Several questions answered, and Alex & Julia are coming back for more later this afternoon. So if there’s anything you want to know about @mysociety.org’s website @theyworkforyou.com, go ahead and ask. No question too small, large, dumb, or full of kittens.
Today on Reddit's r/ukpolitics: ask us anything (about TheyWorkForYou). Kicking off at 1pm, but you can add questions ahead of time! www.reddit.com/r/ukpolitics... #politics #theyworkforyou #parliament #parliamentarymonitoring #civictech

If you’d told me we’d need these skills a couple of years ago, I’d have assumed you were describing an unusual sci-fi novel.
Thread on how to detect ai in that viral dog video
Yeah, I mean, I'm critical of any video nowadays that is trying to elicit an emotional response, especially when it's asking for subs at the end. It's weird that all the people seem to end up with the dog they want. And shelters are overflowing, where are the rooms full of people wanting to adopt?

Reminds me that I wish I had time to make Wikipedia articles around the many comics makers in Brighton; cementing the scene around @cartooncounty.bsky.social and beyond, for some kind of posterity. Not least because this would also increase the number of female creators with a Wikipedia presence.
but I do get quite regular "well... I see you don't have a wikipedia article about you... and yet are you not NOTABLE? perhaps I could WRITE ONE FOR YOU for a SMALL FEE... after all it would be a shame if someone ELSE who does not have your best interests at heart were to write one, would it not"

This does seem like the most fun reason for a young person to move to Chicago for six months (current political situation notwithstanding).

IF YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE A COMIC...

Please talk about it on this thread! I would love to hear what stage you are at, what is working well, and what has proven more difficult than you thought.

Share a bit of art, if you can!

Sing your own praises, if you like!

As you may be able to tell from the stylistic flourishes, I very much enjoyed writing up this piece - and it’s also covering a great project with some very robust thinking behind it. www.mysociety.org/2025/11/24/w...
What can we learn from a clock that's stopped?
Stopped clocks in the public domain may be a sign of something else... a result of austerity, an indictment of selling public buildings into private hands. The data, obtained via FOI, reveals all.
