It's being described as 'the greatest heist in history'.

Don't want AI companies to help themselves freely to artists' and journalists' work, while enriching a few tech billionaires?

In an age of media #misinformation and #lies should there be limits on free speech? #Musk claims not, yet censors posts he doesn't like on X. His own posts have incited riots and harm to innocent people in the UK. @janiceheppenstall.bsky.social explores the issues
We need to talk about freedom of speech
‘Freedom of speech’ does not mean we can say whatever we like. We must behave in ways that respect and protect the rights of others

Slashing equity initiatives under the guise of 'efficiency' isn’t cost-cutting, it’s erasing progress.

Encouraging whistleblowers to report DEI efforts? Chillingly authoritarian.

History warns us where this path leads.
The president abolished diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, calling them ‘illegal and immoral’. The order could affect tens of thousands of jobs ⬇️
Trump has declared war on DEI. What will change?

My surname wasn't originally 'Powell'... my grandfather changed it from Pagel when he fled Hitler in WW2 as a Jewish German.

WOW. £51m owed to taxpayers. I always said those initial visitor number predictions were unrealistic. I don't think the city ever truly got behind it because the costs were so eye-watering. What a shame.

Thank you @prweekuk.bsky.social for running my piece on whether PR's workplace drinking culture is changing.

Did you know a third of Gen Z are alcohol-free?

A sobering thought: is PR's workplace drinking culture changing?
Picture the scene: it’s the early 2000s, and your boss is smoking a cigarette at their desk, sipping a glass of wine at 4pm.
