Our lives are full of accusations of hypocrisy, yet little seems to change. Join "The Hypocrisy Trap" author @mhallsworth.bsky.social at @lsepbs.bsky.social on Wednesday, Nov. 19th, where he will discuss tools for moving from outrage to outcomes with Professor @liamdelaney2025.bsky.social:
The Hypocrisy Trap with Dr Michael Hallsworth
Dr Hallsworth will explore how the "hypocrisy trap" — our relentless drive to expose inconsistency — either breeds more hypocrisy or exhausts our belief in shared standards altogether.

What's lost when we lose staff, departments, programmes and faculties in Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, and what's that got to do with organ donation?

Amid the looming losses faced by Cardiff, Edinburgh, Lancaster, Leicester and Nottingham (among many others), here's a worked example. 1/8

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.

Our entire political conversation - under a labour government - has taken a huge shift to the right.

We can't let this be normalised.

Loughborough CA Day started out wa::y back in 2007 as a local, friendly get-together of like-minded interaction analysts.

It's now a global, friendly get-together of like-minded interaction analysts.

People fly or dial in from all over the world.

Still great fun.

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

Wes Streeting talking about "the racism of the 1970s and 1980s" is a useful cue to consider
- what changed to strengthen antiracism norms from the 1990s?
- why & how is that being challenged now?
- what practically is needed to change + reverse that?

If someone had told me a year ago, that this could happen in the UK I wouldn't have believed it.

Now it's all happening very fast. Even if you consider Cummings as the 'career psychopath' he always was, this is a dangerous new level.
Dominic Cummings has this racialised take on David Lammy

There is an increasingly prevalent kneejerk online rightwing trait to call the presence of any black or Asian person a diversity hire

I'm recently noticing a pattern emerging in how my research on young fathers gets received and whether or not it is deemed to ‘count’ and have impact.

This reveals something fundamental about what we've come to accept as evidence in that quantitative data are still being considered the most useful form of evidence that counts; that scale cross nationally is still prioritised over scale temporally.

More useful material for the @royalsociety.org’s bio of their esteemed fellow. Though I’m still struggling to understand how a society that claims to value scientific rigour continues to honour someone who spreads so much disinformation.
Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.
