Would just like to point out that Anna Waehre, the researcher here mentioned as guilty of grievous research ethics violations targeting trans minors was a panelist in a SEGM conference last year with a large number of other abuse apologists.
Vi har avdekket at forskerne fikk avslag på fritak fra taushetsplikten og fra å innhente samtykke til forskning fra pasientene - tre ganger.
De gjennomførte forskningsprosjektet likevel.

Forskere felt for ulovlig forskning på transpersoner
– nå er de klaget inn igjen
Forskerne som er felt for ulovlig forskning på transpersoner, har også tidligere villet forske på den samme gruppen.

A brilliant example of what Lewis Goodall talks about when he argues why right-wing radicals keep winning. They don't play by the rules and simply don't care. Whereas the institutions they want to destroy do even when said rules are contorted to absurdity and are blatantly being used against them.
The founder of Newsmax was just on the Today programme pontificating about bias. Boy, the BBC loves to submit itself to flagellation.

Was having a conversation recently about these people and how they have to believe they are right. They truly believe history will laud. They couldn't do what they do if they believed anything else.
I came across a clip from yesterday from LBC of John Sopel and Emily Maitlis talking to Shelagh Fogarty about what's happening at the BBC and they all conceded the complainant DID have a point about the BBC's pro-trans bias and it was just three people being transphobic for a couple of minutes.

What's fascinating here is that as she rhymes off the list of gender critical people at Newsnight pursuing an explicitly gender critical agenda, in the context of a discussion of ideological capture at the BBC, she doesn't recognise that she was part of the ideological capture of the BBC by GCs.

The thing I find interesting about AI, specifically the many useful things people hope AI will do, is that quite a lot of them are things that were quite easy to achieve in the late 90s, early 2000s before computers began to flip the relationship between taking instructions and making suggestions.

I haven't updated on this btw, but I regret to inform you that's because I kept reading it and I don't think it's a good book at all, and I'm genuinely surprised people I respect on the left keep suggesting it is, or that it's earth shattering.
I completely forgot I ordered this… I suspect most of the interesting / serious revelations have dropped already and there’ll only be gossip left, but there’s only one way to find out.

This, sent behind a block, is also funny.
Will writes a post about a public figure for his audience of two thousand people. When he's corrected, he deletes the post but specifically doesn't acknowledge fault.
The person who says he could have checked is being a prick about it.

The Reform Party’s newest MP, Sarah Pochin, has admitted her comments were “phrased poorly”. Let’s call them what they were: racist.
This half-baked apology is not enough. The Reform Party must suspend Pochin immediately to show that racism has no place in politics.

Even if we want to blame all of this on Farage - and it’s very clear that lots of personally culpable people do want to blame it on Farage - he is a pure media creation, a man who owes everything he has to the indulgence and promotion of maybe six or seven media outlets.

Explaining to someone once that I didn't go to my own graduation because I couldn't afford to rent the cap and gown, and they knew exactly how I felt because they'd been in Aspen during theirs.
The only similar thing I experience is people who tell me they have "a little bit" of adhd.

A thing that happens constantly is that to assuage their discomfort they will try and reassure me they too had struggles. Real examples:
“My parents chose to sacrifice holidays abroad to afford our school fees”
“I understand, I wanted to do a masters in economics but couldn’t afford to”

My experience of working in various fields is that people are perfectly happy to do “diversity and inclusion” which involves minorities but really struggle to get to grips with how being poor affects things. Acknowledging the existence of poverty seems to make most middle class people uncomfortable.

I never quite find leaks like this plausible. While it's certainly true that Starmer's leadership has gone very, very badly, I don't think within Labour there's really that same "we can only go up from here" conviction that haunted the Tories ever since Cameron resigned.

🤫 A party source said there are some MPs who "think moving against Keir after the Budget is feasible rather than waiting until after May"

I've now played all three of the Jurassic World Evolution games, because I love park builders, and it's remarkable how consistently mediocre they are for exactly the same reason.
So much effort has gone into the dinosaur simulation, and so little into the park / guest mechanics.

It cannot be overstated how much sexist men lie to themselves about their “ownership” of popular culture.
Women saved Star Trek, women put together the first Star Trek con, women put together the zines and wrote the fanfic (and decided Kirk & Spock should be together and that ship was called Kirk/Spock and "slash" is literally a thing because of that slash). I could go on—
