Early days yet, I know but Drum has only sold 25 copies which is a bit of a reality check. I clearly need to up my promotional game so if anyone wants to invite me onto their podcast or do an interview or anything comedy related, you know where I am. Don't be shy.

It's not just Teams and Zoom which LaSuite is offering an alternative for: but also GMail, Google Docs, WhatsApp, etc.
Feeling quite patriotic today I must confess.

France announced today it’s phasing out Teams, Zoom, etc. to be replaced with a French/European solution called Visio. The data is hosted on Outscale. Transcripts and subtitles are also handled by French providers. The target is set on 2027 for government agencies.

Oh god.
I just saw a guy on the phone in Tesco. He said 'OK... OK. Thanks for telling me.' He then put back into the fridge two bottles of champagne which he'd been about to buy. I'll be thinking about it for a while probably.

Friendly tip for PRs working in beer - when you win a new beer account, don't assume that professional beer writers have never heard of the brewery, just because you didn't know they existed until three weeks before you pitched for the business.

Is it even worth it for Nigel now? The thing he wants is the headlines of the defection. He hasn’t got those now.
Does he really want to share screen space with someone almost as desperate for attention and screen time as he is?

One of my few “must listens”, it generally makes me feels slightly better about the world, even if it is only because it alleviates the “I can’t be the only one, surely…” feeling that the news/communication modes engenders in me.
But mainly, listen because it’s funny and informative.

Asking people, again, to pay me for the work that was commissioned, written and published in November. It’s illegal to make us wait this long and I‘m too old to be begging like this. So if anyone dares to give writers shit for monetising their Substacks - it’s better than begging the broadsheets…

100% this, on the grounds that the best time to do this was any time in the last 18 years but the second best time is now
This is a good time to remove your children's faces from the internet if you are responsible for putting them there.
“If a woman dares to show herself in public in any way, then she can and will be sexually harassed with the aid of genAI-driven tools that can easily turn her face into highly realistic pornography” is an absolute red-alarm human rights disaster

I know most individuals don't care about the analytics of their posts but I'm pretty sure a lot of organisations/media are staying on X rather than joining Bluesky because they can't measure engagement and are expected to report back on this. Could @bsky.app add analytics options to lure them over?
