Why is Keir Starmer so hellbent on digital ID? Two words: Tony Blair.
At @thenerve_news we’ve tracked Blair’s influence - & his billionaire backer Larry Ellison - behind a policy that nobody asked for & almost nobody wants.

This is the full list of info the US is proposing to require from applicants for an ESTA (electronic travel authorisation) to secure visa-free travel to America. This would apply to every UK holidaymaker, conference attendee or businessperson. public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-22461.pdf

Quite randomly this image of Wembley from the 1923 FA Cup final appeared on Insta. It’s as if it’s in the middle of nowhere.

I've gone down a rabbithole of dead WWE wrestler videos. A surprising amount of them have died from cocaine toxicity / overdose so my curiosity got the better of me to see how much that would require. The answer is: a lot. Like, "map of Ukraine in Lord of War" amount. Brian Wilson put to shame.

You just know that Murdo Fraser and Alex Cole-Hamilton are furiously refreshing the Queensferry Crossing status page, waiting for it to close due to the weather so they can gloat on Twitter about it

In summary, The North is in the north, The South is in the south, and the Midlands are in neither. Glad that's been cleared up

So much of their non-sport TV business is tied to WB.
Oh dear.

Netflix has an agreement to buy Warner Bros Discovery for the film/tv studio and also taking control of HBO and the just-about-to-launch-in-UK HBO Max streaming service. I would be verrrrrry worried if I was Sky. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

The first school to market itself as AI free is going to corner the market on people interested in actually learning. And I would not be surprised if rich families and the children of people creating this tech were the first movers.
My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.
