This seems an excessive overreaction for a Director General to resign over that. The BBC is held to *much* higher standards than every other media outlet, on accuracy and inaccuracy, yet inconsistently and arbitrarily in the detail www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cd...

What would make these numbers more meaningful would be knowing, of the 36% of people who identify identify as “woke” or “anti-woke,” what % can offer a coherent definition of what the term actually means?

When more people in Sweden can name the Democratic candidate for Mayor of New York than the Prime Minister of neighbouring Finland…maybe — just maybe — there’s a little too much coverage of US politics in Europe.

Valen runt om i USA igår kväll var ett tydligt budskap från väljarna mot presidenten och republikanerna, men alla SVT-rubriker handlar om Mamdani. Ingenting om en viktig omröstning i Kalifornien som skulle kunna ge demokraterna kontroll över kongressen 2026.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

Grok just called the race for Cuomo.

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

This seems like a pretty big deal lost in the Mamdani/Virginia/NJ news vortex.

This dude seems to have the perfect response to everything. He just posted this.

CNN predicting Mamdani win. Just wild.

A seeming bit of history tonight as Ghazala Hashmi becomes the first Asian American to win statewide office in Virginia - and the first Muslim woman to win statewide office *anywhere* in the United States.

Brilliant.

Att SVT framställer Mamdani på det här sättet är oansvarig journalistik som faktiskt skadar den offentliga debatten. Det är motsatsen till public service-uppdraget.

Adam Ant can’t be 71 because that would mean I…oh, fuck.

Remember the “outrage” from some people when Washington changed their NFL team name? No. Nobody does. Nobody mentions the old name any more. Just proves what a bunch of bullshit it was. #Commanders

In addition to the frankly unbelievable job by Shanahan and Saleh — 6-3 with a bunch of 4th stringers and Joe Montana’s dog — it’s worth remembering that the key players the #49ers were criticized for letting go in the off-season have been expensive busts (Deebo) or injured (Greenlaw).

US easy to criticize. But, with many Europeans voting for parties with neo-Nazi roots, let’s just say Europeans might want to tone down the condescension about Americans. And, European “educated liberal big city folk” are hardly famous for having their fingers on the pulse of the working classes.

I ‘dislike’ this idea. What made pre-toxic Twitter good was precisely the blend of opinions you liked and didn’t like, and the occasional disagreements and tensions. You know…like life. Rigging the algorithm to only show you things you like will eventually kill this platform.

I fixed a door on our washing machine that had been slightly loose and it felt like I had cured cancer.

Crazy 2022 poll where people in US asked to estimate % of population in different groups. My favorite result? According to these guesses, 85% of the US are either Muslim, Jewish or Native American. The TOTAL for all three is actually 4%. Oh, and a third of the country is gay/lesbian.

This guy is utterly disgusting.

Tech companies now spend €151m a year on lobbying in Brussels — a 33-percent increase on 2023. With the backing of the US government, they hope to push the EU Commission while it's looking towards simplifying its digital regulations.

UK: "House and rent prices are going up in the UK because of immigration." Hungary and Poland: "We don't take immigrants!" UK: "Then your housing must have remained really low and affordable!" Hungary and Poland: "Well..."

Incredible how many European free-market capitalists complain saying non-white people in ads is "woke multiculturalism.” No. This is a growing market with growing economic power that was ignored for decades. So, it's the very free market capitalism the people complaining told us was so ”democratic.”

Otroligt hur många europeiska frimarknadskapitalister som klagar på att icke-vita människor i reklam är "woke mångkulturalism". Nej. Detta är en växande marknad med växande ekonomisk makt som ignorerades i årtionden. Med andra ord, det är den frimarknadskapitalism som de klagande har förespråkat.

The more likely reason for the “over-representation” of Black and Asian people in UK ads is that they are becoming an increasing economic force in the UK. It’s about trying to attract a segment of the market previously ignored or downplayed. So…it’s not “wokeness,” it’s basic capitalism.

Anthony Boyd asked Supreme Court justices to spare him from a torturous death by nitrogen hypoxia. They said no. His execution took 37 minutes. This is barbarous. ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/antho...

Seven years later and my heart continues to ache for the 11 people killed and 6 others injured at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Synagogue. They were shot as they prayed for no other reason than because they were Jewish. May their memories forever be a blessing.

The deep conversations currently taking place on Twitter/X.

“I went to [Enter Famous Fast Food Restaurant] last night for a small meal and the prices were crazy!” Twitter/X: “Why are you complaining? That’s the price of FREEDOM!” Bluesky: “How can you be so irresponsible? Do you have any idea what the saturated fat and sodium levels are in those meals?”

Now out in Party Politics 🎉 Our study (@jbpilet.bsky.social)suggests that when a mainstream right-wing party signals willingness to rule with the radical right, support for the radical right rises — while the mainstream gains nothing. 👉 A legitimisation effect. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Now THIS is digital innovation we can use. Two Swedish 20-year-olds went to 317 bars across Stockholm checking beer prices & Happy Hours prices. They then created an interactive map of Stockholm showing where you can find the cheapest beers at the exact moment you search. xn--vadkostarlen-djb.se

Based on Bluesky's current growth and usage metrics, there's only about six months before everyone on here becomes pregnant at the same time. We will all give birth around Jan 2027 and the shared experience of childrearing "the Bluesky generation" will unite us in purpose and, possibly, all thought.

Detta är en oerhört viktig debatt. Det som behövs nu är inte en försvagning eller begränsning av public service. Tvärtom. Public service måste stärkas och skyddas som ett vaccin mot desinformation och kommersialisering av media i en era av "big tech"makt. www.svt.se/kultur/publi...

It’s a testament to the power of disinformation and toxic politics that Britain is recognising the national train wreck that is Brexit…yet, at the same time, Farage — the man who drove that train — is flying high in the polls.

Introducing my daughter to the genius that is @alisonmoyet.bsky.social. One of the greatest voices in the history of British pop.

The hatred of Greta Thunberg by a virulent core of middle-aged white men is a crystallisation of social media misogyny in general: It’s jealously combined with an inability to tolerate (or even understand) a woman in the public eye whose existence is defined by anything other than her sexuality.
