I mean, who among us hasn’t tweeted abuse at the pope, claimed we got the pontiff elected and then posted an AI-generated image of ourselves as the son of God. I don’t know what all the fuss is about.

Glasgow has had some horror fires recently and quite a few social media types and enjoying some *nudge, nudge, wink, wink* banter about why this is. But the reality, for what it is worth, is that the number of in fires in city buildings has halved in 15 years as Times reports today.

Israel is the most fascinating eg: where courts have a whole range of verdicts, including a finding that a crime did not take place.

Im not a PR guy but a sure way to get a bad press is killing journalists. We reporters don’t like it when our colleagues die.

13/ I’ll stop here but bear in mind if you see a Times story on Blue Sky it’s usually free to read - thanks to share tokens - but today and tomorrow you can dive as deep as you like.

The Times and Sunday Times is free this weekend. Like, completely free: you can wander about the entire site behind the paywall. I’m gonna post some stories from colleagues I think are worth your time. But you might have fun exploring on your own too. 1/

School history teachers! Hello! Could you grade this statement from America’s new president as if he were a spotty teen doing an S2 class test?

I don’t know why this makes me quite so uneasy.
