I couldn't put it better myself.....

I thought, given the number of big gigs that got cancelled, they might get cancelled, but I love how "old timers" are getting into their music because of this....

I couldn't put it better myself.....

@markcunliffe.bsky.social what you been up to?

Evolution made us cheats – now free-riders run the world If we accept that we all have this ancient flaw, we can change our societies for the better

What links tax cheats, climate denial and political strongmen? In this interview, Cambridge’s Dr Jonathan Goodman talks about why evolution gave humans a talent for hiding selfishness – and how we can fight back.

The emperor is naked and they love him more for it Truth once ended the charade. Now it’s content. The emperor’s still naked – and they’re still applauding

Trump has his military birthday parade and his fans cheer his lies. They know the emperor is naked. Truth alone won’t topple him, or others like him. But we can still resist populists. How? Read The Bear's latest.

Equality and diversity in media and journalism: where do we go from here? Image of Shirish Kulkani with details of the webinar: 6pm 16 June 2025 Adjacent quote reads "Journalism - you had one Job. To accurately reflect and represent the world. The journalism industry's failure is essentially a failure of diversity and inclusion, a failure to understand or value the range of perspectives and experiences held by our people and communities. That's why so many so-called "diversity" initiatives are superficial and self-serving. Instead, we need to develop a Theory of Change for journalism that focuses on how we can be part of making the world better, not worse."

We're looking forward to this webinar on Monday!

There are still spaces available if you want to join Shirish Kulkani and the rest of our panel to discuss "Equality and diversity in media and journalism: where do we go from here?"

Equality and diversity in media and journalism: where do we go from here? Image of Diane Kemp with details of the webinar: 6pm 16 June 2025 Adjacent quote reads "There are some brilliant co-panellists. I'll be interested to get their take on 'where do we go from here?' When Diversity is under attack, we need to come together to share and plan and move ahead. Because the answer to 'where do we go from here? has always go to be forwards."
