On last Sunday's BBC politics show, presenter Laura Kuenssberg spoke to the energy secretary, Grant Shapps.On this occasion Shapps manifested as himself, rather than as one of the many false identities he used to inhabit when promoting his internet business.I always find Shapps's appearances as himself uncomfortable, a bit like when Mike Yarwood used to say and this is me! at the end of his impressionist shows and then sing an old jazz standard in a weird American accent while squinting and waving his hands.

Last week, golf's premier circuit, the PGA Tour, announced it was partnering with its rival circuit LIV Golf, an upstart league backed by Saudi Arabia, giving the country a powerful new seat at the table of international sports.Alan Blinder, who covers golf for The New York Times, explains what was behind the deal and what it means for the business of sports.

For communicators of all kinds, there's nothing more laborious than handling transcripts.There was a time when, as a journalist, I had to phone stories in for someone in the office to type them up.Technology has evolved since then, and we can now write for print, web and video on phones, tablets or laptops wherever we are working, but transcription still slows down the process of telling stories.

Los Angeles County supervisors met privately Tuesday to discuss demands by The Times that they turn over transcripts of two recent meetings following alleged violations of one of California's bedrock open-government laws.The discussion, held as part of Tuesday's closed-session board meeting, came after a lawyer representing The Times sent the supervisors a letter accusing them of twice violating the Brown Act, which aims to ensure the public can watch local government meetings.

Clocks existed long before smart watches and ticking timepieces.Our circadian rhythm, the internal clock driving most organisms - from bacteria to humans - is an ancient biological function that steers how our biology.As researchers learn more about the circadian rhythm, they find new ways that our bodies, and those of other organisms, are influenced by it.

Web content automatically generated by AI will be ranked according to its quality by Google Search, the internet titan confirmed this week, after previously suggesting it would blanket down-rank computer-created pages.Last year, Google Search Advocate John Mueller said using machine-learning tools to produce text is "essentially the same as just shuffling words around" to game Google's bots and artificially pump up a page's rank in search results.

CNN has obtained an internal affairs investigation report that the New Haven, Connecticut, police chief said led him to recommend the termination of the officers involved in a June 2022 incident that left Randy Cox, 36, paralyzed from the chest down in the back of a police van.Five officers with the New Haven Police Department were arrested and charged with second degree reckless endangerment in November 2022, CNN previously reported.

Former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff has provided a public accounting of his firm's work at the Supreme Court that began five years ago with security at justices' homes, for their travels and in courtroom operations, confirming CNN's exclusive reporting related to Chertoff's endorsement of the court's investigation of a leaked abortion decision.

Nearly a year after being sentenced to five months in jail, only to be released on bond days later, actor Jussie Smollett has filed his long-awaited appeal claiming his indictment by a special prosecutor was invalid due to double-jeopardy concerns and that the trial judge was biased against him.The 102-page brief filed Wednesday with the Illinois Appellate Court covered mostly familiar ground in the well-worn case against Smollett, the onetime "Empire" star who was convicted by a jury in December 2021 of paying two acquaintances to fake a racist and homophobic attack on him to get exposure and boost his career.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made international headlines when she wore a white gown scrawled with the words Tax the Rich to the star-studded Met Gala in New York in September 2021.But now, congressional investigators have found substantial reason to believe that she might have violated House ethics rules and perhaps federal law by accepting gifts associated with the event.

WASHINGTON In appearing before the Jan. 6 committee last year, Cassidy Hutchinson, the former White House aide who recounted President Donald J. Trump's conduct in the lead-up to the attacks on the Capitol, shared how her original lawyer had tried to influence her testimony.While represented by that lawyer, Stefan Passantino, Ms. Cassidy was less forthcoming to the committee.

The Ancona family was the last to leave Russell City, an unincorporated town outside of Hayward annexed to the city in 1968, after its 1,400 majority Black and Latinx residents were forced to leave the year earlier.But Lita Ancona didn't plan to let the city's bulldozers tear down her home.So, before she left, she burned it to the ground.

At least eight of the Republican fake electors in Georgia have accepted immunity deals in an ongoing criminal investigation into efforts by Donald Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election there, according to a new court filing.Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis had previously notified all 16 GOP fake electors in Georgia that they were targets in her investigation.

After a long weekend, a federal jury has returned Monday for a fourth day of deliberations in the "ComEd Four" trial of a group of executives and lobbyists who allegedly conspired to bribe then-House Speaker Michael Madigan to win his influence over the utility's legislative agenda in Springfield.

A federal jury deliberated for a third day Thursday without reaching a verdict in the "ComEd Four" trial alleging a group of executives and lobbyists conspired to bribe then-House Speaker Michael Madigan to win his influence over the utility's legislative agenda in Springfield.So far, the panel of seven women and five men has deliberated for about 15 hours over three days.

The other day, I noted that while I agree with Rayne that the January 6 Committee could use referrals to make important symbolic statements, the Committee's referral, in practice, was weaker than it should have been to make that symbolic impact.That made bmaz' earlier gripes about such a referral look more justified.

For something else entirely, I started writing what I thought was going to be a short summary of where the three major investigations into Trump stand.But those summaries ended up getting long, so I'm going to publish them serially, starting with Fani Willis' Georgia investigation.This post relies on the work of others following the investigation far more closely, especially Lawfare's Anna Bower and GPB's Stephen Fowler.

We all have our biases.Whether we like to admit it or not, our perspectives are colored by our beliefs, values, and experiences.But, that's okay.Bias in itself is not inherently bad.However, not recognizing our bias is where the problem lies.And in UX writing, such untamed bias can negatively impact user experiences and undermine the goals of the products we create.

A few days ago, Utah became the first state to pass a law prohibiting social media services from allowing users under 18 to have accounts without the explicit consent of a parent or guardian.The move, by Republican officials, is intended to address what they describe as a mental health crisis among American teenagers as well as to protect younger users from bullying and child sexual exploitation.

Lots of things were said by Dolphins general manager Chris Grier and coach Mike McDaniel this week at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis, but what was the meaning behind those words?Here's my thoughts about a few key topics (questions and answers taken from transcripts provided by the Dolphins).

In 2000, the F.D.A. approved the medication abortion drug mifepristone.Now a federal judge in Texas is set to rule on a case filed by anti-abortion groups urging the agency to revoke its approval of mifepristone and the other main drug used for medication abortion in the United States.Abortion via medication has become increasingly common and now accounts for more than half of the nation's abortions.

The Duke of Sussex has reportedly claimed his brother felt tremendous guilt for not speaking up about his father's affair with Camilla Parker Bowles, now the Queen Consort.In the Spanish translation of Harry's memoir, which was accidentally released early in Spain and obtained by journalists from the US publication Page Six, the duke reportedly writes that the now-Prince of Wales had long harboured suspicions about the Other Woman.
