Read this from @signalapp, one of leaders in tech privacy to understand the implications of Starmer’s announcement. This is going to hand even more surveillance powers to the very companies that already know way too much about us.

Children have utterly let down to date. But what does a ‘social media ban’ actually mean? Is this really age verification for all? And what does that entail? Because on the surface this looks like rushed populist techsolutionism that will hand *more* power to the platforms.

Mouse’s artwork for the front and back cover of Workingman’s Dead really repays close inspection and study.

Hard not to love these Stanley Mouse portraits from the back cover of Workingman’s Dead, which came out 56 years ago today. Mouse photographed each member individually in his studio, then airbrushed the portraits freehand using those photos as reference. Which one’s your favorite?

Persian multi-instrumentalist, vocalist-composer, poet-philosopher #Ostad #Elahi (1895–1974) was born Nur Ali Elahi in Jeyhunabad on 11 September. A purveyor of great truths: “The more we expand and deepen our knowledge, the more we become aware of our own insignificance.” Amen.

Palantir's co-founder claimed "the NHS makes people sick".
Yet this US tech giant now runs the NHS data platform.
There are serious concerns about its access to patient data and human rights record.
The Government should use the break clause to kick Palantir out of our NHS.

Public ownership of water is hugely popular. In a democracy this should count for something. But the government continues to undemocratically protect private water profiteers.
Baroness Jenny Jones helped deliver a letter to the Environment Secretary, asking her to tell the truth about water public ownership.
