I get why people compare worries about kids on social media with previous moral panics but I think an important difference is that when previous generations worried about computer games or rock music they were worrying about things kids did that their parents didn't understand.
Now for my last, soothing, bedtime check on The War so I can really lie awake and think about it

They look so delicious!
Ben, I must refer you to the Fish Labelling (England) Regulations 2003, in which Dicentrarchus labrax is designated: "Bass or Sea Bass". Tell it to the judge!
If you'd like to start a campaign to amend the legislation I'm with you. And chapeau to anyone who lands one of these delicious beasts
Tune in to hear about the EXPLOSIvE government files released this week that NO-ONE ELSE is talking about (unless they're REALLY into sea bass)
@anooshc.bsky.social & @willdunn.bsky.social I really enjoyed your latest podcast episode, thanks.
It's so refreshing to hear about some of the other things that happened this week when one political event risks becoming the sole topic of every political podcast (I know you covered this well too).
Great article on the Thames Water disaster, driven by Wall St vulture funds, who profit from pollution and fleecing British billpayers.

Shocking scale of Thames Water's vandalism revealed by the always excellent @willdunn.bsky.social:
Revealed: Thames Water's environmental and financial disaster. New research reveals Britain’s biggest water company has been illegally polluting rivers at an even greater scale than previously thought.

Surely the AI answer to this question is: "just take it, pretend you need it to cure all disease or destroy all jobs or whatever"
"It is striking how many peers tried, and failed, to enter parliament by democratic means."

The taxpayer hands over about £1,000 in expenses for each of Daniel Hannan's opinions. Worth every penny!

This is a blunt falsehood from Farage. 3.5m Epstein files were released on 30 Jan and on Jan 31, the FT carried a front-page story on Mandelson (see image).
People like Farage seem to dislike reporters aslking questions. If you do like reporters asking questions, pay for some (any!) journalism.
On the latest episode of the @newstatesman1913.bsky.social podcast, @willdunn.bsky.social and I chat Labour’s unpopularity contest, the joys of figure skating and consider advice from RFK Jr's nutrition chatbot...
Interesting piece, but I think there's a risk of overthinking this. If the revelations from Bellingcat or the Litvinenko inquiry show us anything, it's that the Russian secret services are staggeringly incompetent.

That also sounds very possible. The CPS said he took "around £40,000" in bribes in less than a year... if Karla had a budget for £80k then someone's in trouble!

Sorry we didn't regulate Big Tech as it destroyed your job! Also, we're spending the taxes you paid on a chirpy little app made by Big Tech to send you messages about how to become a gig worker for Big Tech
