EHRC anti-trans campaign loses its momentum - a week of absolute scenes has left the organisation in limbo. Here's what happened, why it happened, and what it all means iandunt.substack.com/p/frightened...

I hear there’s a new wave of Twitter people headed this way. I know we don’t talk about them much anymore, but I made a starter pack ages ago you might like if you’re into critical tech work and Luddites.

The four stages of bubble grief 1. It’s not a bubble 2. It’s not ‘my’ bubble 3. Bubbles are good! 4. Bubble trouble…

Gavin Williamson claimed education unions were “blockers” at the COVID enquiry yesterday. We were trying to save lives. Our member, Donna Coleman, died on his watch. @drjogrady.bsky.social on Newsnight.

That the BBC can publish this article without a mention of workers rights, their lack of access to unions, risks to welfare from exposure to harmful digital materials and the other long established risks to the human beings in the AI data supply chain is shocking www.bbc.com/news/article...

The bubble is about to go pop…

You're living through one of the biggest technological transformations in world history and it has nothing to do with AI

Wow, what a fantastic piece this is. www.nplusonemag.com/issue-51/the...

🎙 New @therealnews.com: Will @txst.edu fire a tenured professor based on a Nazi apologist's doctored video? I spoke with Professor Tom Alter himself about his case, which has become a flashpoint in the MAGA right’s all-out assault on free speech & higher education. therealnews.com/will-texas-s...

Can you imagine British journalists doing this to Farage?

Best 25 minutes of the season for the Sunderland lasses in what is a really entertaining game of football down at Crystal Palace. 1-1, could and should be 2-1 up. #SAFC www.youtube.com/live/n08ab4f...

Awkward for Zia Yusuf, who keeps being sent out to lie as cover for the Reform UK leader Who did Nigel Farage have lunch with after resigning as UKIP leader 4 July 2016? Why, it's Russian bribe enthusiast Nathan Gill, who then did the important news briefing on his behalf (to Russia Today) #BBCQT

Byline Times has been told by various sources that Farage has maintained a close interest in Ukraine’s conflict with Russia… But Farage’s ignorance of this particular set of pro-Russian influencers around Nathan Gill is even more questionable…. bylinetimes.com/2025/10/11/s...

The idea that Farage doesnt know Nathan Gill is ludicrous - they’ve been close for years and this story is as serious as it gets podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/b...

Change hearts. Change minds. Change lives. On Friday 17 October UNISON members wear red to say no to racism and yes to change. Share your red and tag #WRD25 to show your support. #SRTRC

after careful study, I believe only people born between 1975 and 1995 should be allowed to use the internet

I can never see mention of carbon offsets without thinking of when the VP of Facilities at Georgetown described them as "buying indulgences" at a Sustainability Advisory Committee meeting. She wasn't wrong... www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This lad - unreal.

Any time a politician says we should leave the ECHR, the very next questions any interviewer should ask are 🚨Which human rights are you willing to lose personally 🚨Which methods of torture are you going to allow people to be sent to face 🚨Which family members would you be willing to lose #r4today

This is the article I’ve been waiting for!

Reform UK’s Nigel Farage with the Russian Ambassador (that he denied meeting), and with Oleg Voloshyn's wife Nadia Borodi, Voloshyn bribed Nathan Gill. Farage is still silent. It’s deafening. #ReformRussianBribes

If she does this, the gap between her policy and Farage's will narrow considerably. Retrospective legislation is the choice of tinpot dictators and intellectual vegetables. It means no-one could take Britain's word seriously.

Keeping the receipts on this one

My take (from Friday) on the digital ID proposals. I don't think it's relevant to say, "but other countries have ID cards, why can't we?" The critical questions here are implementation-based and it seems like they are up for grabs www.careful.industries/blog/2025-9-...

What a weekend of football.

After this weekend, I’m proposing a total ban on the mention of golf during football commentary.

This has been known for several years. What is actually going to be done about it? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Despite being clearly the better side, a scrambled goal from Southampton courtesy of a handball on the line means it’s 1-1 at the break. Once again the refereeing in #WSL2 costing #SAFC dearly

Katie Watson runs down the right, through the Saints defence and finishes with authority to make it 1-0 to the Lasses #SAFC

“AI” isn’t a tool or technology or even a cluster of technologies with a misleading name. It’s the infrastructure at the foundation of a form of capitalism dependent on data brokering. We should be teaching our students about this and not teaching them about “responsible” use.

It’s like some sort of dream

Please, Man United, don’t sack Amorim this week #SAFC

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

Farage & Nathan Gill have been very close friends for over a decade. Worked together since the pre-Brexit UKIP days. Gill has just been found guilty of accepting Russian bribes. Surely Farage must have known.

I chatted with the @financialtimes.com about my writing, the podcast, tech criticism, and being myself. archive.is/2025.09.25-0...

Calling stuff like this "disinformation" is really credibility washing. It's pitiful nonsense, designed to utterly devalue and news and information environment, and there seems to be no resilience in the system to mitigate against it.

“The biggest US-listed companies keep talking about artificial intelligence. But other than the ‘fear of missing out,’ few appear to be able to describe how the technology is changing their businesses for the better.”

Sunderland are unbeaten in all three matches at home this season, and Wilson Isidor has scored in them all! 🏠

Can we please stop wasting energy pointing out hypocrisy on the right? They don’t give a shit, dude.

NEW Has the government overreached in using terrorism law against Palestine Action? A disclosed MI5 document indicates that the basis for proscription may be weak By me, at @prospectmagazine.co.uk www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...

Great win for the lasses tonight in the derby match. Combinations clicking all over the pitch and real quality coming off the bench. Watson looking like an absolute star #SAFC

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

Palantir is thriving under Donald Trump, but what does the company really do? This week @carolinehaskins.bsky.social joins @parismarx.com to discuss the tech Palantir sells to governments and companies and the ideology that guides its leaders. Full ep: techwontsave.us/episode/294_...

Confident Social democracy, a progressive immigration policy and public investment…

Oh, Mam Bach....we're done! What an #AdultLearnersWeek we've had. It has been great to work with all 128 learners over 10 events, including the over 100 people who took part our "Get Organised..." lunchtime webinars.

I wish more people would call this what it is: a lie/scam to increase unpaid labour. Management know many of us won’t give crap feedback, so instead we work evenings/weekends or let other work slip. Their spreadsheet is happy, students still get decent feedback. All the burden is on the Lecturer.

Outrageous bollocks from a pathetically thin skinned Government which is willing to humiliate Britain on the international stage to brown nose one of the most dangerous men the world has ever known. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
