I, for one, applaud CBS News for being honest about its new POV

It’s gone too far now. I am worse off for knowing that my second most prevalent purchase this year was cabbages.

📣 Announcing Dataharvest 2026! Our call for proposals is open, and conference developments revealed... We've collected all the important info you need about our European Investigative Journalism Conference in one place. #Dataharvest #EIJC26 [1/2]

We're announcing a new partnership with StopNCII.org to prevent non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII) from spreading on Bluesky. While NCII hasn't been frequent on our platform, these incidents are devastating for victims and preventing them is a top safety priority. 1/4

30 years ago, on 23 November 1995, @shetnews.co.uk became one of the first online #LocalNews websites. Today they remain a tiny outfit, but operate without a paywall, pop-ups or clickbait. Loved this editorial, outlining the ups and downs along the way: www.shetnews.co.uk/2025/11/24/t...

1/3 Case study: how can we have less toxic, non-extractive #SocialMedia, that works the way internet pioneers originally envisioned? Well, look no further than my old haunt @thebristolcable.bsky.social, and my new #Fediverse friends the @newsmastfoundation.org!

Clear, sharp work on capitalism, neocolonialism and supply chains today from @theexamination.org, @nytimes.com, and a collaborative group of international journalists.

BREAKING: A judge has decided to approve a $7 billion settlement with OxyContin-maker Purdue Pharma that requires the Sacklers to pay victims.

For #ClimateComms folk, the Crip Up Climate Conversations guidance by @emmageen.bsky.social and @sarahbell85.bsky.social is an excellent resource for understanding disabled people in the context of the climate crisis and supporting respectful conversations. sensing-climate.com/news/crip-up...

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

Want to know how we reached millions of people with the #GreenToGrey investigation? This week, I wrote up our comms and impact process for @tbij.bsky.social's newsletter The Spark. [1/2] #journalism #impact the-spark-tbij.beehiiv.com/p/green-to-g...

🔴'BBC Bias’ Memo Was Authored by Lobbyist Tied to Pro-Trump Tech Giants The leaked memo that fuelled Trump’s attack on the BBC was written by a lobbyist at a firm paid by US tech giants tied to the President, reports @nafeez.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2025/11/11/b...

🌍 The 'Forever' project revealing the scale of PFAS crisis has achieved huge impact, beginning in 2023 and ongoing in '25. Credit to @stephanehorel.bsky.social who spearheaded & co-ordinated this massive two-part, multi-award winning, law-changing project foreverpollution.eu/lobbying/impact/ [1/2]

This is disability visibility. Mamdani listened. He didn’t pander or talk over the disabled journalist. He acknowledged his concerns and gave real responses about how he plans to fix them. 1 in 4 Americans has a disability, it’s a huge number of voters. Don’t ignore us!

Finnur Dellsén got a nice pic of me on my standard Q&A slide, so now I have a stock reply to any time anyone disagrees with me.

If I could I would #VoteMamdani (not just for the gorgeous comms but the comms is good)

A reminder for everyone to ask their MP to go to this. Politicians must know the facts on the threat & solutions. And crucially, they need to have been publicly seen to have been informed, so they can't say they didn't know.

Alt read - Labour has already handed Reform the keys to UK data, so Yusuf knows they don't need to bother with DOGEing councils. Labour's Data Bill has legalised US DOGE-style seizures of mountains of personal data on UK residents. Farage is already gloating about it. A 🧵 on an overlooked threat

Yes, mostly… but can left/progressive media not join in w “man on national platform being silenced” trope? Derbyshire wasn’t “horrified”, she didn’t even respond. This kind of spin delegitimises a good argument. Write about the Peston clip where he’s cut off! bellacaledonia.org.uk/2025/10/23/t...

The Express printing positive articles about @zackpolanski.bsky.social wasn't on my bingo card... www.express.co.uk/news/politic... What's next? The Daily Mail saying we have too much inequality?!

Experts feared it would take 193 years to reduce London's deadly levels of NO₂ air pollution to legal levels. This week Mayor Sadiq Khan announced his team had defied the howls of pro-fossil fuel and motoring lobbyists to achieve the life-saving target in just 9 YEARS. Here's how they did it 🧵

One of the most important #dataviz investigations to come out recently from @porcelinad.bsky.social*** & team @theguardian.com ***Who, by the way, published same week she also published our collaborative data investigation, #GreenToGrey. Much sleep deserved. www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

🟢 We’ve described Green to Grey as a ‘first of its kind’ data investigation. That’s a big claim – so, let us explain what we mean. The data methodology process for measuring nature loss across Europe is fascinating — but complex, and most of us are not data specialists! 🧵👇 [1/3]

Women are paying the price for ancient & contemporary gender bias in medicine & surgery We ask what we can do about it Oct 30 at Hen & Chicken, North St, BS3 W/ Gabriel Weston Gene Feder & @elizmizon.com time.com/6074224/gend... #bristoltalks #women #medecine #surgery #genderequality #feminism

I’m beginning to think it is bad that some of the world’s the worst people control our entire media infrastructure.

Our paper on clusters of schools across the UK is out. We find five clusters: multi-racial & super-diverse middle & working-class schools of towns & cities, suburban white middle class schools, established elite schools & (post-)industrial white working class schools. doi.org/10.1002/berj...

💚 #GreenToGrey has got to be the biggest project I've worked on, not only geographically, but in level of revelation, clarity and potential impact. So you know it's got a good behind the scenes story... My piece on how @journalismarena.eu makes this happen: journalismarena.eu/arenas-green...

Arena's major new investigation spans 11 countries, 10 months and millions of m² to reveal the scale of nature and cropland loss across Europe for the first time 👇 💚 This is the largest scale project I've worked on. Find out how to get involved (you can!) at the 'About' page: greentogrey.eu

🚨 NEW: By the end of this video, Europe will have lost 2850m² of land to construction. That’s almost half a Premier League football pitch. This rate of loss, amounting to 600 football pitches a day, is 1.5 times higher than official EEA estimates. This is the #GreenToGrey project. [1/3]

Is this The Onion?

It’s easy to despair when Tommy Robinson and 100,000 far-right marchers fill London + Reform is surging in the polls. But the UK — and other countries — have stopped the far right in its tracks in the recent past. Here’s how 🧵

Karl Popper was the greatest philosopher of the 20th century. Jewish by birth, he fled the N*zis in 1937. What does his Paradox of Tolerance tell us about "Tommy Robinson" and those who marched with him in London on Saturday? 🧵
