I wonder whether Wes Streeting can name *even one* reputable international health body that agrees with the position taken by the NHS under those Kemi Badenoch has said were selected for their political views? How convinced is he that their views justifies us being an international outlier?

The proportion of rapes that lead to convictions is vanishingly small. That the criminal justice system does so little to deter this horrific crime is a national disgrace. So we really can do without headlines like this. 👇🏻

In the last decade, the BBC has legitimised climate change denialism, paved the way for Brexit, defended the coup that was prorogation, over-platformed Farage's Far Right projects, and is neutral on our abandonment of human rights norms.

For me, the division is both unsurprising - public institutions are conservative; they lean towards power and the status quo - and revealing. Those who sit under the protective umbrella that institutions throw up are surprisingly incurious about what life is like for those who live outside it.

Between anti trans campaign ads failing last night spectacularly and rep Seth Moulton walking back his anti trans rhetoric, it seems like the slide on support for trans people has been stopped for now. It's still precarious but this was the best possible night we could have had.

This thread does a better job of capturing why the cloud isn’t merely “renting a bunch of servers” than anything else I’ve seen recently.
📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).
It’s also concerning. 1/

PSA: we're aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage. Stand by.

It’s very difficult to differentiate normal from abnormal when young because so much of your lived experience is centered on your own family.
It’s only with age that you can see how different families operate and how they do (or do not) support each other.
Every family is different.
