"* The share of the public who believe these four myths is very small. Between 3% and 8% of the adult population ... the hard-core group is even smaller: Just 1.3% believe all four false claims about vaccines are “definitely true.” ." www.kff.org/from-drew-al...

Obviously this is utterly disgusting, but I’m baffled that he thinks that this will be well received. The U.K. public does not yearn for handguns!

Sarah has been saying this for a long time and she's right. It definitely matters that so much propaganda etc is free and good journalism and writing is often behind paywalls. We're living through the impacts of all this.

This made me a bit sad (RIP Biz and MCA) but it also healed me spiritually

This is cool. Spurs have applied to install around 3,800 solar panels on the roof of their north London stadium. "The proposed 1.64MW system would give the ground a substantial source of on-site renewable electricity."

As the Pakistan government were quoted as saying in the Today programme it's a colonial mindset. Deporting him doesn't make girls safe from him, in fact he might be able to escape scrutiny/ evade licence conditions more easily in a country where he hasn't been convicted of anything.

“people respond much more positively to being challenged about their choices, when the person who is challenging them is very open about their hypocrisy first” Very short (old) piece by the very thoughtful Lucas Ruzo of @citizenzoo.bsky.social www.citizenzoo.org/hypocrisy-to...

Has the Windrush Commissioner said anything about this? Has the government consulted the Windrush Commissioner? And if not, why not (in both cases)?

Periodical reminder that 1) the UK government made all the decisions behind the Windrush situation 2) Mahmood either lacks or pretends to lack the historical and policy knowledge that would be required for the position she holds.

Tired: Hand held fan Wired: AC Inspired: riding the Victoria line by the open window between carriages

what a surprise. again, he reacted like this when the Nazi tattoo was revealed! he wasn't contrite, there was no actual acceptance or suggestion of change, it was pure entitlement and anger. All of this should have been obvious.

there is a cohort of men who resent the responsibilities and obligations of adulthood — of the fact that you owe things to other people. it is a fundamentally childish impulse that they have reconfigured as the height of masculinity, and i think it informs the parasocial attraction to platner.

Quick post at CAMPAIGN TRAILS on the idiocy of liberals punching left.

exactly we saw this w Epstein. The guys who weren’t rapist themselves but stuck around and idolized Epstein after he went to jail, invited him to Harvard luncheon etc. they admired the fact that he violated thr law, constantly, and got away with it He was living their fantasy He was a totem

the woke left is yet again refusing to even try green eggs and ham even though the latest proposal has attempted to accomodate their unreasonable objections to a nautical themed brunch by including the calming presence of a friendly goat

I volunteered on a rape crisis line awhile back and in the mandatory 40 hour training, a cop came to talk at us. He told three stories about cases he'd worked and he victim blamed all three victims at least once. That's how they talk when they are hand selected, prepped, and in front of an audience.

It's actually pathetic that Rahm Emanuel, an ardent Zionist and Orthodox Jew who is way, WAY to my right, gives a milquetoast speech that basically said "hey Israel, cool it on the greater Israel talk," and the response has been to call *him* an antisemite.

Ukraine is bombarding Crimea every day, strangling it of basic necessities—basically laying siege to the peninsula—and how are Russian responding? By fleeing, by wringing their hands, by getting more and more anxious to end the war. Who in Russia is signing up to defend this "holy land"? Anyone?

Dunedin Herald doing brilliant stuff

It is difficult to articulate how boring and inconvenient it is to staff an overnight surveillance post, particularly if it is in a vehicle. People should thank God that an empty laundry detergent bottle is not a part of the standard equipment they have to keep in their cars.

Looking at the court filing, she’s alleging much more than lax standards on AI studies - the suit outlines a pattern of IRB evasion and contravention on Mayo’s part that’s honestly very scary if true.

Several people choked up in interviews. I noticed a pattern, tho. No one lost composure recalling the damage Trump had inflicted....No one cried over Good or Pretti.... People became emotional relating how their whole community had bravely rallied to defeat a threat to a part of their community.

From ‘Outstanding’ and a good reminder that investing in the arts is a win-win, not a lose-lose, proposition.

People are dunking on this saying that it's communism when it is pretty straightforwardly racketeering

Misogyny. This specific political tendency is called misogyny.

It’s the centering of the American Christian version of repentance where “I shouldn’t have done that” is sufficient and proves a complete change of heart and mind. If we required even an iota of work beyond “acknowledged it was bad” it wouldn’t be as destructive to love a good redemption story.

Okay so I’ve got a podcast to pitch you. And in like 18 months or so, a book as well

Wildlife crossings are gaining global momentum and rare nonpartisan support. Journalist @bengoldfarb.bsky.social joins @mikedigirolamo.bsky.social at the Mongabay Newscast to discuss how these structures are helping protect threatened wildlife, and improving genetic diversity. 🎧️ Listen now 👇️

Between this and the national guard in Memphis it’s kind of disturbing me (yes I know I’m a member of the media) the degree to which these killings aren’t really breaking thru rn

I wanna tell the story of where my screen name came from. It's a story some of you are probably already familiar with but it deserves retelling. It's well documented that thousands of Black people were killed by lynchings for decades, but the year 1892 was particularly egregious 🧵

Y’all need to read this thread. Seriously. Read this thread from the beginning all the way to the end. It’s not very long. It won’t take much of your time. Just do it.

If you’re saying that the Conservatives can’t, with a six week campaign, bank “every voter to the left of Kemi” and get enough Reform voters on a “we’re the same but our candidate will actually visit the seat and doesn’t have murky votes” to at least embarrass Farage…sorry that’s an alarm bell!

This, in the National Gallery in Dublin, when I was a kid. I didn't know who Poussin was and I wasn't religious, but I found it devastating, as I still do.

Boy I never expected this from Robert Jenrick, the former housing minister who unlawfully approved a development for a prominent Tory donor and was inexplicably allowed to remain in post

To understand the law in question you need to understand that "Commonwealth citizens" = "British subjects". These were people who had been and indeed in 1971 still were British subjects. Taking the right of entry away was a big step and it came with protections for those who were resident here.

It’s always the ones you most expect

Also I can't see Parliament passing a law directed at this one offender. It'll be anyone convicted of an offence of a certain gravity, after a certain time (probably). It's akin to deprivation of citizenship in these cases. Terrible proposal.

iron rule of British politics is even if a guy who dresses as a bin becomes prime minister he will have been to Oxbridge

Okay, tell you what: if he really doesn't turn up then he should be replaced with a puppet and Binface does both voices.

What we need now is one of the TV stations to host a debate, Farage to refuse to attend and @countbinface.bsky.social to empty chair him.

A very funny thing that the Crown could do (they won’t) is refuse to dismiss Farage from the Manor of Northstead, so he can’t run again until the next MP resigns

It's just this. Paragraphs upon paragraphs of

(Once in a blue moon someone does something sensible and realises if they don't insist on living in London they are actually genuinely wealthy and moves out...)

I recall soon after the foreign offenders debacle in 2006 the Daily Mail got very angry that Australia had the nerve to want to deport back to the UK a convicted murderer who'd lived in Australia for decades and spent 20 years in prison there. They just couldn't see it ...

The Dead Christ In The Tomb

GB News has announced it's cutting up to *a third* of its workforce, as losses mount and advertisers steer clear of its toxic content /1 www.thenewworld.co.uk/rats-in-a-sa...

Well there's a comparison I haven't seen before.
