On the far side of revenge.
Believe that farther shore
Is reachable from here."

@malonebarry Foolish to be caught on camera doing that - one of those likely to come back with bite. The Japanese use 'decorum' cleverly in diplomatic negotiations. Signaling that it's no longer so important neutralizes that advantage.

@RaymondSnoddy Also wondering if it reflects Paramount looking for 'easier' one-off cuts after having overpaid for WBD.

Is this more about CBS wanting to avoid upsetting Trump with inconvenient facts than "economic realities" - round the world radio is doing very well
Jonathan Carlson@TVreporter
Oh my gosh. @CBSNewsRadio is being shuttered and all CBS News Radio anchors are being let go. I spent the last few years as a local CBS radio affiliate anchor, and tossed to these amazing journalists, so many of whom I admired. This is devastating.

Very confused messaging on AI and copyright from the U.S. administration today.
Kratsios says Congress should allow AI to train on copyrighted materials. But the National AI Policy Framework he is announcing says something different - it says Congress should let the question play out in the courts.
What's more, in the Framework, the Administration says it *believes* training on copyrighted work is legal. But this conflicts with the advice of the US Copyright Office, whose role is to advise Congress on copyright issues. So on what is it basing this belief?
All of this sounds exactly like what you’d expect to happen when the Administration’s closest advisors on the topic are tech VCs.
If Congress *did* take Kratsios’ advice and attempt to legalise training on copyrighted work, other countries should take the issue to the WTO, as it would contravene international copyright agreements.
Director Michael Kratsios@mkratsios47
Here are the most pressing topics in AI policy the National Framework addresses: 1. Protecting Children and Empowering Parents: Many Americans are concerned about children interacting with AI. Congress should require age-assurance tools and ensure AI platforms give parents account controls and device limits, while platforms should implement strong features protecting against sexual exploitation of children and encouragement of self-harm. 2. Safeguarding and Strengthening American Communities: Congress should codify @POTUS’s Ratepayer Protection Pledge to ensure energy costs from data centers are not passed along to Americans. Congress should also strengthen law enforcement tools to fight AI-enabled scams against seniors. 3. Respecting Intellectual Property Rights and Supporting Creators: American creators’ works and identities must be protected, yet AI must be able to learn from the world it inhabits. Congress should support a balanced approach that allows for advanced AI training on copyrighted materials while strengthening creators’ ability to negotiate with AI providers and fight unauthorized AI replicas. 4. Preventing Censorship and Protecting Free Speech: The Federal government must defend free speech and be prevented from using AI systems to silence or censor lawful expression. 5. Enabling Innovation and Ensuring American AI Dominance: America is leading the world in AI development and deployment. Congress should strengthen our dominance with regulatory sandboxes, make more AI-ready federal datasets available, and look for additional ways to reduce regulatory barriers to innovation. 6. Educating Americans and Developing an AI-Ready Workforce: The Administration wants American workers to participate in and reap the rewards of a new AI-powered economy. Congress should expand and strengthen workforce training programs and AI-related apprenticeships.

My best friend is Muslim, and she has been fasting. I’m not a Muslim, and I don’t. We joke about it. She’s going to a white CoE funeral, and calls me to ask what the norms are and what to wear and say. This summer, I’ll be going to a family wedding with her and asking the same.
Because that’s integration.
That’s how you build a society that works.
We don’t all have to be the same.
We just need to have policies that allow for proper mixing and insight.

We are saddened to hear of the passing of Philip Castle.
Few collaborations in cinema are as visually iconic as Philip Castle and Stanley Kubrick.
Castle’s airbrush artistry gave unforgettable shape to Kubrick’s vision - the iconic poster of #AClockworkOrange and the haunting imagery of #FullMetalJacket remain engrained in cinematic art.
Philip Castle: 20th October 1942 - 20th February 2026

It was a long, harsh winter in D.C. We can finally call it over.
After a long and often harsh season — punctuated by persistent cold, stubborn snow and ice, and a late-season chill this week — the pattern ahead has shifted. Milder air is taking hold, and there are no meaningful signs of a return to sustained cold or accumulating snow.
That means we can officially declare the winter of 2025-2026 behind us.
We’ve made it a tradition to mark the onset of spring once the threat of prolonged cold and lasting snow has passed. The forecast now clearly favors warmer days, budding trees and a steady march toward spring — even if a few bumps remain along the way.
The forecast ahead is promising for flowers — and for fans of warmer weather.
Highs surge into the 60s on Friday and reach the 70s by Sunday. But a warning: Springlike weather doesn’t mean sustained warmth.
Next week, for example, daily highs bounce between the low 50s and mid-60s — a reminder that spring is a season of swings.
Still, there is little sign of any return to sustained wintry weather.

Remembering Patrick McGoohan, BOTD in 1928 in Astoria, Queens, NYC. Actor, director, writer. Unpredictable, creative, self-willed, demanding, anarchic. More than anything else, perhaps, a unique force of nature. Six of my favourite on-screen Pat performances... 1/7

Fantastic news in the UK today - the government has apparently ditched its plan to force creatives to 'opt out' if they don't want AI companies training on their life's work.
The opt-out proposal was unfair and unworkable. Many couldn't realistically have opted out at all, and it would have affected small rights holders disproportionately negatively.
We should be grateful to the government for listening to reason on this, rather than just listening to the big tech lobby. They have done the right thing by putting opt-out behind us.
They should now reaffirm what the law says - that AI companies must license people's work if they want to train on it - and commit not to change that law.

@EssexPR I've been to war in the Middle East, and I brought home mates in boxes with flags on them, the same flags you so desperately love to shag.
Lives lost, billions spent, and we won nothing of worth to the UK.
You want a war?
You go and fucking fight it.

Some personal news: This is my last week at The Washington Post.
I’ve loved so much of the last 9 years here, but my faith in the paper’s current leadership is broken beyond repair.
Incredibly excited to get to work with the newsroom below (I start in June) & join the extraordinarily talented kickass reporters such as @anna_c_kramer, @OrianaBeLike, @reesejgorman & many more
Please get in touch w/ me anytime on Signal: 9178872891

I am leaving the Washington Post to join a new journalistic venture backed by Politico founder Robert Allbritton that will be both the hometown publication the D.C. region sorely needs and a scrappy and fearless national news organization. I hope you'll join us.

Today I have cleaned-up a fascinating Autochrome of the 6th Paris Air Show, photographed on 22nd December 1919 within the Parisian Grand Palais. It was photographed in colour by Georges Chevalier 107 years ago and isn't colourised.

My angelic, autistic 12 year old daughter Annika drew this pencil and asked me to share it with you. She gets giddy when her content does better than mine, which makes me happy.
Please share it far and wide to keep her fire for art going. We've just barely gotten it rekindled.
Mark Wright@markeology
I showed Ani the encouraging comments you've been leaving about her art and she surprised me last night by drawing this flower. I nearly cried with joy. You reignited that spark in her. I love each and every one of you for giving her this boost. Can't thank you enough.
