Solidarity with Zack. I can't imagine what it's like trying to have a difficult, nuanced, grown up conversation about an incredibly serious issue and while being constantly shouted at in that way. It's a nightmare just watching.

You're living through one of the biggest technological transformations in world history and it has nothing to do with AI

Grid scale batteries are changing our electricity system. Excellent new visual story on batteries in FT today shows just how far this technology has evolved.

Fasten your seatbelts, this is just the beginning.

That’s awesome. I was concerned this streaming series completely threw out a millennia of dramatic theory. But now my concerns are assuaged.

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

This is exactly what we need. This is it.

"New York City Council member Chi Ossé, a close ally of Zohran Mamdani, is privately discussing a run against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)"

Scoop: Mamdani ally weighs challenging Hakeem Jeffries

Just talking about a potential campaign could drive a further wedge between Mamdani — the democratic socialist in line to be New York's next mayor — and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)

This doesn't fit your focus, but I've just launched @localfiles.club which publishes short-form audio fiction on Bandcamp. Our first release comes out November 14. We'd love to be included, if you'll have us! And if not, hope you enjoy as a listener. 😀

in 2007, steve jobs promised an all-in-one device that would serve as a cell phone, an ipod, and an internet device. what he introduced next was the Mac Pack: a 135-pound backpack with a pull-over steel dome housing a computer monitor, a 14-foot aerial antenna, and a 900-foot retractable power cable

Reform UK and the Green Party have a similar amount of public support but you'd never know it by watching the BBC.

Tory Fibs @toryfibs.bsky.social · 9d

The BBC

• Refused to interview Zack Polanski after he was elected leader in September.

• Cancelled a Zack Polanski interview after his Conference Speech.

Every other elected party leader of other parties got both a post election interview and a conference interview.
