I am not joking when I say this. If you take the ingredients for your favourite recipe and just put them in a giant bowl and use a big spoon to shove it in your mouth, it is just as good as following a recipe.

Yeah, why would I want to listen to music which indexes very specific moments of my life and of the lives of others, when I could... listen to a machine make stuff that sort of sounds a bit like that, but worse? It's over!

Legal 500 workers win full pay claim after strike action

Wednesday 30 September 2026
Share
Dozens of publishing staff at Legalease, the publishers of legal industry-bible The Legal 500, have won a dramatic victory in their industrial dispute over pay.

Staff who had been on strike for two and a half weeks accepted an offer that fully met their original pay claim of a £2000 pay increase for every worker. This was despite the company originally claiming it would not pay such an increase.

Josh needs a better tailor. He looks so uncomfortable, partly because his suit is so ill-fitting. If your job involves waving your arms around, you need a suit that allows that to happen without the collar riding up.

I’ve been writing and speaking on this topic for years, and I’m glad that news media are finally drawing attention to it. www.salon.com/2026/07/28/t...

It may be tempting to see value in projects such as the Schmidt Foundation — that’s Eric Schmidt of Google — funding a fellowship in AI at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, or the Musk Foundation’s support of the Scroll Prize to use AI in reconstructing ancient texts in the burnt scrolls of Herculaneum. But these projects are simply two among countless others that have been seeding AI into museums and historical research for well over a decade. Even more egregious is the case of AI companies buying and destroying rare books en masse in the process of scanning them for data. In the context of the dire austerity we are witnessing, the juggernaut of tech money seems impossible to resist.

This provision of the OAPA has literally never been charged, ever. It's the paradigmatic example of why the Act needs to be reformed. It would be wonderful and hilarious if the CPS decided to deploy it now.

One thing to look out for: what is viewed as brave and courageous? Notice how it’s always things the papers approve of: cuts, crackdowns, wars. Wouldn’t it be a lot more brave to do things the lads hate, given they will damn well ensure you regret it, if you do?

I do not think there’s any possible version of Britain where Labour squeak a fifty seat majority in 2029, then things noticeably improve. If that happens, it’ll be taken as a roaring endorsement that the system works and everything is great, just like it was in 2019 and 2024.
