The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

New piece from me.

I guess it's thrilling to imagine oneself to be part of a mad chase to the creation of artificial life. But it's not just fun and games when that chase is being used to concentrate wealth & power and involves despoiling the physical & information ecosystems + massive labor exploitation.

#GenAI excels at processing text. But can it be relied on for #qualitative #research? Here's an #edDev #SOTL study analyzing #survey results exploring trust in the classroom which suggests being cautious about #AI use in research.

🚨 INVESTIGATION: Britain's maternity crisis has deeper roots, extending into the universities trusted to train the next generation of midwives. A majority are still promoting a normal birth ideology while women are more complex than ever:

Stop promoting natural birth ideology, midwife courses told

Despite a litany of scandals, universities are still pushing ‘normal birth’ over medical interventions. Now our investigation has prompted the regulator to act

Seen that video of a hundred-year-old veteran weeping over his lost country and being comforted by the 'D-Day Darlings' in a poppy-bedecked morning TV studio? Assailed by a profound sense of unease? Of distaste? Of dread, even? Allow me to make it worse: tribunemag.co.uk/2025/08/afte...

After Captain Tom

The cultural memory of the Second World War has long been used to serve the interests of British conservatism. But now that the long post-war compact is over, has its meaning evaporated completely?

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

James Watson, dead at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers

James Watson, the co-discoverer of the structure of DNA who died Thursday at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers.

Me too. Many years later, we played a show with The New Year, and I ended up getting to know Chris quite well. He even played a show in our back garden one summer. The things you wish you could tell your younger self!

youtu.be/_fCKIR_t8iM?... Another oddity on the 'two people doing bits' theme. Most of the Tarnation stuff is just Paula (and if you sang like Paula you'd tell everyone to get out of the way too) but this a duet and it's brilliant

My second time. I think they're really special. It is kind of incredible to me that they are able to reproduce - and mostly exceed - the controlled use of noise and texture when they play live. I hope you get a chance to see them!
