It's difficult to remember and capture the context of the time period when something released which means people think that Portal 2's humour is born from Reddit, as opposed to reddits humour being born from portal 2

Cressida Dick working for Palantir raises the same concerns I’ve expressed about Tom Watson.
What does a company gain when it recruits a former Labour deputy leader or a former Metropolitan Police commissioner? Their experience, yes. But also their contacts, influence and the authority associated with the offices they held.
This ‘revolving door’ corrodes confidence in politics, public service generally and in institutions such as the police.

I trust Emery and I'm sure he will be great - perhaps with a little encouragement from the fans!
New: George Hemmings has reached an agreement in principle to sign a new five-year contract with #AVFC. Announcement expected in international break and reflective of 20yo's improved standing in Unai Emery's squad. With Victor Lindelof confirmed, Villa aim to finalise and confirm several contracts, including Hemmings and Emery's. Story @TheAthleticFC

That's a bad example because English actually changed Peking to Beijing and Nanking to Nanjing to align with modern spelling of the cities on China's request. If China requested to be called Zhongguo in English, it would be replaced too

I suspect a defection from Reform to Restore by Senedd Member Joe Martin will be coming soon.
Mr Martin gave a speech about "white people" being "replaced".
The Llywydd (speaker) said that his language "detracted from the dignity of the Senedd" and said he wouldn't be called to speak again until he apologised.
Almost as though it was choreographed, Restore leader Rupert Lowe offered Martin his "full backing" and criticised Reform.
Mr Martin has been making kissy faces at Restore for a while.
The leader of Reform in the Senedd Helen Jenner has tried to keep him in the tent by giving him the...err... "prestigious" position of "shadow minister without portfolio".
Reform sources within that group tell me the party are deeply concerned at Restore eating into their vote and potential defections.
I strongly suspect that the only reason that Mr Martin hasn't defected is because he wants four other MSs to come with him. That way they would be able to form an official group in the Senedd which give them substantial resources and Mr Martin (if he was leader) a big bump in salary.
Full analysis in my pinned tweet.
