The Banality of Evil: Hannah Arendt, France 1940 @arcolatheatre A fantastic production. Incredible acting in an intimate small space. Very clever use of a few objects to portray so much. Very moving and a fascinating insight into such a pivotal moment in Hannah Arendt's life 🎭

Breaking πŸ“’ 1/ St Andrews University has set an example in academia by taking a rare firm line against its outgoing Rector, Stella Maris - banning her from campus for 7 years. This all started with a very distressing email about the Gaza conflict in November 2023.

A really good video showing the standard behaviour of ebikers in particular. Yes regular cyclists can be bad but the e-bike culture is completely lawless and they are an aggressive, threatening presence in London. They must be either extremely heavily regulated or banned.
Cyclists are denying Sadiq Khan his dream of a vehicle-free Oxford Street...

I’m hoping the Oxford St situation might bring to a head the need to get a grip on London cyclist behaviour. Red light observance is about 25%. As a pedestrian, I am far more nervous crossing a cycle lane than a road.

It’s deeply disrespectful to us Brazilians, who spent 20 days mobilizing across the country, standing up to Big Tech and imperialist forces, to credit our victory as a nation to an American billionaire who said absolutely nothing about our elections. Delete this shit, @Variety.

Finally watched 1923, the Yellowstone prequel, with Helen Mirren & Harrison Ford in lead roles, and it's great. Fascinating how different the world was in the 20s. Can't wait for season 2 to be added to Netflix.

❗️ OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told Stanford students he no longer thinks the industry can "just patch all the bugs." He says most leaders patched after Anthropic's Claude Mythos and moved on while "the models have kept going."

Google did this to build a data center in Finland. It was illegal, but they did it anyway. Big Tech is out of control.

I genuinely admire people who can wake up, eat breakfast, shower, and be ready for work in 25 minutes. I need 25 minutes just to remember where I am, who I am, and what day it is.
