Marina tests the boundaries of FT readers with a report from dinner by a latex-clad chef near Venice. Personally I’m very taken by the view of the vineyards

Postcard from Italy: a trip to the outer limits of dining with the latex-clad chef
[FREE TO READ] At Michelin-starred Aqua Crua, Giuliano Baldessari cooks wearing rubber — and it’s the least interesting thing about his restaurant

LinkedIn has heard this for a bit, but Bluesky should, too: my books are open for freelance and contract work for spring & summer.
But more critically, I'm looking for a place to land to do more research + investigative, data and enterprise reporting full-time! 🔎

Something is happening on @bsky.app. For the first time *ever*, we're seeing durable, modest, realistic growth, and it couldn't be happening at a better time. Are we about to hit escape velocity?

For this graphic we compare the terrain of the three most expensive rail projects in the world.
HS2 costs an eye watering $537mn per km despite being built on relatively flat terrain.

It seems that we have a new wave of people and organisations choosing to leave the other place and set up on Bluesky.
So now is a good time to resurface this starter pack of LGBTQIA+ orgs to help get you going here on Bluesky.

Tbh this is kind of my theory of change in a nutshell wrt why I work on journalism stuff here
If reporters for major news organizations got off X, they'd soon realize how completely deranged *federal government officials* are. Marinating in this shit day in and day out makes it seem like the new normal.
"Triggered much?" is what a troll says when one of their targets gets bothered by their posts. Here, senior US official Greg Bovino redeploys it to defend/celebrate a literal murder in the physical world.
A government of, by, and for the Online Right.

New to Bluesky and living in London, UK? Our next meetup is on 28 January in Shoreditch, we have some exceptional speakers lined up and it's a fantastic way to learn more about the technology powering this platform!
We'll probably also have some open discussion about... *gestures indeterminately*

Fascinating:
The report notes that attributing staff reductions to AI adoption “conveys a more positive message to investors” than admitting to traditional business failures, such as weak consumer demand or “excessive hiring in the past.”
