I missed it at the time but this is such a great piece of digital journalism - an easily consumable format in keeping with the subject and target audience: www.theguardian.com/technology/n...
First LNER train for me today since the attack last month, and there are a couple of security guards on board, unsurprisingly.
Any anxiety is lessened by one of them telling "dad jokes" as he walks through the carriage.

I just decided to abandon my 1475-day streak on Duolingo, stretching back to 2021.
That's roughly equivalent to over 15 solid days of my life translating sentences like 'my dog is unemployed' into French and German.
Tant pis.
This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.
Essential reading for anyone in the media using CapCut for social content:

I'm no UX design expert, but Spotify's text display on the app is probably not best practice?

We were very saddened to learn of the passing of Hannah Deacon, a devoted mother and tireless campaigner for medical reform in the UK

Ah, the neighbour's 9.45pm Sainsbury's delivery, in all its door-slamming predictability. Not like we have a couple of kranky babies trying to sleep at last.
Correction: they're awake now 😩
I'm attempting to run the Edinburgh Marathon to raise funds for @mssocietyuk.bsky.social (if the old knees can take it).
I'd be very grateful for anything you can chip in to help an important cause 🙏

I've already seen 5 petitions started on @ukchange.bsky.social over the past 24 hours calling on the BBC to save #RiverCity
It might not seem like a terribly important issue, but it's clearly caused anger among viewers and the Scottish TV industry

Richard Tice came to Glasgow today to reveal Reform UK’s latest defectors. It did not go well. Got stuck when the Daily Mail’s Tom Gordon asked him for their names.
It also references this 160,000-strong petition on @ukchange.bsky.social: www.change.org/p/protect-lo...
Scotland's land ownership debate has made it to the New York Times - one of the best articles I've read on the subject

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.
Looking forward to the @washingtonpost.com’s hot take on the Trump-Zelenskyy debacle. It’s all about personal liberties and free markets, remember?
Suddenly Starmer's Washington visit doesn't look quite as triumphant. The bridge he wanted to build is lying in rubble.
It feels like the tectonic plates between America and Europe just split apart
Absolutely extraordinary to watch a wartime leader - who never left Ukraine even when his life was threatened - being patronised and bullied on live TV by Trump and Vance
A petition has been launched on @ukchange.bsky.social calling on the UK Home Secretary Yvette Cooper to extradite the Tate brothers from the US.
Andrew and Tristan Tate landed in Florida on Thursday in a private jet after flying from Romania.
"He tried" - Trump's response to a question about whether Starmer persuaded him to avoid tariffs on UK. Goes on to suggest again that a "terrific" trade deal is in the works. That remains to be seen.
Trump just cut off Starmer while he was answering a potentially awkward question about Canada - "That's enough"
Power dynamics at play right there.

A sign of the times that headlines as insane as this seem like an hourly occurrence in the US, rather than an Onion parody
My 2026 vote goes to the party who renames the Firth of Forth to the Gulf of Fife.
We often see movements suddenly burst into life on @change.org
A good example this week is the student-led response to the cutbacks at Cardiff University
Seven petitions and 30,000+ supporters so far:
