Samsung just announced an all time quarterly profit (quarterly!) of $62 *billion* and here they are gating access to emergency services. This is properly dystopian.

Enthralling finish but Dulwich win by 4 runs as Beddington just come up short.

It is a total dustbowl at Beddington as the U19s play Dulwich. Finely poised at 147-8 with 5 overs to play chasing 180 to win.

And another cracking match in the Hundred. Didn't give the Southern Brave a prayer at the half way mark but absolutely superb in the field.

I think we might be about to get some rain in South London.

Watching the Commonwealth Games highlights. Well done everyone involved in coining Tall Blacks as the nickname for the NZ basketball team.

The BBC have lucked out with broadcasting the Trent Rockets and London Spirit Hundred match this afternoon which was an absolutely brilliant game of cricket.

ICYMI a long read on how digital is missing from Burnham's vision for how to govern. I would be very comfortable if his first flip flop came by revisiting the decision to send digital to the margins. It's a bad call and it seems to be the consensus view among people who know about this stuff.

I do think there is something untapped and interesting in how this government originally wanted to reimagine DWP as "the HR department of the growth mission"

Could DWP be the key to unlocking the growth mission? - bmwelby's blogOne of the first headlines I saw after Friday’s reshuffle came with a familiar and unsurprising tone. Starmer signals plan to slash benefits with tough new welfare chief. It’s probably pretty accurate...bm.wel.by

By popular* demand I have added my many words to all the other bits and pieces reflecting on the end of DSIT. *@semanthicc.bsky.social and one other said they were waiting to hear my take.

GDS, AI and the missing theory of the digital stateTwo years after digital, data and AI were brought together, the settlement is being dismantled. What does that tell us about the state Britain is trying to build?bm.wel.by

Over the weekend I published some thoughts after @mind.org.uk's launch event for its Mental Health in the Age of AI Commission.

A couple of weeks ago I was at a @mind.org.uk event on #AI and mental health. It's not a question of whether people should use AI for support...because they already are. So how do we respond when “better than nothing” is good enough, but nothing isn't neutral either? Some thoughts 👇

One of my favourite sights of this World Cup has been players praying together. They represent different flags, but they're loyal to the same King.

Nah, can't watch for them standing on a celebratory podium for coming third. Medals OK but the podium just does not make any sense at all.

Tuchel failing to realise Saka had scored a hat trick is weird.

I had not appreciated that when Just Fontaine scored his 13 goals in a single tourament that it was only to end up finishing third.

Absolutely ridiculous

Love that for Saka

Second half hydration break and a single goal advantage. What will Tuchel do today?
