Crikey, I was in a production featuring a young Julian Rhind-Tutt as Tennyson. Pretty spot on 👌

‘Tennyson the public figure was also Tennyson the mystic, the one who wrote that “my most passionate desire is to have a clearer and fuller vision of God.”’ Peter Howarth on Tennyson’s scientific imagination. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

A fellow Labour Party member once described Wes Streeting to me as Zippy from Rainbow if he'd been radicalized by Mumsnet. which is a very specific set of references but also disturbingly accurate.

A man walks towards the steelworks in Hartlepool in 1963 by Don McCullin. Industrial scenes like this had a grim majesty to them. I love everything about this photo, it is a masterful capture of a bygone age.

The USA Hockey team visited Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada & he showed WAY more respect for these champion Olympians than Trump did. That says everything.

This clip is all over the other place and has made its way onto GB News and Talk TV so I’ll do a bit of an explainer here too! The clip doing the rounds is of a fantastic police officer telling a group of Muslim men that a Christian preacher nearby is entitled to freedom of expression. 🧵 1/19

This is the kind of thing a rich CEO says at the beginning of a science fiction movie to establish for the audience that he is a sociopath and the villain.

SAM ALTMAN: “People talk about how much energy it takes to train an AI model … But it also takes a lot of energy to train a human. It takes like 20 years of life and all of the food you eat during that time before you get smart.”

🛠️ Most people today encounter Dunston Staiths as a quiet heritage site. In the 1970s, it was a dangerous place of work.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

“This is how democracy hollows out. Citizens are told there is no alternative, not because other options do not exist, but because markets have been elevated above politics. Polanyi understood that when people lose democratic agency, they will seek it elsewhere, sometimes destructively.”

I’m pissed that we’re all going to have a shitty 10-15 years economically because a dozen techboys believed that it was possible to write code to the point that the program could write better code and eventually either kill us all or make us immortal, and so they spent $1.5tn for $41bn in revenue
