This week’s Ask Justin podcast is about how to find hope, confidence and possibility in the future after a break up. Lots of advice here about break ups and moving forward reflecting on my own experiences,

The U.K. government has been talking about disinformation education for years but I have yet to see it meaningfully happen. And I mean we need to begin with staff who are wildly swept away by ai hype and EEF and research Ed propaganda. Let alone the news or online sources.

In the most respectful way, I love Justin and this message is so important: how about we work with young people. And help them. Laugh with them - and too many adults need to put the damn phones down and just talk

I do also like how the SNP were a smooth sphere of sealed omerta and media hostility, right up until their former leader got arrested for grabbing women’s arses, at which point their older politicians all went completely insane and started writhing and squealing at journos about women with penises.

'AI things' are bad for young people and their mental health discourse 💯. However that discourse also produces 'yp are in constant crisis', 'yp have no resources', 'all online things are bad for yp'. Like 'hello'. If you're not interested in resourcing yp at least point them in the right direction

It's impressive that these people can be this deliberately stupid and carve out a living. Wes Streeting is an incredibly easy character to understand! He's a piece of shit who believes in his own political mythology and believes that mythology entitles him to be Prime Minister.

Hard to believe it was only a decade ago that groomed and exploited children received cautions and charges for prostitution and, in spite of being victims, were punished accordingly. They will now be pardoned but this shameful legacy and all its consequences remains. www.gov.uk/government/n...

"We will fight for you, because we are you." I think was my favourite line from Zohran's amazing victory speech last night. (That and "turn the volume up")

And note that he never rejected what some sneeringly refer to as "idpol". Never came close to throwing minorities under the bus. On the contrary. The affordability agenda came hand in hand with him actively standing up for those principles. He could never have mobilised his base like this otherwise.

British socialists have become too used to making excuses for the flaws and shortcomings of our leaders. Look at this. This is the standard. We deserve this every bit as much as New York does.

RSE often gets stuck in unhelpful binaries of: healthy / unhealthy; mind / body; nature / nurture; risk / pleasure; sex negative / sex positive In this course we will learn how to overcoming these binaries by making RSE 'a becoming' (and why that's important)

My problem with abstinence models like #NoNutNovember is that as soon as you nut, that’s it, game over. If you are wanting to cut down how much you masturbate or if you are wanting to have a better relationship it and you then I don’t think it helps. #NNN www.bishuk.com/sex/tips-for...

"I was a bit skeptical tbh, but one session was able to shift my mindset completely." "I feel that I have benefited so much from our session! I left it feeling so moved, and with much more confidence about listening to my own body and wants and leaning in to that." 😂 justinhancock.co.uk#coaching

It's been November for 36 hours and I've forgotten to post this. I'm so sorry #NNN folk. Here I critique the assumptions and motivations of NNN (often v v bad) but also (crucially) give lots of very good advice about how to do it (or something else). #NoNut www.bishuk.com/sex/tips-for...

if you want 58% of your donation to be spent on salaries and benefits, sure, go ahead. but the lights are not going to go off any time soon when the Wikimedia Foundation has $82m in pure cash and their internet hosting costs are $3m a year. they spend almost twice that on travel and conferences

Nigel Farage is an always was a cats paw for the British press, who specifically recruited him to push at the door of racism. Without them and their years of active, self-interested promotion, he is still just some dickhead addressing Rotary clubs.

This is disastrous; hospices do such important work, not only to give people a good death, but to provide pain management and other services to people with terminal conditions. The staff in hospices work so, so hard and the fact that these institutions depend on charity to operate is a scandal.

The Israeli military killed 46 Palestinian children overnight. That's 10 more than the total number of Israeli children killed on 7th October. Yet there was more outrage over the fictional beheadings of Israeli babies than these 46 kids. That's easy: because there's no outrage

The reason this Nazi crank keeps arsing on about Britain specifically is that he has noticed that here, he is pushing at an open door. We should think about why that might be so.

I would add that the obvious drivel the British press were fed by Peter Mandelson and his flying monkeys, that they joyously repeated on air, was the direct cause of Boris Johnson winning an election on diamond-hard Brexit: a bit more consequential than Emily Maitlis getting a Netflix drama deal.

This is especially toxic because the only feather the British press have in their caps in recent years is Emily Maitlis kicking fuck out of Prince Andrew, an important wanker everyone hates. Except it turns out, they were all repeating propaganda they were handed by another prominent Epstein friend.

Another - quite different - kind of reasoning is: I oppose party y. I think party x is soft on party y. I think party z is better at opposing party. The term for this is ‘voting’. The explanation of the result in Caerphilly is that people voted.

An observation on language and the Caerphilly by-election result. I’ve read that the result is the outcome of ‘tactical voting’. I define tactical voting as this reasoning. I support party x. I oppose party y. In order to achieve the latter I will vote party z (1/2)

I'm hopeful that the butchers, chandlers and the first class cake shop are okay. #HMHB Chatteris media company to close over 'influx of AI' - BBC News share.google/F6hFEXB68yZb...

Well, we have our answer for how long pure media bullshit alone can keep people nobody likes or wants above water, and it is “about one year, maybe eighteen months”.

How Accurate is this BBC News Report about the Accuracy of AI News Reports? Out of curiosity I decided to check that "45%" figure mentioned below and which features in the headline of the BBC report. Now maybe I'm being dumb, but that 45% number sort of appears from nowhere. To explain... 1/
