Petition: Introduce 16 as the minimum age for children to have social media petition.parliament.uk/petit…
Really smart read. I feel this from people all the time, I only read my news, I don’t watch tv news or cable (never have) as given my creative career I know how effective motion/film/sound is & how that can be dangerous, add in incentive of enragement = engagement = £ and voila.
This from @JamieJBartlett really worth reading about the context in which the American election and indeed our own politics operating - before people settle on policy areas as problematic for progressives ask how they know they are a problem 👇 open.substack.com/pub/jamiej…
Love to see UX best practice in action - yes, government should be talking to “users” gathering insights and then using that to shape product priorities!

Sport and the creative industries are a power house of growth and opportunity in the UK, as well as bringing joy to so many. Fascinating discussion at #ukinvestment summit on what more we can do to put “rocket boosters” under these brilliant sectors in every part of our country.

Follow the Money:
For the past six months, I’ve been trying to figure out why the tech industry – and in particular crypto – have been pouring so much money into political races.
The answer is bigger, and much more wide-ranging, than we think, and it appears in the New Yorker today.

Absolutely agree! Literally thought this at the weekend when someone commented on my children because they were *speaking* in public and not zombied on a screen. Being 4 with a thought to share is not “loud” 🤣

Many thanks to the @StrictScrutiny_ crew—@LeahLitman, @kateashaw1, and @ProfMMurray—for shouting out this profile in their latest episode, which is all about Elizabeth Prelogar and how she runs circles around the justices.

Elizabeth Prelogar has stood in front of judges all her life. Yet her role as the government’s last line of defense may be her toughest yet.

This is a thoughtful viewpoint on TikTok and social media algos:

Foreign Secretary @DavidLammy has put action on the climate and nature crisis at the heart of everything the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office does.

Interesting what the threat of potential legislation can suddenly make companies do. They’ve always been able to do this, just didn’t feel the pressure to do it before… let’s hope this is the start of more safeguards.

“You can’t come to the vice president and just ask her to do something,” said another staffer. “You need to have a why.”
Outrageous! Staffers should be able to order their bosses around without offering any explanation. What kind of a toxic work environment is this?? smdh
