ha ha, fortunately she's mostly an indoor cat these days, and the bird spa isn't visible from her favourite sofa perch!

Honestly, the couple of hit singles Slik had in the70s are truly his finest work

okay who did this?

A display of wild swimming books. At the bottom of the display, under all the other books is a copy of JAWS by Peter Benchley.

Such a good piece, and I particularly love the way Jay nails the cynical selling out that's implicit in going into places like Saudi Arabia and Dubai. "Meh, it's only four pork dishes we have to ditch from the menu, never mind."

For the past few months, for the @ftweekend.com essay, I’ve been digging deep into the phenomenon of premium restaurant brands going global: the risks, the benefits, the way almost all of them end up serving takes on the same ingredients.

Great piece. Love the way you nail the selling out that's baked in to going into places like Saudi Arabia and Dubai. Feels like this is part of a wider flattening that luxury does: same brand, same experience wherever you go, whether that's a posh hotel or a designer shop.

Don't feel stupid, but also, if someone helpfully tells you "that's fake," the correct response is "oh shit, let me delete this" not doubling down and disabling comments.

Matt Novak @paleofuture.bsky.social · 12h

Don’t feel stupid if you fell for fake video. It can be really hard to tell these days. But we do have to try and be careful with what we share because there’s so much AI video out there.

It’s just the world we live in now.

This pretty much applies to anything being edited, tbh. Good advice.

Donald Szlosek @dszlosek.bsky.social · 22h

Excellent advice on paper review:

1. Peer reviewers are volunteers.

2. Map all comments to actions.

3. Address all comments.

4. Focus on improving your paper, instead of arguing.

5. Rarely, and only with strong defense, say no.

6. Don’t take things personally.

7. Avoid recreational revisions.

Oh my God, that's so much no. Awful.

Exactly - and as @soozaphone.bsky.social points out, they *didn't* spot it. It was people on social media who spotted it.

Kate Bevan @katebevan.com · 1d

yes, quite. It was everyone else who spotted it. Absolutely nobody working on the programme spotted it.

Kate Bevan @katebevan.com · 1d

“It’s a low-level mistake but nevertheless, it is indicative. It was good to spot it, because what you wouldn’t want to do is just to make some kind of egregious claim about somebody and it is defamatory.” I mean, it can't be both "low-level" and "egregious and defamatory". It was the latter.

Sean Kemp @seankemp.bsky.social · 1d

Slightly amazed at his description of this as a ‘low-level mistake’. Just a completely untrue implication of Government corruption on prime-time TV. No biggie! www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...
