Oscar Dunning steps into the world of short form content for our week featuring young writers' responses to the question of "What does the future hold?" Possible brain rot, according to his view?

Stop that scrolling! Is short-form content rotting our brains?

There is no doubt that engaging with short-form content is not always a productive pastime, but just how harmful is it?

Marking the 6th anniversary of our launch, this is the first of a series of articles running throughout the week on the future viewed through the eyes of the young. VERY young, in this first article! Lauris, 10, and Sylvie, 7, share their views of what the future might look like in 50 Years' time

After yesterday's infographic, this seemed the next obvious one to write. I used AI tools when writing this post, including a spell checker. I also used 50 years of experience writing about these issues. The drawing was the smallest part of all that, and I had no budget to do it any other way.

Decades on, survivors of the Fayed trafficking network are still seeking justice. Alongside exclusive interviews with Anti-Slavery International, campaigning journalist Meirion Jones and former Chief Prosecutor Nazir Afzal, hear those voices in our latest Bylines Gazette.

🔥 If you do one thing this Sunday- please watch this video. It’s a jaw-dropping scandal and the survivors need justice. Video link —> www.instagram.com/reel/Dbh8gO_...

The disgraceful history of what was known about the Fayeds – and by whom – has been assiduously documented by our courts, journalists, biographers, police, and in the heartbreaking testimony of victims. No One Above will be sharing more of what lies in plain sight. Thank you @sussexbylines.co.uk.

Who knew what, and when? Survivor accounts of trafficking in the #Harrods case are shocking. We publish the first part today of a 2-part piece listing the individuals and institutions who knew and did nothing. If #AndyBurnham becomes PM will he finally see justice done? @nooneaboveorg.bsky.social

You probably weren’t planning to spend a few minutes reading about slime today. Trust us, you should. This astonishing organism has scientists questioning what intelligence really is. Genuinely one of the most fascinating things you’ll read today.

Count Binface was a surprise guest at Byline Times' event exploring parallels in US and UK politics with @lincolnproject.us and @quietriotpod.bsky.social in Leicester Square. His message to Clacton and beyond? Vote! And value a (flawed) democracy where he can take on – and laugh at – Nigel Farage.

Actually quite angry reading this. I know it’s a bit passé to talk about “why don’t politicians crack down on people not using headphones on the bus” but I think we do need to reckon with platforms that incentivise people to completely disregard the norms of civil society and get away with it.

With horror so hot right now, I think Netflix should make a Tales From The Gulp series. Fifteen standalone episodes with an overarching plot. Potential for ongoing episodes. It's all right there. @netflix.com call me any time! (You enjoyed "In Vaulted Halls Entombed" so you know I've got the juice.)
