A reminder to journalists covering the Pavel Durov arrest: Telegram is NOT an "encrypted messenger". WhatsApp messages and groups are fully encrypted. Facebook and Instagram DMs are encrypted by default. Telegram messages are not usually encrypted and groups can't be at all.

Don't know how much it was a factor today but there is an issue that nothing real is happening in politics. There is barely any legislation going through the Commons; no policies being announced; everyone has to say stuff they know isn't true because of the election.
I don’t think we use the term “race” these days. But hard to find a useful replacement. “AI ethnicity” just doesn’t sound right.

Speaking of the Carters, remember this Hall of Fame photo with the Bidens where they looked like Hobbits?
