Just started watching BBC Wales' Boom Town - the story of how Merthyr Made the World. It should be great....and then they outsource their own research and credibility to an AI LLM and reproduce it (gushingly) as if it's fact without checking its output. Words fail...

“With student loans the UK government has become a loanshark. Trapping poorly paid graduates in decades of “debt” that they can realistically never repay. If it were a commercial deal the government would be trying to regulate the company out of business.”

I'm hoping there is some great market research behind Wales Online's decision to instigate a paywall for premium content. But seriously, have they read their own content?

This is unverified but abhorrent if it is real.
It looks like a cold-blooding killing by an ICE agent to a person who wasn’t doing anything to them.
This is the video.

How to build an extremist army in plain sight. Wonder what it's real purpose might be?
New: We got an internal ICE document revealing its $100 million ad plan to bring in 14,000 new hires: deals with "tactical" influencers; ads to gun & military buffs; and geo-targeting phones around NASCAR races and gun shows.

I am desperately worried for 20 yr old Qesser Zuhrah who is dangerously ill at HMP Bronzefield. It remains very unclear how soon she will be transferred to hospital.
Qesser is on day 46 of hunger strike. It should not take this long to get the help she needs.

Having travelled to and spent time with local people from Sarayaku some 25 years ago, the principle of a living intelligent forest really resonates.
José Gualinga talked with ICN about his people's Living Forest Declaration, an explanation of how Sarayaku people have always understood their Amazonian territory: as a living, intelligent forest—not a collection of resources for humans to exploit
