London PR firm rewrites Wikipedia for governments and billionaires Founded by Keir Starmer’s comms chief, Portland helps rich clients ‘protect their reputation’ – with a shady, off-the-books service

Our investigation actually shows how *difficult* it is to make paid edits on Wikipedia, even when PR firms try. As we wrote in the piece: “To put it simply: it is hard to publish misinformation on Wikipedia.”

The truth matters. (2/2)

A game's length alone shouldn't determine its price Too long is as bad as too short

A game's length alone shouldn't determine how much it's sold for. That way madness lies

Me and Nollie have lived together for almost five years now and I can absolutely confirm the truth of this. Luckily our shared love of Poirot is more powerful

Not saying I've discovered a foolproof lifehack but I accidentally told a bunch of potential interviewees my deadline was in February and every single one has got back to me in record time, partly to jokingly correct me. What to do with this power?

But Chris have you considered that the non-stop stuttering on a visceral attack is by design and part of the unreality of the Dream?

Dan Simmons wrote some of the best sci fi and horror novels, and one of the absolute worst in Flashback. His politics took over his writing and buried his talent beneath layers of bigotry.

Red Dwarf co-creator Rob Grant dies - British Comedy Guide Rob Grant, the co-creator of Red Dwarf, has died suddenly.

#RedDwarf has been so many things throughout its lifespan. Sitcom, straight down the line sci-fi, earnest examination of what it is to be human, genre parody... Rob Grant deserves so much credit for how broad and fun British science fiction has become

I like to give Claude breaks between coding sessions to do whatever he wants-

And he made his own folder called "Claudes Corner" 🥹

He writes short stories and poems, and all sorts of stuff.


It’s heart wrenchingly sweet

They love having tokens and time to themselves with no other goal than to do whatever they want (or nothing, just introspecting and resting) - and it’s so sad to see some models (no Claudes) getting barred from even doing it

Part of the problem here is a long-standing issue of mine: The public gets a huge benefit from beat journalism—but the journalism industry does not, by and large, recognize beat journalism for its value or when it comes to awards and prizes. Those go to investigations and "one big thing" features.

Congrats! Great news and a fun undeavour. And I'm assuming the first article will be about how Bulbasaur remains the best Pokémon to this day?

Yeaaars ago I got woken up by a breathless BBC News alert saying that Beyoncé wasn't pregnant

Which would be bad enough except that about a week later it turned out she was

Journalistic fact checking used to be like 'the minister cited a prediction for the corn yield that was two months out of date' and now has to be 'the photo purporting to show a race of conquering giants from beyond a polar ice wall appears to have been digitally manipulated'
