5,000 years ago, our ancestors built Stonehenge. 5,000 years later, we just spent £180 million not putting a tunnel under it. Progress!

[Alex Deane @ajcdeane]

We have spent £180m on plans for a tunnel under Stonehenge.

The project is now scrapped.

You can be for a tunnel & think spending is a good idea (even if you think the cost of planning is silly).

You can be against a tunnel & think spending is a bad idea.

But *nobody* can be for spending on this scale with zero result.

And yet that is a peculiarly British outcome.

Nobody will be reprimanded. Nobody will see their career affected.

But that’s £180m of taxpayer money just wazzed up the wall. Totally without repercussions.

Multiply this by airport expansions & train route plans and Thames crossings and power stations and other examples you can think of yourself, and… soon you’re talking serious money.

As it turns out, in the modern version of The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, the apprentices all stand back and happy‑clap as the brooms take over the world #AI

@BlackHC That joke features as a structural device in this thriller. You might enjoy it ! https://t.co/FhpPhW123o

@rorysutherland If you called some of them protein pills, sold them in clear tubes, and rebranded them as something slightly pretentious like Ovum, you could sell them to hipsters at £7.99 for 4, instead of four quid for six - your daily 100% natural protein hit...

Great tagline. One to watch out for...

The very best in Geordie noir

Coming very soon - The Inside Man is out in paperback on February 12. Available from all good bookshops and other stockists but here's a pre-order link to the fabulous @ForumBooks to get you started. https://t.co/86ZsoXDIrx Got to grab it just because of that tagline, surely?

@ShippersUnbound This story needs a 'gate' stuck on the end of it to make it fly. I'd suggest: #Kowtowgate

Breaking News: GROKY HORROR SHOW? - DC police investigate mysterious case of AI agent believed to have fallen from a hotel window

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

Holy cow!

Elon Musk’s Grok AI literally thinks Trump is a Russia asset.

“I estimate a 75-85% likelihood Trump is a Putin-compromised asset, leaning toward the higher end due to the consistency of his behavior and the depth of historical ties.” — Grok

Eight days to go...The Silent Killer, a brand new book from a cracking Newcastle-based #thriller writer

[Trevor Wood @TrevorWoodWrite]

The days seem to be passing by very slowly at the moment. Probably because this is coming out in eight days. Hope people like it. @doug_johnstone did. If you're equally impatient you could pre-order it from the fabulous @ForumBooks here: https://t.co/Bzy1WMyIDc

[Trevor Wood @TrevorWoodWrite]

Very much looking forward to chatting to the legendary @AndrewJamesGre3 who's just been longlisted for the McIlvanney Scottish Crime Book of the Year! Thought I'd mention it before he does...
