We can be happy that there may be only room for one paper with their shared editorial policy, but 'patriots' in their readership will surely be concerned about foreign influence

Fixed it for you. Idiots! If the exclusion is based on appearance then it will certainly impact cis folks as well as trans folks.

Screenshot without username because I'm trying to avoid arguing with strangers but this is such a reductive & dangerous view I can't not respond. Of course there's a distinction between desire & action, but it makes a difference if you have 'all kinds of fucked up shit in your head' about colleagues

Page nine repeats the statement with the figure but it's not clear what the question was, or even if it was a question rather than an analysis of focus group discussion. I mean, if you asked me 'how aware are you of the role of research at universities' I wouldn't choose 'fully aware'

I know we need to sort the BBC as the right attacks it, but they don't make it easy. Saw this headline, for 'what the papers say' and wondered which tabloid had used such inflammatory language about asylum. But when I looked though the headlines they included, none of them did >

As I rapidly approach my 60th Birthday I am increasingly enraged by being called a 'kid' by folks that are younger than me because I support policies which threaten their unquestioned lives of privilege. Thomson is only 2 years younger than me, but she has had a much narrower life.
![Screenshot of the Wikipedia entry for Alice Thomson. Text reads:
Education and career
Thomson was educated at Bute House Preparatory School for Girls in West London, the School of St Helen and St Katharine in Abingdon, Oxfordshire and Marlborough College, Wiltshire. She graduated from Bristol University with a BA in history and received an MA in newspaper journalism from City University London. Thomson became a trainee on The Times in 1990 before becoming a foreign correspondent, feature writer and political reporter for the newspaper. In 1997 she moved to The Daily Telegraph as a columnist and leader writer and also wrote the restaurant reviews and political interviews before re-joining The Times in 2008. [2] She has written for Vogue and The Spectator and appeared on Question Time and Newsnight.
In 2014, jointly with colleagues from The Times, she was Political Journalist of the Year in the Press Gazette awards. [3] She was previously a Trustee of the think tank Policy Exchange, [4] on the Policy Committee of the CPRE, and a governor of Bute House preparatory school. [5] Thomson presents the podcast interview series What I Wish I'd Known with fellow Times columnist Rachel Sylvester which has now run for eight series [6] on Times Radio, which began in July 2020.[7] In December 2022, Thomson was chosen as the Interviewer of the Year at the Press Gazette British Journalism Awards.

This is the educational background of Matlis, who represents her political interference as being about whether healthcare is 'data driven' it's not a bad education, but there's nothing about data in it. And clearly very little about critical thought either. But plenty to bolster entitlement
![Screenshot of the Wikipedia entry for Emily Matlis. Text reads:
Maitlis was brought up on Park Avenue in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, with her two older sisters, Nicky and Sally. [8] She was educated at King Edward VII School, Sheffield, [9] and read English at Queens' College, Cambridge. [10] At university, she took part in The Marlowe Society, in productions such as Doctor Faustus, directed by Clare Venables, with Stuart Crossman, and Dominic Rowan. [11] She gained a 2.1 degree.[12]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ekxy7poagajkdk5sl3ywa7zv/bafkreier635tbmslxa2np3erdee2h5rsumb3fsr7camedpcmlhyxtkfkbu@jpeg)

We could share #NotThePhoto this tree was a solid block of red - each leaf glowing. I took multiple shots, changing settings, but couldn't convince my phone's sensor to see it that way

Looking at the news I thought maybe my hope for a Mamdani win was just my bubble. The BBC vox pop definitely means Cuomo & gives Sliwa a good chance. But I guess that's why they use vox pops, they're easy to manipulate.
Al-Jazeera uses polls - Mamdani is 14 points ahead
It's the BBC in the bubble

But sadly, this is a post about the collapse of our information infrastructure (again) looking up more details produced this, which includes two unrelated images of monastic ruins as Dale Abbey. I think a machine picked up the arch bottom left and put them in the same set. 😥
