Polling basics is you don’t let your cohort self select like this. More appalling bullshit journalism laundering government bullshit form the BBC
Interesting thing to take away here.

BBC asked 5000 doctors to take part in a survey about overdiagnosis of mental health conditions. Only 15% of them responded.

And what do you think the belief will be of that 15% who specifically wanted to respond to a study into overdiagnosis? 🤔

it might seem surprising that the people who said “look, let trans people live their lives, but i have Reasonable Concerns about sports and toilets” aren’t up in arms about this, but what you have to remember is that those people who said that are liars who were lying

there is no natural golden ratio of abled to disabled ppl, and no upper cap on what percentage of population can be disabled. if you sicken and injure enough ppl, and destroy accessibility of public life in a hostile and unsupported society so a wider and wider range are excluded, the skys the limit

2.5 million people with HIV have lost access to life-saving treatment as a result of Trump’s cuts to the global HIV programme.
It’s estimated that this has already resulted in an additional 100,000 AIDS deaths this year.

Gingerly eating a bag of Hula Hoops and noticed the “no msg ✔️” on the packet. So I just went and added some MSG and shook the bag and they taste infinitely better. I recommend this to all foods that brag they’re MSG free

The UFW has sued the Trump Administration ... again. Why? Because they are trying to steal wages from farm workers and we are not going to let that happen. #WeFeedYou

Wild that articles like this are still being written without mentioning "climate" or "environment" one single time.

I guess when you're rich you can't comprehend people having no money, much feminism from Maya as usual. They are willing to see organisations that actually help people shut down if they don't follow their weird little ideology, but yeah, she's a "women's rights campaigner"

I remember this Wall Street Journal graphic claiming that CEOs work 55 hour weeks, and maybe only 6 hours of it outside of meetings would be unambiguously considered work if they were in an entry level position.

Fun fact I couldn't mention until now: At the time Graham Linehan was harassing Sophia Brooks online, I was contacted by her former teachers and School Safeguarding Team to get her latest contact details, as they were worried sick about her being publicly stalked by an abusive alcoholic celebrity.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

In Tesco’s this afternoon: an elderly Polish man at the self-checkout, trying to buy a pint of milk and a white radish. There is no picture for the radish on the machine. The assistant doesn’t know what it is. She asks a colleague: “It’s a white radish.” There is no entry for it on the machine.

“How many refugees have been granted asylum in the UK?”

Most people overestimate the number - by a lot. With far-right figures spreading misinformation, it’s hard for the public to know the truth.

Watch the video to see just how wide the gap is between perception and reality.
