I am not going to deny that AI transcription and translation is improving fast, but as a speaker and researcher in a minority language I am not lookng forward to a bunch of anglophones clicking a button and telling me about my specialism with no ability to check the originals

Now, obviously this woman's behaviour is indefensible, but it is interesting how different the response is when the victims are men. If this had happened the other way around ... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I know there's more to it, but this does annoy me.

Years and years campaigns encouraging people to ask for help when they are suffering with mental health problems. More people ask for help when they are suffering with mental health problems. OMG why are so many people asking for help when they are suffering with mental health problems.

AN OLD MAN RANTS: increasingly coming across waiters chummily asking ‘what have you been up to this morning?’ while taking a lunch order or ‘any plans for the rest of the day?’ Obv they mean it kindly. But JUST STOP IT. You don’t know if I’ve been to a funeral, or am going for a prostate exam 1/2

Why the hell is that Yusuf bloke going to be on Question Time again?

🔴There's been a lot of coverage about David Lammy’s cuts to jury trials but relatively little - nothing! - on his plans to scrap the automatic right to appeal so I took a look for @bylinetimes.bsky.social. bylinetimes.com/2025/12/03/d...

"Listen, I know it sounds like I'm regurgitating the least likely to shower parts of Reddit but I'm actually just following the science, which clearly tells us that poor men never have sex. That's why you never see poor children. Just doesn't happen. Science."

That's an odd way of spelling Australia.

Sabrina Carpenter's post yesterday calling the White House video "evil and disgusting" is in record-setting ratio territory: 1.3 million likes (20x more than WH's), 177,000 reposts, 83 million views

You will be shocked to discover after reading these stories that while Rachel Reeves claimed to have been the "British girls under-14 [chess] champion" she was in reality merely the "Under 14s British Women’s Chess Association (BWCA) Girls" Champion. This is getting utterly ridiculous now

BREAKING NEWS Over a third of Welsh Labour Senedd Members have written to Keir Starmer to stop undermining devolution. They say: "If this was being done by a Tory Government, we would be calling for a judicial review. This must never happen again." 1/2

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.

ODYSSEUS: wife I am home after 20 years PENELOPE: oh shit I mean honey you are home how wonderful ODYSSEUS: who are all these strange men PENELOPE: well, I'll tell you what they're definitely not, which is a 300 person polycule ruling in your absence

Good thread on some of the reasons for the state of near collapse of the court system - none of which will be improved by restricting jury trials. ⬇️

The Labour Party is haemorrhaging votes among the under 40s. Where do the under 40s get their news? For most of them it's not from traditional media. Yet the news paper barons are still treated as gods of the political scene.

Considering the shit they let Boris Johnson get away with, this stuff is pretty annoying. Especially from Mason, who had an absolute meltdown over the lifting of the two child benefit cap.

December 1st is the international day to recognise, remember & stand with those who have experienced HIV and AIDS. Let’s all pledge to call out the ignorance and bigotry that can leave people feeling excluded. Let’s stand against the bullies and with the bullied. Let’s focus on love, not hate.

I know everyone's rightly concentrating on the rancid anti-queerness here, but I'm also very much side-eyeing "parents have the right to force religious observance on their kids till they leave school"

This is the most alarming story I’ve read today. Giving up the fight before it’s started

I'll just say I'd rather watch a game where there are red cards every week for high shots than one where, with everything we know about CTE, early-onset dementia and potentially even MND, the players' safety is rated below entertainment as a refereeing priority.

as someone that decides what I want to buy it makes sense for me to know how they were made, and knowing they weren't made by talented humans putting in actual work using tools that require actual intelligence to use and get results from, I know what not to waste my time and money on.

Helping people is unchristian? She's gone the full US republican.

The fantastic @ethymologynerd must’ve put tons of work into this great graphic showing the name and story behind the name of popular patterns used in clothing. I knew exactly nothing!

The BBC still banging on about the budget. I don't know the reporter's name, but he's clearly very angry about lifting the two child cap.

Remember when Wales tried out UBI for care leavers? I wish we'd kept that going.

Grr. I hope they've done things properly and this doesn't get stopped or delayed on a technicality. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
