I want you to imagine people deciding you are unworthy of a basic level of standing in general society, based on a belief you hold specifically *because the last 2,000 years of the history of your people has shown, repeatedly, that it’s not just rational, but vital, for you to hold it*.

As an aside, if I were currently advising a very wealthy person who wanted good PR "big, public donation to the RNLI" would be high on my list.

At long last, we’re launching in Leeds! Ever since I started The Mill, people have asked us to create a publication across the Pennines. If 500 people pledge to become members, we’re going to hire two journalists and do it. Please share with Leeds friends. leeds.ghost.io

so look, some of the 'tells' of AI in here are things I feel by instinct, and I could be wrong about any individual one, but apart from the obvious stuff (lists of three, 'not this but that') and the less obvious (no personal recollection, all just abstract nouns) there's a *meaning gap*...

Living in York, is a great place to reflect on what it means to be 'British'. Founded in 71AD by the Roman Empire, Eboracum was such an important city that two Roman Emperors happened to be here when they died. The multangular tower is largely of Roman construction. @VisitYork 1/12

He brings up kids who’ve travelled from Portugal to see the band and says “we’re all just people, friend” and then brings a kid with muscular dystrophy to be on stage for a song and it’s so easy to roll your eyes but it’s just good and nice and the world is better for celebrities who do this

I’m not saying “pivot to video” I’m saying maybe this is meant to be a smaller app for the smaller audience that likes this format and Bluesky should be a company that finds a path to continued existence that doesn’t require “unicorn growth” — tech has to wean itself off needing 100x to live

🧵 / The 2025 local elections in historical perspective Reform's gains were undeniably seismic, shaking the party system to its core and central to a level of turnover unseen in any post-reform local elections. The net partisan churn is 54%, approaching double 1981's 30%.
