As @alicettimes.bsky.social says in this excellent column, we urgently need to reform the school curriculum to match the pervasiveness of AI. The way we communicate, connect and share ideas is going to become essential to education

Surely the wrong question from a news organisation owned and run by an individual who has influenced policymaking for decades. HOW do big donors influence policies is what we need to better understand

Grant Feller @grantfeller.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

I don’t understand why this still happens. @oilsheppard.bsky.social Elizabeth Bratton and @rachel-rees.bsky.social explain to readers the people in this story are Jewish - for no reason whatsoever. What relevance does anyone’s religion have? Are there any Catholic, Protestant, Muslim financiers?

When you glance at the hate, bile and anger on social media sites like this one, you do wonder if social media addiction is a behavioural danger to over-18s as well. When will that court case come?

This new data, published in the BMJ, is astonishing. A quarter of all American football players will have a degenerative brain disease - preventable disease - mostly likely caused by their jobs. In other news, the NFL earned $23bn in 2024

Obviously embarrassing for Harvard Professor Ricardo Hausmann but even more for the FT and its editorial process. Not a single person saw anything wrong with a totally nonsensical article. ‘It has come to our attention…’ is not an excuse

‘A new era’ The Chief Political Commentator of The Times - a day after the most absurd and inconsequential by-election and the relaunch of an investigation into potential corruption within Reform - hails the beginnings of ‘a new era’. The actual Chief Political Commentator

Sometimes the ghostwriter’s story is as interesting as their subject’s. Remember JR Moehringer and Harry? I would love to hear more from Eve Claxton, the expert that Simon & Schuster employed to tell Jason Arday’s story

35 years after being released as a hostage, John McCarthy on why torture can never be justified - and yet 1 in 5 think it can be. As John says ‘the memory is impossible to erase’

In an extremely self-congratulatory essay about education - that chooses to ignore the role of technology and artificial intelligence in our lives - Michael Gove insists that exams and an outdated curriculum enable working-class kids to over-achieve. As it did him 50 years ago

Most people go to the theatre once a year. I suppose if you do so more than 200 times - FOR FREE - you have a different perspective to the rest of society

This is the key point about the Prince Harry v Paul Dacre story. It’s about freedom in an age when wealthy and powerful people seek to restrict it while inventing bogus narratives

Hadn’t realised media luvvie & establishment stooge Jon Harvey, aka Count Binface - he shamelessly brags of being an Oxford graduate on his poorly-followed LinkedIn page - got so many votes in London’s Mayoral election. Clacton will not be such a pushover. Good luck Nigel

According to @TheAtlantic JD Vance wrote this to coincide with the 240th birthday of America. In just 10 years, he has gone from warning about heroin to peddling it

Donald Trump’s genius - and I’m sorry but it is - is that he understands most Americans don’t actually know what communism is. But they know what anti-communism is. There’s a lot of votes in fear

Grant Feller @grantfeller.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

‘Comments have not been enabled for this article’ An article criticising a leading politician for, er, not commenting. It’s an idiotic policy but at least they’re debating it, Roula Khalaf. The FT on the other hand bans all debate on stories about Jews, antisemitism and Israel

000

Grant Feller @grantfeller.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

I think Rohan Silva is right but would it not have been appropriate for The Times to make clear that he is a leading figure at one of these AI companies, Faculty? Otherwise it’s highly deceptive

Love the idea that Americans are waking up to this image of a person they’ve never heard of, the potential new Prime Minister flanked by his two defeated political rivals

Grant Feller @grantfeller.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

The New York Times could be talking about its own country: ‘Flagrantly racist ideas and claims that would have been utterly beyond the pale a decade ago now circulate among newspapers and politicians as they struggle to keep up with the rage bait of far-right influencers’

Not sure this is a good look. The first crucial decision in the most important job of your life…and it’s timed for when you’re on holiday, which means you can’t be questioned or interviewed about it

Grant Feller @grantfeller.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

The best thing you will read today. @nytimes.com asked Bob Dylan for his reflections about turning 80. What does ageing mean? ‘You’re not rushing to become anything and you’re not haunted by things that you did.’

Let’s call them what they are, not what they want us to call them: Publishers. They publish falsehoods, hatred and illegal content. Platforms have no responsibility, publishers do

A truly harrowing and repulsive investigation into David Sullivan. Assume BBC radio - which employs a journalist who was Sullivan’s right-hand man for 18 years - will be all over it. I’d love to know Tony Livesey’s thoughts and insights

That it has taken this long, suggests the famed separation of powers system is not quite as effective as Americans think it is

Grant Feller @grantfeller.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

Part of a truly brilliant column from @hugorifkind on Facebook, its whistleblower Sarah Wynn-Williams, Nick Clegg and the tech oligarchs who do whatever they like. A fight worth fighting

Man criticised for freely expressing his antisemitic views in the Guardian rails against those freely expressing their antisemitic views on X. Jonathan Liew is, sadly, right

We all know Robert Doisneau’s iconic ‘kiss’ photo. As Jean-Marc Dreyfus writes in @nytimes this one - found with a handful of others at a Parisian flea market a few years ago - is even more passionate. But desperate. Two Jews about to separated by Vichy police in 1941

I’ve always found the Giving List to be more interesting than the Rich List. Two thirds of Britain’s richest people give less than 1% of their wealth to charity. ‘You can only eat one dinner’ as my dad used to say

Brilliant analysis about what is wrong with the media and how it can win back the public’s trust. Marty Baron used to be the editor of the Washington Post

Grant Feller @grantfeller.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

What an ironic ad placement! Children of the super rich don’t know what to do with their lives and all of their inherited money. A Sunday Times Giving List would be much more interesting than its Rich List

Grant Feller @grantfeller.bsky.social · 13/05/2026

I know it’s way more complicated but almost exactly 10 years ago this man took an unnecessary decision which ended the careers of 5 Prime Ministers, probably 6 soon, created a dangerous surge of right wing nationalism, and made life worse for our children. It never ends

Grant Feller @grantfeller.bsky.social · 12/05/2026

A lesson in how to govern from William Hague (and Mark Carney & Anthony Albanese). Show urgency, be a decision-making chief exec, incentivise business and society. And tell better stories

000

Grant Feller @grantfeller.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

Disturbing example of media spin that totally changes the story to invent a new one. Misan Harriman blames the rise of Reform on how the media and politicians manipulate people. The Daily Mail then tells Jewish people he is comparing the rise of Reform to the Holocaust.

'The past was alterable. The past never had been altered.' I wonder if George Orwell is the real inspiration for Donald Trump's foreign policy #OceaniaEastasia

Grant Feller @grantfeller.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

Stephen this is such a good & thoughtful piece. But your core point is undermined by the FT itself. You talk about freedom of expression & shaming people who express racist sentiments, and yet FT readers are banned from commenting on articles that mention Jews, Israel or antisemitism. Any idea why?

000

Grant Feller @grantfeller.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

It only took 80 years…but still a great story. A new exhibition entitled To Whom Do These Belong is showing the 225 artworks stolen by the Nazis from Jews that the Musee d’Orsay has kept in storage. Shedding light on a very dark period

Grant Feller @grantfeller.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

As far as I can tell, this is the first expression of support for British Jews from business leadership since the Golders Green attacks. But instead of ‘spokesman’ couldn’t the BCC get its leaders - Shevaun Haviland and Andy Haldane - to put their names on it?

010

Grant Feller @grantfeller.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

Such an important observation from The Times and something many of us have written and spoken about since 2023: business leaders have an extraordinary power to influence, so use it

Grant Feller @grantfeller.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

Brilliant from Trevor Phillips with a devastating intro…but a glaring omission. No mention of the role of social media publishing platforms and the silence of the billionaires running them

Grant Feller @grantfeller.bsky.social · 03/05/2026

I suspect the answer to Camilla Long’s exasperated question - after yet another unbelievably expensive lunch review - is ‘people on expenses’

Extraordinary how many journalists at The Times and Sunday Times have written hagiographic features about Nigel Farage in the past month having been ‘exclusively invited’ to join him on the campaign trail

Brilliant and terrible from the @FT. A superb piece by @robertshrimsley.bsky.social ‬⁩ about the need to talk openly about what it means to be Jewish. And yet the editor has prevented any comments from readers and users. Why? Are FT readers antisemites?

Grant Feller @grantfeller.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

Yet another brilliant piece by @frasernelson.bsky.social ‬⁩ on an issue that too many journalists are ignoring. Crypto and Reform. Farage and his party owe ‘a lifelong feeling of debt’ to the shadowy network of financiers supporting them
