Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments:
One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.

Also I can confirm that AI video generation is very much not at the 'just type it in and get what you want' stage. Getting this sort of thing back was the norm, not the exception #recallmemaybe

As US investment in AI is in the spotlight- what does this mean for truth? We have been working on a drama for many months about AI, memory, what we believe to be true and how to protect it. It's here to watch now.
FT Drama: Stephen Fry and Gemma Whelan star in a moving story about a grandfather with dementia who uses AI to fill in memory gaps – but which memories are really true? And how is AI defining who we are?

‘We can’t invent hope. But we can find a way to live without faking it, to forge something good out of this anger, and this love. In that determination, we can create the fertile soil for hope to take root when it decides to arrive.’
I wrote for the Guardian’s Saturday magazine about my son Max, who changed how I see the world. Took ages. More jokes after the first bit.
Thanks Merope Mills for being the most patient and generous editor.

The boy who came back: the near-death, and changed life, of my son Max
It was, we were told, a case of sudden infant death syndrome interrupted. What followed would transform my understanding of parenting, disability and the breadth of what makes a meaningful life

Opinion from the FT's Editorial Board: 'The US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.' www.ft.com/content/f5fd...
