…Contrived Authority strategies are unscientific, predetermined, unaccountable *propaganda* actions designed to be weaponised by dishonest politicians to go against genuine medical evidence. They have the *appearance* of science but are fake. They are propaganda masquerading as science . 2/2

The Cass Review is the worst kind of pseudoscience & has at least 13 peer-reviewed critiques of it (all ignored by mainstream media). Streeting now wants a Cass Review for Autism, ADHD, etc. I have characterised these as “contrived authority” strategies (referring to the work of Max Weber) 1/2

Smart just about everything can just fuck off. Companies are not responsible enough to run the 'features' that they are adding.

This Pluribus ad on a fridge caused a schizophrenic woman named Carol to be hospitalized.

Hey Wes, I can save you the trouble. The reason a lot of people are struggling with their mental health in the UK is it fucking sucks here. Aside from usual late-stage capitalism stuff, everything that could be cool about living here has been systematically made worse by people like you, you cunt.

I know I have committed to a more cheerful timeline, but… I do not know what to do with these feelings of anxiety and despair. As a country, we are slipping in to fascism, goaded and driven on by the most disingenuous set of cowardly arseholes I have ever seen.

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions. It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.

I can't speak for what was said at the protests, but seeing people react to an anodyne statement like "sacred spaces should not be used to promote activities in violation of international law" as if it were a vicious slur is clarifying.

Israel is ramping up efforts to expel international activists from the West Bank during the olive harvest. This piece details how this year's harvest has seen a surge in violent settler attacks, military actions, and land closures. By Maya Rosen in @jewishcurrents.bsky.social buff.ly/2cmtiVu

Meanwhile the President just yesterday said an assassinated journalist deserved it and celebrated his killer

Oh boy, Cloudflare is suffering a hiccup and now a huge chunk of the internet is fucked. Who's idea was to shove it all into like, 3 or 4 big-ass companies?

The Christian right for decades has fear-mongered that federal agents (under Dem presidents) would "criminalize" Christianity and literally prevent them from worshipping. Now that Trump's stormtroopers are doing it ... crickets

#Privatisation of #PublicServices never creates a better or cheaper service. One reason: Profit.

Results of a multi year study recently released, Scotland vs E gland. The Scottish system that didn't go into privatizing is better, lower wait tines and better health outcomes

it's been hard to put this feeling into words, but we've spent the past couple of decades being lectured to and patronized by an elite class that spent its free time joshing with jeffrey epstein about his little sex abuse empire while lecturing us about how out of touch we are

Oh, it's gonna happen.

"UNICEF said on Tuesday that essential items, including syringes to vaccinate children and bottles for baby formula, are being denied entry into Gaza by Israel, preventing aid agencies from reaching those in need in the war-torn territory."

Laws are bent for the rich. Wages taxed at marginal rates of 20% – 45% plus national insurance contributions (NIC). Capital gains taxed at 18% to 32%, no NIC . Dividends taxed at 8.75% to 39.35%, no NIC. All income must be taxed at the same rate.

This is a glorious rant, and I'm here for it

I'm a computer engineer which is exactly why I want most of my main household items to be offline.

Several things here, tbh, but to me the most salient point is the fact that a lot of hyper connected objects have had close to zero design thoughts invested in cybersecurity

Steps to removing Nigel Farage as an MP: 1. Investigation & report by the Committee on Standards. 2. House of Commons orders his suspension for 14 days. 3. 10% of registered voters in Clacton sign a petition recalling their MP. Bye bye Farage!

Govt publishes England water companies' league of sewage dumping and pollution . Worst since 2011. 9 companies collectively received 19 out of possible 36 stars. Thames Water the lowest rating of 1. Seven firms score only 2. No fines on execs. No exec prosecuted. Dividends paid. Customers fleeced

We need to rewild 30% of the planet to restore nature & protect our wildlife, but Britain is falling behind. So I've signed this new petition calling on one of our biggest landowners - the Church of England - to rewild its land. Join me? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

This is what pivoting right to "win" always accomplishes.

In the United States the President is deliberately dismantling the White House, while in the United Kingdom we are doing nothing to stop the Palace of Westminster from falling apart. Much the same can be said of our respective constitutions.

This photo accompanying a news story about the heist at the Louvre is perfection.

"Nathan Gill isn’t some postscript to a minor episode of recent British history. He’s a key to understanding the scale and sophistication of the threat against us, a network of pro-Russian actors that stretches not only across the Atlantic but Europe too." @carolecadwalla.bsky.social

The attack on Mark is another stunt by right-wing grifters to victimize a random person in an effort to use MAGA fear mongering to justify their existence. It should go without saying we should do anything possible to support his family.

Freedom is just another name for “a gap in the law”.
