The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

"Trump may have been involved in an unparalleled and inexplicable pact with the US government to remain above the law, one that was likely buffered by criminal actors and hostile foreign states."

A lovely bird logo and a decidedly less than lovely X logo
Oxfordshire County Council is leaving X, the Elon Musk-owned platform formerly known as Twitter. It says it is “deeply concerned about the rise in online hate speech and abuse targeting women and girls… we must make clear and principled choices about how we communicate”.

I'd heard this morning that a Training Ground announcement was on the way. Confirmed by Craig Hope today.
Important milestone for PIF ownership. People have rightly asked questions about the major infrastructure projects. #NUFC

I wonder what Londoners know that the rest of the country don’t?
Ah man, this fucking sucks. Honestly, hope they find the person, they get charged by the police and banned for the rest of their life from SJP #NUFC
Yessssssss. Not a routine win but in the end we absolutely deserved the win.
Depth of the squad helped to make the difference.
Miley & Bruno both class, the latter player of the season so far.
Two wins on the spin & a clean sheet. #nufc

Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments:
One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.
Wow - those are quite phenomenal headlines given the details of the story.
Ahh look, he’s just a ‘nerdy’ guy. No harm done.
You need to scroll down to paragraph 13 of the Sky piece to find the full story!

A majority of voters, and a plurality of white voters, think that Reform is a racist party with racist policies.
At a fundamental level, we have to accept much of silicon valley has gone insane.
While parents are asked to consent to these surveillance programs, the school’s handbook says that there is “no expectation of privacy” on campus. If parents want to restrict recordings of their children outside of the school, they have to manually opt out of the “anywhere” option—as Jessica Lopez learned midway through her older daughter’s second year at Alpha. The girl says she remembers sitting on her bed one night working on schoolwork when she received a notification that she’d been flagged for an anti-pattern. She says Alpha’s system sent a video of her in her pajamas, taken from the computer’s webcam, that showed her talking to her younger sister.
From new Wired article about Alpha Schools: www.wired.com/story/ai-tea...
800 words please on why this proves the Labour and Conservative strategy to primarily target Reform voters is working perfectly.
Keep the faith!
Ole! Ole!
As someone responsible for running youth and library services, in a charity focused on specific neighborhoods, I can testify that the struggle is real, brother.
Really good piece from Jane Bradley and co at NYT.
Earlier this summer Democracy for Sale revealed how anti abortionists, including ADF, were pumping money into the U.K.
Free Speech Union still hasn’t responded to our queries. Funny that…

In all honesty, it’s not rhetoric any more. It’s not narrative. I’ve experienced more racism in the last 4 months than I can ever remember. The wheels are off in the UK and it’s being led by 3 political parties.
Grenfell Tower is being dismantled, and alongside it, the truth.

There’s a way to be respectful in reporting on Charlie Kirk being shot while also refusing to whitewash who he was and what consequences his political activism has had. Obituaries for public figures are a part of history.
Justin Webb just referred on Today to "platforms like Bluesky, where you can see the celebration of the killing" of Charlie Kirk.
What I'm seeing on here is overwhelming condemnation; despair at the violence of US politics; alarm at where this might go; & calls for equal horror at other shootings.
“Black women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously. You have to go steal a white person’s slot”.
-Charlie Kirk
