Mythical regulator. Bi-furious one-way time traveller. Repitching with Peter Dinklage in the lead. Mucks about with a puppet and blender.

SCOOP: Alpha School, an β€œAI-powered private school” that heavily relies on AI to teach students and can cost up to $65,000 a year and has been praised by the press and the Trump administration, is AI-generating faulty lesson plans that internal documentation find sometimes do β€œmore harm than good."

Giving Braverman the education brief is quite a choice for Reform. I was on an education commission with her once before she went completely mad and she knew absolutely nothing at all.

So is the plan that when Donald Trump dies, The Donald Trump And The John F Kennedy Memorial Centre for the Performing Arts, they'll remove "The Donald Trump And"? Or just the "And"?

I mean, they're basically the Tory Renewal Party, so it's only right that they'd get funding from Russian oligarchs with close ties to Putin.

Absolute nightmare of having dead relatives posting angrily in response to fake news stories on facebook, or sharing ads that are clearly fraudulent.

I think one of the most depressing and worrying things about working in ad compliance / regulation is that it's the wet and messy end of other regulators' lack of action and interest.

The GPhC really need to do something about shady online pharmacists promoting weightloss POMs to members of the public. Flagrant and widespread disregard of the law.

Won't be a revelation to anyone but the reason all the worst people on the right are pivoting to talking about race and culture rather than immigration is so they can keep banging the drum even as net migration figures fall (UK) and even reverse (US).

This is the next step and it always was.

FBI director Gordon Cole Listening to Special Agent Dale Cooper. He’s dressed in a black suit and tie with a white shirt, his hair is in David Lynch’s trademark quiff and his hearing aid cables are on show.

Gordon, it’s 10:10am on February 16th. I was worried about today because of the dream I told you about.

Musk is a malevolent force in American life, driven by white nationalism and incredibly influential given his obscene wealth. He's a supervillain.

But people get that. He's deeply unpopular, with an approval rating in the mid-30s with Trump. We just need political leaders willing to take him on.

Gareth Gwynn: Cyril (Work in Progress) | Leicester Comedy Festival

If you're in Leicester on Wednesday, so am I. I'm doing a work in progress of this show, which went down very well at my mum's WI because I always said "Gower" instead of "The Gower" and that was noted and appreciated.
