Resignations coming soon of course
A national newspaper journalist went on a British TV channel to claim police stats showed asylum-seekers committed 44% of sex crimes in Dorset.

This shocking claim was treated as fact by the channel which promoted the clip on social media where it was amplified by AI.

Except... it's bollocks.

Is social media to blame for teens’ mental health decline?

Intuition says yes—but RCTs find only small short-term effects when users quit.

This new preprint argues these studies don’t prove social media isn’t to blame.

Here’s why: 3 reasons.

The UK’s Labour government is the latest to pour billions in subsidies into a power plant that generates a major share of the country’s electricity — a vital role since Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine upended global energy markets. 

Yet its critics are only getting louder.
Inside the UK’s most controversial power plant

"Hope is alive
Hope is a decision
(...)
And while we cast our ballots alone
we choose hope together.
Hope over tyranny
Hope over big money and small ideas
Hope over despair
We won because newyorkers allowed themselves to hope that the impossible could be made possible"
