It has been a productive 2025! It's wonderful working with such amazing colleagues at @GoogleDeepMind and all across @Google to conduct new research and to put research into practice across many of Google's products!

Ruth Porat, president and Chief Investment Officer at Alphabet, and CFOs Colette Kress at Nvidia, Susan Li at Meta, and Amy Hood at Microsoft oversee more than $8 trillion in combined market value. Their decisions set the tempo of AI’s expansion, determining the speed, the direction, and the stability of the next decade of technology globally. #PowerWomen https://t.co/X5QcZ7sSzz

Laureen and I are shocked and heartbroken to learn of the sudden passing of Nigel Wright.

A unique and deeply accomplished person, Nigel combined intellectual acumen with incredible capacity for work. 

Nigel loved his country and believed in the value of public service, having twice served in the Office of the Prime Minister of Canada, including as my Chief of Staff.  He was also a man of faith who cared about his fellow citizens and generously supported a range of philanthropic causes throughout his life. 

Nigel was truly a special person whom we have lost far too soon.  Our condolences to his family and many friends, both in Canada and around the world.

#FairUseFriday Whether you call yourself an influencer, content creator, blogger, YouTuber, or just a regular internet user, all “creators” rely on fair use to make and share their content online! Creator Rick Beato uses fair use by snipping songs for his “What makes this song great?” videos: https://t.co/7PoxFZNavH

Didn't have this on my bingo sheet when I became an MP, but it's a milestone that proves how much political communications has changed in the last decade (in a good way). There are so many more ways to directly reach voters.

PSA: Political staffers commit a huge part of their daily lives to support their ministers, spending countless hours doing high-stakes work with 0 margin for error. A cabinet shuffle is thus a highly disruptive event for many. Please be empathetic to the staffers around you.

@kusmu @AdelGamar Congratulations Petros! 👊🏾

[Axios @axios]

If a woman leader is under 40, she's called "kiddo."

If she's between 40-60, she has too many family responsibilities.

If she's past 60, she's outdated.

Researchers have found that women leaders are criticized for their age — no matter how old they are. https://t.co/iXPpngRkyE
