The EHRC seem to be concerned with neither equality nor human rights. Tens rights are human rights. And trans women are women. Which persecuted minority is next?

Once again, Scotland takes a step in the right direction, and the UK shoots it down.

I’m watching TV in the US. And I just saw an advert for schizophrenia medication. WTAF?! Ads for paracetamol or cough syrup I can cope with, but direct to consumer ads for mental health meds? No. Please make it stop.

The actual proportion of migrants arriving by small boat is 4% of the total migration into Britain. That is 4%. Don't believe all the disinformation in the right wing press and by Farage.

Welfare U-turn makes spending decisions harder, UK minister says.
Why scapegoat the old, sick, poor, disabled?
Not taxing the rich is a political choice.
There is money for corporate welfare, crony contacts, foreign wars.
Since 2010 HMRC failed to collect £500bn of tax.

An example of American exceptionalism where they don’t realise they are part of a bigger community.
How many of these examples were “made in the USA” without input from foreigners though, I wonder.
Pretty disappointing that it was written by an astronomer who should know better.

Smart kid.
As my 18 year old daughter says wearily of the tech bros, They're just trying to build god.
Sam Altman posted this essay in the last hour. I’m someone who believes AI is a genuinely transformative technology – at least the biggest since the internet.
But I read this and it just comes across as either delusional or a bizarre, fantastical sales pitch. I can’t work out which is worse.
