Our new drama-doc Jack the Ripper: Written in Blood drops on @HISTORYUK and @NOW this evening. An original take on the Ripper story that is as much about the tabloid press as it is about the murders themselves. Congrats to everyone involved! #WrittenInBlood #jacktheripper

For two hundred thousand years, intelligence has been the rarest resource on earth. Locked inside individual human minds. Non‑scalable. Scarce. Every advance in civilization — every leap in science, art, industry, and statecraft — flowed from that scarcity. Artificial intelligence breaks that pattern. It makes intelligence abundant. It makes it cheap. It makes it scale. This is not just another wave of automation or software. It is the industrialization of intelligence itself. When intelligence becomes a utility, it stops being a tool that sits on top of society and starts becoming the foundation of society. It is a transformation as profound as the harnessing of electricity — but on a higher plane. Electricity powered machines. Industrial intelligence powers knowledge. And knowledge shapes everything. This shift will reorder the very structures that underpin nations. The two pillars that define sovereignty — economic strength and security — are being rebuilt on a substrate of machine intelligence. Nations that master this new utility will not simply gain efficiency. They will redefine what prosperity, power, and freedom mean in the 21st century. For me, this is the central story of our time. It is not about the latest app. It is not about hype cycles. It is about the first time in history that intelligence itself — the raw material of progress — has become infinite and industrial. The question is not whether it will transform society. It already is. The question is who will shape that transformation.

@Tapi_Carpets @MartinSLewis Another photo of the imperfect screed that is more akin to a mountain range than a glacial lake. We asked to speak to the Tapi area manager today but were told he was unable to make time for us.

Shocking service from @Tapi_Carpets The flooring delivered was wrong, and the finished screed was a joke - see photos below. A year on and Tapi refuse to cover all costs of laying the floor properly. @MartinSLewis where do we go from here? (More evidence in thread)

@Tapi_Carpets @MartinSLewis The screed should look like a mill pond that you can see your face in. Hmmm... this one not so much.

Tom Walker’s performance at #VEDay80 was transcendent.

@RpsAgainstTrump I’d be interested to know how he is defining a ‘movie’. My hunch is TV content could be swept up in this too. Could hinder American corps like Disney from commissioning projects from non-US based production companies.

Trump on his decision to impose 100% tariffs on all movies produced outside the US: “Other nations have been stealing the movies…So that is a threat to our country in a sense.”🤡

How did the headlines of the day describe Jack the Ripper? 📰 Historians @FernRiddell and @DigiVictorian look over the papers of 1888 for insights into the time. 🟡 Jack The Ripper: #WrittenInBlood available 8 April

Jack the Ripper became headline news in 1888 but did the press invent a killer for their own gain? 📰 🩸 Even if it kept that brutal murderer on the loose... This is Jack The Ripper: #WrittenInBlood. 🟡 Available 8 April

@OlissaRogers @Nutopia_tv @WestbrookInc @DaytimeEmmys @netflix @SheppsCast Amazing Olissa! And very well deserved! 🎉

@MichaelWarbur17 What a pickup truck!

@JolyonMaugham I listened on Radio4 this morning Jo. Was absurd. Had to turn it off.

Remembering the inimitable Robbie Robertson, one of the all time greats. His songs, with The Band, have had a profound and lasting impression on me. Here he is performing Acadian Driftwood during The Last Waltz concert in 1976 youtu.be/cSZv3cOI4kI #RIPRobbieRobertson

@MichaelWarbur17 I feel exhausted and very tense after watching that. Pure cinema. I remember watching the film in Bournemouth when it first came out. At the end, nobody moved. Just sat that. Drained. No words. Seminal. A masterpiece.

@forbesmasson @simonannand @Pmarber @MenChocFactory @OpenAirTheatre @tomscuttdesign Love it! #bolshevikchic

Thanks to wonderful @simonannand for this gorgeous double portrait of me as Lenin in @Pmarber Travesties by Tom Stoppard designed by Tim Hatley @MenChocFactory and me as Mr Mushnik in Maria Aberg’s production of Little Shop of Horrors @OpenAirTheatre designed by @tomscuttdesign

Another i/v with Governor of BoE with no mention of the negative impact of Brexit and the 4% drop in GDP (OBR’s figure). Also no question as to why he thinks inflation will fall later this year. Without such questions the interview is just not credible, just bluster. #R4Today

@nickfloats @LumaLabsAI @midjourney @runwayml I like it. It’s not too dissimilar to many artsy perfume and aftershave commercials! 😁

This video was made entirely by AI I used @LumaLabsAI to NeRF my coffee table & turn it into a virtual movie set, @midjourney to create reference images for my video clips, & @runwayml Gen-1 to apply the style of the images to those clips Full workflow on Youtube (link in bio)

@hoyer_kat @sauldavid66 @Telegraph Congratulations Katja! Very much looking forward to reading it!

BEYOND THE WALL: EAST GERMANY, 1949-1990 is "exhaustively researched, cleverly constructed and beautifully written," says @sauldavid66 in @Telegraph ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I couldn't have wished for a better first review! 😁🤩 telegraph.co.uk/books/what-to-…

@TwitMasterBird @GrahamHann @edwinhayward @Pascal65559661 I’m not sure where you’re getting your intel from - are you a BBC insider? I will take you at face value, but I’m still not sure what the BBC not renewing Clarkson’s contract in 2015 has to do with Gary Lineker 8 years later?

@TomStubberfield @GrahamHann @edwinhayward @Pascal65559661 Yup they were searching for years for a reason to fire him. Finally when he was not feeling well after treatment for a serious illness, he lost self control for a moment and there was a party in BBC HQ celebrating his upcoming firing.

The BBC can't afford to push the Gary Lineker domino for a number of reasons... 1) We know about BBC Chairman Richard Sharp's facilitation of an £800,000 loan to Boris Johnson. 2) They failed to rein in Laura Kuenssberg and Fiona Bruce's biases. 3) It really would be a domino.

@TwitMasterBird @GrahamHann @edwinhayward @Pascal65559661 “Desperately searching for a reason” to sack Clarkson? I’m not sure they had to search too hard (he punched a colleague). 👀

@TomStubberfield @GrahamHann @edwinhayward @Pascal65559661 Woke BBC was desperately searching for a reason.
