WeTransfer Terms of Service — What’s really changing A recent update to our Terms of Service may have raised some concerns. We’re here to address these concerns, share an update, and clarify what this really means for you.

WeTransfer, the file sharing platform used by lots of creatives, updated its Ts&Cs this week to include a license for reusing uploaded content for a bunch of purposes, including machine learning - and then promptly issued a clarification wetransfer.com/blog/story/w...

Always enjoy listening in to the market traders as I walk past. Today, one man saying - somewhat bitterly - to a colleague: "you're languorous, that's what you are, languorous."

Look, in 1981 I believed that pureed apple was a complete meal and a monster lived in the pattern in my bedroom rug. And then I found out those things weren't true. We've had a while since Reagan to get over trickle-down.

Yesterday, driving out to the out-of-hours vet, we passed a hotel that was housing asylum seekers with a full demonstration outside. Send Them Back and Protect Our Girls posters. Toy small boats. Who are you, to spend a sunny Sunday evening full of hate? What happened?

It’s always “Ladies, if you are alienated by overwork, drop out of the public sphere and become a tradwife” and never “Ladies, if you are alienated by overwork, form a union.”

The Salt Path piece is a solid piece of journalism, and properly in the public interest. But it's also another bit of wonder gone from the world.

The cucumber sandwich holds no value, in terms of taste, nutrition, heft, anything.

A bot replies to my tweet: Interesting thought! Time travel often leads to moral dilemmas. As Ray Bradbury said in "A Sound of Thunder," "the consequences of even small actions can be immense." What do you think? #TimeTravel #Sci The tweet: Tom Ewing @tomewing.bsky.s...•1h It's the question that's science fiction writers have been asking for decades, would you go back in time and prevent the birth of Keith Allen?

Excellent work from the bots here, yes it is quite a dilemma

"we are in the midst of a #MeToo backlash, and... the brief span – now nearly a decade behind us – when men were held momentarily accountable for their sexual abuse and exploitation of women has been replaced with a sadistic and gruesomely triumphant restoration of the status quo ante".

No film recs from me, but @pamhutch.bsky.social is a great guide for early 20th C cinema - and she's an excellent human too.

If you've wondered why UK Labour appointed an ex-Amazon executive to chair the competition authority and handed over the entire creative industries' work to big tech barons and AI grifters, @petergeoghegan.bsky.social has the receipts:

"this level of corporate influence undermines democracy."

Men are so emotional

god it's such small time behaviour to be against free movement, grow up

The sudden explosion of trans hatred and revulsion in recent years is just the start of what will inevitably tip towards the erosion of hard-won gay rights, abortion as health care, and women’s rights. It’s revolting and appalling and we must not stand for it. Being cruel to people is simply not on.

Great conversation about the ethics of stealing v rescuing, animal cruelty and the practicalities of transporting a possibly stolen axolotl from Bristol to the Scottish Highlands when you are too young to drive.

On a train from London to Edinburgh, the teenage girl next to me asked me to be careful with the cardboard box she was holding "because of the creature". It was an axolotl she'd rescued from a pet shop, about to be put down because of an imperfect ruff.

Fell through time this morning as the sound of a small child singing Beat It came through the window with the spring sun

This is my first Easter in Greece where Easter is MASSIVE and lovely, but also my grasp of both the language and the same-but-different theology is shaky at best.

Happy Easter. I give you an extract from David Sedaris' Jesus Shaves - the best ever essay about trying to explain something in a language you don't really speak.

"He call his self Jesus and then he be die one day on two... morsels of... lumber."

Scientists hail ‘strongest evidence’ so far for life beyond our solar system Astrophysics team say observation of chemical compounds may be ‘tipping point’ in search for extraterrestrial life

There's always a reason - and it's never good

Het is een gaffer of an acca! Goed, dank u!

Keep seeing this Ladbrokes ad and getting the feeling I'm reading in a language like Dutch, where there are a lot of similarities with English but overall it makes no sense to me.

I read this after seeing you recommend it in Red. It's great! Really original, able to be light without being stupid, genuinely moving and made me appreciate the personal quirks of those around me. Such a great premise and really nicely executed.

Plastic "paper" bottle

Feel that, by complaining that their association with The White Lotus' status obsessed characters made them look
bad, North Carolina's Duke University may have missed the point.

Props to Waltham Forest Council for actually knocking on the door and asking for feedback. Local Facebook group is full of bitching about parking and bins, but genuinely think the council try.

I am still, eight months on, gutted by having to replace my mini. Would cheerfully join this cult
