less easily influenced by a small determined group doesn’t recognise it’s popularity at all.

Who votes for a song they won’t listen to?

“In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it.”

- 1984, George Orwell

🇮🇸 Icelandic broadcaster RÚV is the third broadcaster to request information from the EBU about their #Eurovision televote.

"We will... request the same information from the EBU about the telephone vote as [RTVE]", said RÚV director Stefán Eiríksson.

No new episode of Captain #DigitalSense today? Because we’re cooking up something even more extra… whilst still of course containing a valuable media/digital lesson (probably). Yes, for the penultimate episode things are about to get a whole lot more musical! Dropping at the end of the month. 😜

I think maybe UK Labour have let us down.

Celebrating 20 years of the greatest #Eurovision song of all time cruelly failing to qualify in Sweden to be sent to #Eurovision. Never forget. #AllaFlickor

Anything could happen to Malta… I think large parts of Europe may find it hard to swallow…

I don’t get the surprise… it was badly performed and quite bad to begin with?! Not like Kate Ryan’s injustice.
