I know Bluesky likes to hate on Janan Ganesh, but boy is he fun to read sometimes - “podcast-level hogwash” is gloriously disdainful.

Casting for young Robert Pattinson (yes I could learn the character’s name, what of it?) must’ve been a cruel process: creepy kid who looks like they would dodge the draft and then lie about it.

Might be a stupid question, but are you currently able to make donations in other non-traceable forms, say gold or previous stones? www.ft.com/content/b6e1... Labour MPs push for permanent ban on crypto political donations

Why is the BBC vox popping people about David Hockney dying. Oh you think it’s sad? What on earth does that tell us?

North London, East London, West London (South London is somehow all of these, and none)

This is fantastic long read from @stuartmcgurk.bsky.social (hoping the right handle) - the scale of freight crime is massively under appreciated. Some of the details, including criminals robbing trucks while they’re on the motorway, are incredible. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

35,000 pints of stolen Guinness, 950 wheels of pilfered cheese: can the UK’s cargo theft crisis be stopped?

It costs the UK economy £700m a year, and criminal gangs are operating with near impunity. Every time a lorry gets robbed, raided or hijacked, it’s Mike Dawber who investigates

Thinking more and more about when my old boss, Simon Walker, wrote this in the FT back in 2016.

Was once made to wait to board an EasyJet flight at Geneva, it turned out because Geri Halliwell and Robbie Williams wanted to get on first. I still don’t understand why they did it that way - they sat at the front and the whole plane rubbernecked as we filed past.

FT readers in favour of capping ground rents, guess those institutional investors who’ve been warning the Chancellor not to do it must all be in the 11% 🤷

Why did Fantastic Four: First Steps go so under the radar? Just watched it and thought it was genuinely charming. Particularly the car seat scene at the end.

Could this possibly, just chucking the idea out there, be because Gen Zs are under 30, and it’s fine to work hard/play hard in your 20s (said from my sage old age of 40…). Good work by his PR at least.

Seems weird framing for this piece, particularly this: “Solar grazing will not fix British farming. It won’t lower land prices, reverse climate change or make supermarkets pay more for lamb.” Well of course not, but it can both help farmers and generate renewable energy, which seems pretty good?

Spotted in East London. I know the point is to intimidate, but is this an intentional use of the cross of the order of St John (as a crusades reference?), or did they confuse it with the St George’s cross?

Missed yesterday @aarmstrongsays.bsky.social and @pickardje.bsky.social reporting that the Treasury isn’t going to exempt supermarkets from the business rates surcharge after all. on.ft.com/482ycnW UK supermarkets set to be hit by higher business rates after Treasury U-turn

Anyone know something good I can read on where AI is/will drive productivity for businesses, SMEs in particular? I’m primarily thinking LLM-based applications (I can the value of machine learning in industrial settings more clearly). Thanks!

Well this is a bit unusual - any reshuffle experts @samfr.bsky.social @stephenkb.bsky.social seen this before (outside of Boris/Truss)?

As good a time for a first post as any - the UK Warehousing Association, representing 1000 companies in this vital sector, has today launched a toolkit on rooftop solar power. Supported by 90% of public, warehouse rooftops could almost double UK solar capacity.
