Also, can I just say, personally, I think it is fully insane that a lot of soft left MPs have decided that Louise Haigh doing something daft at the start of her career re: a lost mobile phone is electoral Kryptonite but Angela Rayner's May 2025 home purchase is no big deal.

ai feature implementation strategy is essentially “how annoying can we make the ui” so people accidently hit ai features so these companies can brag about how “highly used” ai features are internally

Taylor Lorenz tweeting "As for social media 'addiction' there literally is no such thing. No diagnosis for that. Social media is not remotely the same as alcohol, nicotine, or heroin. There is no such thing as 'dopamine hits' which is merely pseudo-science sounding garnish on a load of served-up crap"

I feel like Goodwin is getting a lesson in the fact that, even in hard right politics, you can be either pleasant to work with or good at the job but you do actually need to be one of them. His cardinal error was to be a prickly, thin-skinned arsehole and then lose. No one to blame but himself.

Same with Covid right now currently. This is exactly what disabled people are currently experiencing right now during the ongoing pandemic, stigmatization, people gleefully cheering their deaths on the right and the left. Yet it's totally normalized on the internet/in the media

I think most people understand the Republican response to AIDS in the 80s/90s as apathy or silence but they were genuinely quite gleeful about it

the democratic party got a single gen z representative with david hogg and he started actually representing the resentment young generations have to old and weak democratic leadership and canned him. pathetic. this party will genuinely never change and keep losing to republicans. bleak

I think of this as 'everything is comms' disease. This interview looked awful because the policy is, in fact, awful. You can't do an interview about it and come across well unless your interlocutor is under-prepared!

‘Rising star’ minister dim on Labour benefit cuts
Torsten Bell has long been seen in Labour circles as a rising star, and it had been so far so good since the general election for the new MP.

He was one of the first frontbenchers of the 2024 intake and it looked as if, for the special adviser turned economist turned minister, the only way was up.

But a car-crash interview on BBC Newsnight after Labour’s £5 billion benefits cut raised stark questions about the brightness of the Swansea West MP’s future.

He has been described as arrogant, lacking empathy and out of touch for ploughing through questions from Victoria Derbyshire such as: “Are you okay with making people worse off?”

A little human touch would go a long way in helping ministers sell the “moral case” for Labour’s welfare reforms.

I don’t know what journal editors are out there telling authors to remove references to their own work by replacing the in-text citation with (Author) but they need to be launched into the sun, it’s bad practice and makes the author more likely to be identified
