FIFA one week, LA lakers next. Bezos buying 1/3 of LFC. Can’t anyone see, this is exactly what @garyseconomics.bsky.social is talking about. They’re buying up everything. What will be left?! www.wsj.com/business/jos...

This is the coverage of Arday **just in the Telegraph** in the UK. This is only the first four pages of results, just in one outlet.
The key difference between us and many other countries, I guess, is that our radio is really good. And the key reason for that is the BBC.
Tim Bale@timbale.bsky.social · last wk."Video, as the 1979 pop song had it, was supposed to have killed the radio star. It has not done so in Britain. Nor, more surprisingly, have podcasts or smartphones. Overall, the country listens to about as much radio as it did 20 years ago: around 1bn hours a week."
“I’m afraid there is a chance this child may become an academic.”
Glad someone senior from the sector is pushing back. Labour MPs need to understand the serious real anger from graduates and the people who produce them. And the dangerous financial situation they have allowed to fester, or indeed worsened, in one of Britain’s leading sectors.
Labour has harmed universities as much as Trump, London School of Economics head says
LSE vice-chancellor Larry Kramer points to domestic student fees freeze, international student limits and rise in employers’ national insurance

#AmericanAirlines ground staff at #LHR might be the worst, most unhelpful and inhuman example of customer service I’ve ever seen. If there was ever an example of how technology does not free resource for human-centred experiences, this is it. #travel @americanair.bsky.social
Nevermind under 16s, if we know that there are addictive design features in social media, why is this allowed for anyone, not just children? #r4today
What reform MPs appear to want is to be able to go out and say the most incendiary divisive things, and then ask the public to fund advanced protection for them. #r4today
I work with many Europeans, the thing that frustrates them most about working w/ us Brits is how indirect we are in communication. The Tuchel interview thing is not specific to him, it’s a cultural difference in communication, TT is very typically German and it’s something we should embrace #r4today
Is anyone going to do an analysis of the effects of school closures on the avoidance of illness and harms to children. Is the half week of lost productivity for families all over the country justified by the benefits? Are yng ppl much safer unmonitored at home versus at school ? #r4today
I don’t know how many times this needs to be said but universities are not responsible for providing training for businesses and corporations(too lazy to provide in work training). #r4today
I can tell you for a fact that after the pandemic British Airways and American Airlines DID randomly assign families to seats all over the cabin, then charged families to move seats to sit together. Glad to hear this case going forward. @simoncalder.bsky.social #r4today
A reminder that Brazil banned Twitter for failing to stop the spreading of disinformation. There is nothing stopping the British government from doing the same.
If we spent half as much time and money thinking about how to improve community infrastructure and relations as we do giving handouts to tech, we’d all be a lot better off. #r4today
How do the women’s WC champions and the European champions end up in the same qualifying group? #r4today
This is monumentally dumb. The DM is intent on destroying our institutions. If the labour market is not providing the opportunities for even the most qualified young people, why is that? Universities do a lot, but they can’t do everything. #r4today
How many jobs have been lost through the new jobseeker tool? #r4today
It’s just pointless inviting Israeli officials onto #r4today. It’s a rogue state that defies international law and norms and drags its allies through the mud, without a care in the world. It’s high time we cut all military support.
#r4today running with the dumb take that the absence of entry grade white collar jobs == university degrees not worth the cost any more.
Who is in charge of the camera angles for this final. Dreadful.
What a take, “you may not be at the top, but you have a role to play at the bottom’ #r4today
‘How to become unelectable’ by Sir Tony Blair, coming to bookstores soon #r4today
It’s high time that business leaders stopped viewing education as a conveyor belt for work and take responsibility for training and upskilling willing workers from whatever starting point. Maybe consider reducing the expectations for young ppl (ie experience, references, etc) #r4today
Wes Streeting, Wealth tax? What? Like Margaret Thatcher running on SureStart centres for all. #r4today
I love the way that #r4today presenters casually (and regularly) adopt the business line of ‘regulating business will never work’ when there is SO MUCH historical evidence that it can—not to mention the abundance of evidence that deregulation can be so harmful (e.g. finance/2008 crash). Depressing.
Violins out for the retail corporations profiteering from global events. Love Nick Robinsons tepid response “Thanks very much, bye bye”, now the liberal minded policy spokesman comes on, its back to robust debate. #r4today
It’s criminal that there have been no consequences of Man City’s financial FairPlay infringements. If you’re a smaller club, you get immediate fines and points deductions #r4today
“Wait, they’re actually suggesting that Wes Streeting is trying to stop Andy Butnham winning?!” There are simply no ends to Justin Webb’s gullibility. #r4today
