🍄‍🟫 The last remaining treaty limiting the number of nuclear weapons the US and Russia can have pointed at one another expires next week. It will be the first time since the '70s there is no legal limit on the US and Russia's nuclear arsenals. I've made a whole video about it. Out on Nebula now.

I keep getting served TikToks by the behind-the-scenes account of the Daily Mail Group New Media unit. It does appear you can still have a cool Buzzfeed-esque media job if you're willing to work at the racism factory.

I love that AI companies consistently try the "my biggest flaw is that I work too hard" line of promoting their tools.

It’s times like this that it’s great that Alistair Campbell hosts the biggest political podcast in the UK. Because, if anyone’s gonna have an insight into shakily-justified invasions…

It's a powerful example of the misaligned incentives of contemporary society that Jimmy Carr is currently talking politics and philosophy on podcasts rather than spending a month at a Corn Exchange somewhere doing Panto.

Frankly embarrassing to believe that the solution to the Labour Party’s polling woes is… …to carry on with exactly the same strategy which is obviously going down like a lead balloon.

One thing I didn't manage to squeeze into my recent video about Christian Nationalism is that Reform UK advisor James Orr has (naturally) launched a podcast. And no-one is listening to it. Regularly struggling to break 1,000 views.

I enjoy how this infographic from the European Commission's Digital Markets Act minisite takes the victory lap of trampling over Google's brand guidelines. "Youtube" with no capital "T", but a capital on "Google Search". "Google Ads" just called "Google". "Google Android".

The history of energy privatisation is fantastic. Decades of the government and regulators trying to enthuse people about being able to switch energy suppliers, and the nation responding with a firm "no, thank you".

This year's attempt by Adobe to bump my Creative Cloud price by more than 10% year-on-year comes with the added fun of them subtly taking "All Apps" out of the tier name. But, hey, I can't wait for that nebulous "new value".

The terrifying thing here is that any Labour MPs think Wes Streeting is going to be any more popular than Starmer. When the Tories change leadership, they're very good at presenting it as if the party has changed beyond all recognition. I can't see Wes Streeting pulling that off.

One of the simplest but most powerful aspects of @nebula.tv is that it consistently serves our videos to the people that want to watch them. That sounds basic. But it feels (as both a creator and viewer) that YouTube struggles to do that these days. Even Patreon's trying to build a "home feed".

I recently came across a book in Oxfam that was the sheet music for how to play all the songs from the TV show Glee on a ukulele. Which feels like such an artefact of a very specific cultural moment.

We made a video about Wetherspoon and the crisis in British pubs. And, in order to do so, went on a road trip from the UK's most-southerly spoons to its most northerly... ...only eating, drinking, and sleeping in Wetherspoon's pubs along the way.

Reform UK councils are gonna be wild. It’s the sort of “after the revolution, who’s gonna take out the bins” but they *only* really have the power to take out (or not) the bins. And their decisions will be entirely guided by what this week’s right-wing, AI slop memes have to say about bins.

Just think of the financial damage the film Conclave has done to the explainer journalism industrial complex. Outlets which would otherwise have made bank on "How the Next Pope Will Be Chosen, Explained" articles and videos left purposeless as readers cry "don't worry, we know".
