The fact we hate the people who are attacking the BBC is not reason enough to defend it. Our enemies' enemy is not necessarily our friend.
Revealing division in my timeline between (1) my insider friends who have lived privileged lives who are very keen that we defend the BBC and think it's important it survives and (2) my outsider friends who feel (at best) ambivalent about the BBC's survival.

I'm actually glad that Emily Maitlis publicly admitted to working to take evidence based healthcare away from vulnerable children.

I hope when Britain becomes less warped and hysterical, she faces the legal and moral consequences she deserves for doing so.

I hope I'm wrong, but does anyone really think that it's going to be as simple as getting Adelina Grijalva's vote? Aren't more delays and excuses far more likely?

According to reps from the National Policing Federation and Keep Alberta RCMP, the answer is absolutely not!

4/ Singer owns the Manhattan Institute. It was originally a free-market libertarian group, but it has become almost a single-issue anti-trans hate group in recent years.

He gives Supreme Court justices book deals. He even own all the bookshops. Including Waterstones.

1/🧵 Much of the progress for LGBT+ rights in the 2010s came from powerful individuals and billionaires who had gay sons. They supported gay marriage largely to protect their inheritance.

As soon as it was achieved, the same so-called “allies” began funding anti-trans campaigns.

There is a lot of fuss today over whether chatbots can replace human participants in social sciences research when the solution is obvious: ask chatbots to simulate the views of social scientists and survey them on attitudes towards chatbots as substitutes for human subjects.

It was fine. I liked the beaver nuggets although they were not amazing as some people have suggested. I was not impressed with the sausage on a stick. The bathrooms lived up to the hype, however.

“I’ve been hearing that standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She also asked openly, ‘What’s the point of standards?’” one CBS source said.
