One of the reasons why I go so hard on science misinformation/disinformation, is that as a working scientist it is frustrating to see your research misreported to push an agenda.

For example, consider this piece of right-wing propaganda from The Telegraph that was just published

This is ridiculous. There clearly has not been a 660% increase in terrorism
in the UK over the past year.

How much is it costing the criminal justice system to arrest and prosecute all these people for the crime of wearing a t-shirt or holding a placard?

Terrorism arrests soar by 660% after Palestine Action ban
Official figures show 1,630, or 86%, of the 1,886 arrests for terrorism-related activity in the year to the end of September 2025 were linked to supporting the group.

A trainer at the gym told me that one of his clients in tech (very Seattle story) was frantically asking him what AI might be good for at the gym. Real “We have to make this thing happen, what is it for???” vibes.

Just so we're clear, one incident of alleged anti-semitism by a musician = a major national scandal that should be roundly condemned.

Multiple incidents of alleged anti-semitism from the man leading the race to run the country = a load of nothing that should be completely ignored

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

These people are insane. I honestly think national associations should boycott, pull their teams from the tournament, until FIFA is fixed. Which sounds unthinkable, right? But.. why would we expect any fan to line these bastards' pockets.

Go on. It’s the biggest geopolitical pivot of the past 100+ years. It’s an existential moment of crisis for a set of political values that we hold to be the foundation of decent society. Would it kill you to show that you have noticed; to say, I dunno, *something*?
