$16 Billion!! “According to Reuters, Meta estimates that ten percent of the company’s annual revenue comes from fraudulent ads on its services – amounting to a dizzying 16 billion dollars” — Enshittification www.forbrukerradet.no/news-in-engl...

Digital products and services are getting worse – but the trend can be reversed

A new report from the Norwegian Consumer Council shows how enshittification affects both consumers and society at large. Luckily, it‘s possible to turn the tide.

Dropped into Cass Art Manchester yesterday to see a friend’s sketches; Len’s more known, in recent times, for his urban sketches but for me the wall of drawings made during a life class were the stars of the show… More info here, if you’re interested: www.instagram.com/len_grant?ig...

Another, from the generation of photographers who were an inspiration to my ‘generation’, no longer with us… I’d missed this news initially but was then chatting with a colleague about his work — maybe under appreciated, by comparison with others of his time? www.magnumphotos.com/newsroom/rem...

With steep declines in wildlife continuing, none of us can afford for new laws to make this problem worse. We urge the Government to look at the carefully considered changes we propose to the Planning Bill. Nature can thrive alongside development, but only with the right safeguards in place.

Finally got round to seeing the M. Parr documentary and for any reservations I might have had, after a few reviews, I’ve got to admit it was engaging, entertaining; there could have been a broader critique but I can reflect on that myself. Worth a look… www.picturehouses.com/movie-detail...

The government’s £270m Arts Everywhere Fund is a welcome investment—but just 1.2% is for cultural education. At a time when access to arts education is declining, this represents a significant missed opportunity. We call for greater ambition in the Arts Everywhere Fund:
