gal-dem has been such an important part of my life as a reader, writer and fan. I'm sad to see it go, but it will always be a reminder of what journalism can be. Thank you to all the people who created such an inspiring platform that made countless waves in British media.
We are incredibly sad to announce that gal-dem is closing. Several factors that have contributed to this difficult decision, including numerous challenges with running a small, mission-driven, independent media company. We’ve shared more here gal-dem.com/gal-dem-goodbye-…

An amazing image of a full rainbow captured at 30,000 feet by pilot Lloyd J. Ferraro. Rainbows are actually full circles, but we usually only see half of the arc from Earth.

As usual @emilymbender provides the amazing public service of breaking down AI hype. Check out her earlier piece that foresees--and addresses, and provides a new vision for--a lot of what Google says here, "Situating Search": chiragshah.org/papers/Shah_B…

The loss of Hilary Mantel feels like a theft of a kind. All those books we still needed from her. That lavish imagination, that beady understanding of power. From the final book in the trilogy: “This is what life does for you in the end; it arranges a fight you can't win.”
