feels a bit weird that we keep having these stories about individual cyber attacks but without anyone really joining the dots and going "okay, shall we maybe talk about this as a major global story"

Japan is just a few days away from running out of Asahi Super Dry as the producer of the nation’s most popular beer wrestles with a devastating cyber attack that has shut down its domestic breweries www.ft.com/content/bb86...

Possibly the only other thing that unites as many tribes of men is cricket.

Thinking about it, CAMRA is brilliantly cross cutting. From Faragist real ale heads to Patagonia-wearing centrist dads.

Harry Rose @harryrose.bsky.social · 10d

As they should.

Padraig Reidy @padraigreidy.bsky.social · 10d

You can imagine most members of the Labour cabinet being CAMRA members and/or having a subscription to Which?

Rubbish when you wear a nice suit and then have to ruin it by hanging a photo of yourself from 10 years ago round your neck all day.

Commissioned a hotshot new columnist to write about bins.

2025 will be be remembered for the triumphant return of the best British band of the 90s. Really can't get enough of the new Suede album.

My GP experience has been transformed by e-consult. Leaves the phone option for people who need an urgent, same day appointment.

Harry Rose @harryrose.bsky.social · 11d

The new Suede album is properly good.

Harry Rose @harryrose.bsky.social · 16d

Good point. One thing I do is make a list of the best captains for the next 5 weeks. If Salah isn't on it, or maybe only on it once or twice with Haaland almost as good, makes sense to sell.

Harry Rose @harryrose.bsky.social · 16d

You're all over it! I'd be tempted to keep Salah and sell Fernandez, Watkins and Mateta for Haaland, Reijnders and a cheap bench striker.

This month's cover story is getting some press today. We bought convincing high-end fakes on online marketplaces and tested some, took others apart. Some just didn't work, others were dangerous. Read the investigation here:

Bluesky isn’t perfect but at least its owner isn’t demanding violent insurrection in the UK from thousands of miles away

What are his principles? Apart from religiously playing 3-4-3, I mean. Just seems weird to me that people seem to equate inflexibility with being principled.

Professionals. Apart from Clive James.

You can fit a toddler in one alongside all your shit, ideal when a pram isn't viable on/around a beach.

Guilty.

Great pic choice and headline.

Harry Rose @harryrose.bsky.social · Aug 21

Yes, baffling that eds failed to at least look the person up and no linkedin for a freelance would be such an obvious red flag.

Harry Rose @harryrose.bsky.social · Aug 21

Bravo @jacobfuredi.bsky.social and @pressgazette.co.uk @charlottetobitt.bsky.social for rumbling this. Doesn't reflect brilliantly on the magazine industry, sadly.

Wired and Business Insider remove 'AI-written' freelance articles

Wired and Business Insider have removed freelance articles over concerns they were written by AI under a fake name.

Isn't the point that that rate for that piece was a red flag to the editor (I know freelance rates can be shocking, but still).

I wish. Packed train amid chaos so it’s in First Class only!
