This is the clip the BBC did not think worth showing on the 6 o’clock news. Disgraceful.

On balance I think Ange should stay but let’s not pretend all was rosy when we had a full complement of players

Great anecdote here from former FT editor Richard Lambert on the time Manmohan Singh came to the FT to talk with him and Martin Wolf. H/T @andymukherjee70.bsky.social

This is apparently from the New York Times 100 years ago this week. History is full of these forgotten characters but it would be fascinating to know what if anything happened to this Hitler character.

14.12.2024 00:01 — 👍 4 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0My take on the green belt? What seemed a good idea at the time has become counter-productive.
Instead of preventing suburban sprawl, it's encouraged exurban sprawl. Commuters now simply leapfrog over the green belt into what should have been deep rural beyond.
This could be interesting. AI has the potential to transform healthcare. Question is, does healthcare want to be transformed? Plenty of traditional players with a lot to lose…

I think it's interesting and instructive that Threads has been overrun by liberal election fraud conspiracies and Bluesky just... hasn't. (h/t @taylorlorenz.bsky.social)
I suspect that's because Threads is 100% algorithmic media, and Bluesky has no algorithm to game.

congrats everyone, Bluesky is now the dominant social network for complaining about Twitter
