NEW: Will Google's AI hype man kill the BBC?
I've written about Matt Brittin because the coverage of his time at Google is shockingly naive.
The BBC's next DG is a corporate yes man at a rapacious AI monopoly that preys on journalism in order to destroy it.

This is your reminder that if you are a class member and have NOT yet filed a claim in Anthropic v. Bartz, the AI copyright lawsuit, you have 9 days to do so.
Out of 10 men , one makes a sexual joke at a woman, two laugh, three fake a chuckle to fit in, and four stay silent. None of them speak up. Later, none of them still believe they're the "good guys." But from the woman's perspective , the laughter, the silence , the looking away, it all creates the same environment. So when women say "most men are the same," this is what they mean: not that every man harassed women, but that most men helpmprotect the system that does.

Yea, I see the resemblance to the other nine men. Taking it in seriously.
During #WomensHistoryMonth, I can personally reflect on this, and feel amazed at how women have made history despite this built in disadvantage.
Backwards, in heels, and harassed.
That’s the way it is

I recently discovered something that has markedly improved my experience of daily life: if you Google something and add “-ai” after the search term, it gives you search results without the AI overview
Episode four of Folklore Matters has landed and it’s a special one: a recording of @cerihoulbrook.bsky.social and @odavies9.bsky.social at Off The Shelf in October discussing their latest book, Folklore: a journey through past and present. It’s a corker if we do say so ourselves!

I hope all young folk who are voting for the first time in May realise what a vote for the Union can also be a vote for the far right and could throw them into a war. Hopefully that will never happen to young Scots. #voteSNP #independence
It's New Year, so time to look back and forward. These are 10 things I think we need to recognise in 2026. It’s a response to what I think are profoundly damaging mistaken assumptions I’ve heard and read from practitioners, journalists, and analysts in 2025. Warning: very long🧵

Calling Nathan Gill ‘ancient history’ is a cynical attempt to sweep a politically-threatening truth under the carpet.
Gill was a trusted ally of Nigel Farage.
We need a full investigation into Russian interference in our politics - the people of Wales deserve transparency.
Can you imagine how Reform UK would react if a Welsh leader of any other party had been sentenced for 10 years for taking bribes?
Nathan Gill once said he "would never apologise for being patriotic".
Tbf he never said to which country...
Vaccines do not cause autism.
Keep saying things that have been demonstrated by robust science and are the subject or organised disinformation. Don’t just ignore the attempts to brainwash.

Plaid Cymru GAIN from Labour.
This was one of my favourite podcasts for ages.
We talk Tory hypocrisy, Reform definitely not editing a picture, Labour forgetting they are in power and Plaid Cymru's conference.
It was so much fun. Give it a listen.

Reform are filth. They represent hatred, extremism, ignorance and irresponsibility. They'd make us a wretched vicious hateful little island. If people don't stand up to this, they won't stand up to anything.
✅ Plaid Cymru - with a candidate rooted in our community, standing up for his hometown and ready to fight for Caerphilly in the Senedd
❌ Reform - no ambition for Wales, and offering nothing but division

RFK Jr. spits out a mouthful of asbestos and takes a swig from his sewage bottle.
"I can already see children getting healthier," he gurgles, a bone from a roadkill bat lodged in his larynx. "The spike in measles deaths is a sign their mitochondrial vitality is spiking."
His left ear drops off.
Probably he has one of his butlers live there
