recently learned about “dek bass”, a sound system culture in rural West Bengal, using cassette decks and homemade systems, and it’s remarkable because 1) the music and equipment are sick and 2) the DJ always looks like he’s being briefed on a national security issue

France announced today it’s phasing out Teams, Zoom, etc. to be replaced with a French/European solution called Visio. The data is hosted on Outscale. Transcripts and subtitles are also handled by French providers. The target is set on 2027 for government agencies.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Was really sad today to find out that ‘The Runaway Dinner’ by Allan Ahlberg and Bruce Ingman is out of print. Was going to buy a copy for my niece. @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social please note that this is one of our family’s favourite picture books. Please consider reprinting 🙏🏾

If we reduce global CO2 emissions over the next ten years at the rate at which we increased them from 2000 to 2010, we will be pretty close to aligning with the 2C budget
