Ofcom Admits ‘Highly Effective’ Age Checks At 16 Really Mean ‘ID Scans For Teens’
Last week, Ofcom, the UK regulator in charge of all this stuff, released its “rapid assessment of highly effective age assurance at 16.” That came right on the heels of its quietly released (only because the law required it) report showing that the Online Safety Act’s duty of care wasn’t actually having any noticeable impact...

Ofcom’s Fix For An Online Safety Act That Isn’t Working: More Online Safety Act
Ofcom’s media relations people know how to email me. I have ten press releases from them this year. They emailed me when they launched investigations of or took actions on X/Grok, Telegram, Pornhub, and Sanctioned Suicide. But when they recently published their required report on how the Online Safety Act is going… suddenly they’ve lost...

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 10-11-26
After a nine-day work/NLJ/newsletter-induced lull in the Pook-Emu Bee, I return with my sometimes-regularly-scheduled daily links. Speech 1 | Foul Call: New York Times Calls for Canceling Sophie Cunningham in The Athletic (Jonathan Turley. Oct. 11, 2026.) I largely agree with Mr. Turley. But more material to Ms. Cunningham's immediate future career prospects, I suspect...

Mutharika warned over Tony Blair
Malawi President Peter Mutharika has been warned to tread carefully in his renewed engagement with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Critics argue the controversial ex-UK leader has become a common thread running through successive Malawian administrations whose economic policies were ultimately rejected by voters. From Joyce Banda to Lazarus Chakwera, Blair's organisations have maintained...

90% UK aid cut: Is Britain divorcing Malawi?
Britain's decision to slash its development assistance to Malawi by 90 percent over the next three years raises a profound question: is the United Kingdom quietly ending one of its longest-standing development relationships in Africa? Officially, London says no. The UK's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) insists the move is part of a global...

The UK government continues to falsely characterize this policy as a necessary response to growing concerns about...

Chronik der fossilen Expansion: Tony Blairs Angriff auf Labour
Tony Blair hat in einem „Essay“ die Labour Party scharf angegriffen (Blair, 2026; dazu Walker, 2026; Elgot, 2026). Er fordert statt ihres „soft left“ Kurses einen, wie er es nennt, „radikal zentristischen“ Kurs. Als möglichen Verbündeten bezeichnet er übrigens Friedrich Merz. Von Politikern wie Mark Carney und Mario Draghi, die ich tatsächlich als radikal zentristisch...

I'm a Fan by Sheena Patel
This is kind of a brave book. The direct desperation and lack of composure of the narrator combined with the omnipresent situating of events in specific locations in London reminds me of a very particular time in my life. In the way that good writing does it reminds me of the good and also the bad and shameful that I've pushed down as the mistakes of a younger, stupider person.…

Cancel culture began as accountability but became a cultural pendulum - from #MeToo reckonings to overzealous witch hunts, DEI backlash, and ideological whiplash. How cancel culture turned into society’s favourite tantrum.

Right now I am in England. It's the first time I've been back since we moved away to Germany and being here has immersed me back in some old themes... like the British class obsession. A little while ago I read Bright Young People, about a certain set of upper class enfants terribles who were the first of a kind of person that is now splashed all over Hello magazine.…

First here's [Sequel][1], which is one of those apps for tracking the stuff you watch and read and listen to, and the stuff you want to watch and read and listen to. I do a lot of that, and this app looks slick, but I probably won't switch to it because it's iOS only. For you, maybe that's perfect.
