Sixty years, tomorrow. They gave the man in charge a knighthood. They made the local community pay for the remembrance garden. No-one held to account. I always think of the dinner lady, Nansi, who shielded five kids with her body and died in the process but they all lived. #Aberfan

Producer: “Who can we get to represent the views of voters in struggling working class towns?” Researcher: “How about a London born privately educated banjo player who is the son of the billionaire who owns GB News?” Producer: “Perfect!”

The "red wall" is not a term you hear often these days

Now authors vs AI tech bros would be an excellent use of JK Rowling’s billionaire legal fund as opposed to, say, everything she’s using it for now.

Still trying to understand how Napster got shut down, but Anthropic is going public and still hasn’t paid us authors yet after stealing our work.

My heart breaks for mathematicians whose lives and careers are being destroyed by AI — and especially this PhD student, who doesn’t even know he is a poet

I’d feel such a crushing sadness if one of my elderly relatives was speaking like this, that it’s the President is just terrifying. The people around him are utterly complicit.

TRUMP: Did you see the story about my uncle? TIME: The one who taught at MIT? TRUMP: I have the highest of IQs. I have the highest.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Having real #MeToo flashbacks today, what with various news stories going around, and thinking a lot about how women were encouraged to rip themselves open and show off our trauma, in all its Technicolor glory, so that men might begin to believe us

Ratcliffe promised to build his Defender copy in S Wales, but patriotically preferred to build it in France. He patriotically migrated to Monaco so he doesn’t pay too much tax in the country that generated that wealth. But his views on what matters in the UK hit the headlines.

‘Danny Tommo’, leader of the balaclava-clad blackshirt rallies, says he will travel to Piddington “in the coming days” following the Parish Council’s stunt referendum: “I want to hear about safety concerns for their women and children.” Tommo was jailed for two years in 2016 for a knifepoint kidnap.

The snobbishness about this comes in part from the fact you can no longer pay all your bills doing a minimum wage job. If you work 35hrs a week you should be able to pay rent, pay utilities, buy food & have a little left over for a few beers on a Friday. This never used to be a controversial view.

Anon Opin@anonopin.bsky.social

There's absolutely nothing wrong with working a minimum wage retail job no matter your age. A job is a job. And this performative, ignorant gatekeeping by those saying it's not a "proper job" can get in the bin. Work is work.

My first morning in the Omaze house. I didn’t sleep. I could hear crying from behind the door I’m not allowed to open.The only thing to eat is frozen prawns. I went for a wander round the 4 acre garden and found a box of VHS tapes marked ‘For the next one’. I’m sure it’s fine. I’m sure it’s all fine

We have made a full documentary about what really happened at Reform conference. If you only watch a bit of it please make it these 39 seconds. You won't regret it.

Doctors say that measles can kill young children. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and drives around with dead bear cubs in his car says they'll be fine as long as they eat enough beef tallow. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

let's do UBI for her, she'd want us to

Ghostly Bree@mostlybree.kitrocha.com

Like the time fires raged through Gatlinburg and she just gave the families impacted $1k/month for 5 months and $5k the 6th month. no means testing, no complicated hoops, just "your life is destroyed here's some cash" resulting in another UBI experiment gone right. www.bpr.org/news/2018-12...

really does feel, as an ideology, like to them there is A Norm, and you can either obey The Norm and be exactly like everyone else, or you can be A Freak and not be meaningfully welcome in society, and everyone should be trying their hardest to fit The Norm a sad view of the world!

There seems to be a concerted effort right now to undermine the diagnosis/concept of ADHD and/or autism. It’s probably been going on for awhile, but I’ve really seen it take hold lately, and it’s really concerning. A lot of parallel to the undermining of gender identity and trans healthcare, too.

Farage looks like a man who tried to nonchalantly jump over a low wall to take a shortcut, caught his leg on it and almost fell over, then tried to style it out while also looking accusingly at the wall, before walking off, trying to hide a limp.

Naomi Tatchell reposted

The thing that bothers me most about Farage beating a bin is concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are at the highest level in around 14 million years, it hasn’t rained in months, and two of the parties that could form the next government insist this isn’t much of a problem.

Anti-vaxxers kill people dead & deserve shame & punishment. Also the President is in full REM sleep dreaming he’s in the 1987 Broadway production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Starlight Express.

Marjoram and oregano are close relatives but they have quite a different taste. Oregano is bold, pungent, and earthy, while marjoram is milder, sweeter, and much more floral.

Evangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...

Farage in The Telegraph: ‘If voters think I’m a crook, they can get rid of me.’ It’s not how the law works but, even so, I’m assuming if Farage is serious he’ll allow the voters of Clacton to look at all his finances, speak to all his donors, and put himself up for rigorous questioning?
