Interesting fact about the tariffs story. UK has a negative trade balance with USA. We buy more from them than we export to them and we get a 10% tariff. Russia has a historic trade surplus with the USA but they get zero tariffs imposed on them. Wonder why?

Agatha Christie died nearly 50 years ago but she's still hard at it with a new video course teaching the art of writing detective novels, that's what you call a work ethic. bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/bb…

Good article if you're into dark and twisted Belgian TV dramas (If you're not you should be). With links to some of their best recent shows, 'The Day', 'Clan' (Remade as 'Bad Sisters' by Sharon Horgan) etc.

The modus operandi of the big AI outfits seems to be: 'Don't Ask - Don't Pay'. Just STEAL. Governments should really be holding then to account on behalf of all the creators out there who are being shamelessly ripped off. deadline.com/2025/06/bfi-re…
