I watched the BBC report on this yesterday. The headline was nowhere near what the report was saying. Culture war clickbait
A fascinating editorial decision from the BBC, to make the headline a scaremongering “AUTISM AND ADHD ARE BEING OVERDIAGNOSED”, and then, four bullet points later, have the author of the report quoted as essentially saying “nah, that’s bullshit, actually”.

While you’re at it Don, can you also change New York, New England, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New London, New Brighton, New Boston and New Windsor to New America too?
President Trump appeared to suggest that New Mexico should be renamed “New America,” prompting backlash from the state’s Democratic leaders over his latest effort to alter geographic names. Trump has no legal authority to rename any state, which in New Mexico’s case is written into its Constitution.

Over the last nine months, Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta has run dozens of paid ads that include explicit AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and images of minors alongside sexually suggestive statements, according to details of the ads shared with WIRED.

Only the U.S could make a game like football (soccer) expensive!
From @theathleticfc.bsky.social: Developing into a top soccer player requires some degree of privilege in the U.S., as it is expensive. But the primary reason that the U.S. doesn’t produce world-class men’s soccer players boils down to one word: culture.

The treatment of this woman is absolutely outrageous and one of the most egregious corporate violations of free speech I've seen. I have just bought the book as a fuck you to Facebook. It's available here uk.bookshop.org/p/books/care...
“They’ve silenced her. “This is an attempt to punish someone who spoke the truth.” The "bizarre" moment @maitlis.bsky.social is forced to ask Facebook whistleblower Sarah Wynn-Williams to leave the studio.
So the BBC has removed ‘in Merseyside’ from this headline on their homepage this morning. I guess Merseyside just ain’t sexy enough? Put people off? Or just that Borough could refer to anywhere, so more chance more people will click? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

JD Vance drew a broad backlash this week after he said that he hoped that his wife, Usha Vance, who is of Indian heritage and was raised in a Hindu family, would eventually convert to his own Catholic faith.
Quite hilarious that @radio4rne.bsky.social Chris Mason refers to noisy Reform MOs talking about immigration all summer. They wouldn’t be noisy without the BBC and other media providing a constant megaphone for them.
