People say "autism never used to exist" and then you go to the Natural History Museum and the exhibit has a caption like "Born in 1762, The Revd [name] was famously irascible, steadfast in his routine, and dedicated his life to collecting 25,000 rare beetle specimens".

A major factor here is burnout, @mrjamesob.bsky.social. Doctors running on empty cannot function at their best. Burnout drains empathy, blunts attention, and details get missed. That’s just what burnout does. If we want system-wide improvements, 1/ @lbc.co.uk #lbc www.bbc.com/news/uk-engl...

Trump's claim that paracetamol causes autism has been debunked @mrjamesob.bsky.social In Sweden, they tested this on 2.5m births. At first the data showed a tiny bump in risk. But when they compared siblings (same genes, same home, only one exposed) the difference vanished. 1/ @lbc.co.uk #lbc

Why does Trump push this conspiracies? Because Conspiracy + anti-woke rhetoric binds his tribe together Conspiracy theories cast him as the lone truth-teller, pit “the people” against experts, and let him sneer at “woke autism acceptance.” @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk #lbc 1/

Gonna be honest. @mrjamesob.bsky.social allowing a caller to say "bullshit" on live radio without bleeping it in relation to Trump talking about paracetamol causing autism is something that needs to happen more often across all forms of media regarding a lot of the bullshit that is going on now.

Antonio Guturres 🇺🇳 The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is morally, legally & politically intolerable. The nightmare must stop. Today, I called on world leaders to do all they can to ensure the Two-State solution prevails, for the people of Israel, Palestine & all humanity.

Youtube scientists discovered that there is increased risk of Autism when pregnant from breathing air shared with Antifa and non whites.. Why not try MAGA-OxyAir. This stylish portable woke free air system can go anywhere. Church, gun range, WWE events and more. Available by monthly subscription.

I refer the honorable gentleman to my previous answer that the only thing you need to do to understand Trump is accept he is an arrogant and irresponsible moron.

"Researchers have developed a comprehensive tracking project documenting the systematic dismantling of democratic institutions in the United States under Trump’s emerging regime. On 9 September, Christina Pagel and Sandy Laping presented their Trump Action Tracker project..."

"Autism: First diagnosed in 1943. Tylenol: Not invented until 1955. RFK Jr.: Born 1954. Thus RFK Jr. is more likely to have caused autism than Tylenol."

The FDA statement ends with a paragraph undermining its own warning. They signal parents to avoid acetaminophen. Except sometimes. And then: No “causal relationship… established” with ADHD or autism AND Alternatives to acetaminophen have “well-documented adverse impacts.”

This executive order.

Mass arrests of pro-Russia agents across Moldova today. Pro-Eu President Maia Sandu came out fighting. Her statement: ⬇️

There should be a high bar for politicians attacking the media, but maybe Ed Davey has half a point here? For example, the first three paragraphs of this BBC story repeat Reform's £243bn figure without saying that the thinktank behind the estimate now disowns it. (This is mentioned in paragraph 35)

OLIVER: “In Russia, when Putin rose to power, TV satirists were among his first targets… Putin was driven to madness by how he was mocked on a puppet show… the lesson is it’s not safe to let one show slide because there are currently others.”

Our job is, in part, to make illiberalism unprofitable.

Free speech scholars say ABC's decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show indefinitely represents "jawboning," when government officials pressure private companies to suppress speech.

Big Tech's embrace of President Trump has left many of us wondering: What the hell happened to Silicon Valley? In our new politics issue, we're getting into it. Also, we're taking this cover across the US in billboards, posters and a mural. Clues to find us in the 🧵: www.wired.com/politics-iss...

‘What a lovely tribute that was…’ @mrjamesob.bsky.social reacts to Donald Trump saying he ‘hates his opponent’ at a memorial service for Charlie Kirk.

Putting all this together, @lgilbert.co find the following. It's not that Farage is (just) exaggerating/overstating - he is simply lying about migrants, jobs, wages and benefits. Media should be very clear about this. www.laurenpolicy.com/p/are-recent...

This may be unfair, but the Lib Dems remind me of the Church of England @mrjamesob.bsky.social Polite, well-meaning, respectable. But when it comes to conviction, they fade into the wallpaper. They embody 'compromise' so completely that I struggle to recall what they stand for. @lbc.co.uk #lbc

It’s the difference between littering and air pollution @mrjamesob.bsky.social We rage at the bloke dropping rubbish outside the factory, but not the factory choking the air. Ransomware is hidden, harder to picture, and so, easier to ignore. @lbc.co.uk #lbc

Ransomware looks, from the outside, like any other IT outage. And we've learned to tolerate those. The villains are faceless, the victims are institutions, not people. There’s no human drama to put on the evening news. 1/ @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk #lbc

Recognition of Palestine isn’t just symbolic fluff @mrjamesob.bsky.social it’s a promise. It means treating Palestine as a state. No more “territories” fudging. If you recognise sovereignty on Sunday, you can’t downgrade it on Monday. @lbc.co.uk #lbc

💯. Progressives have to stop franchising out their consciences to the courts. Politics is about moral choices. The problem with Reform's proposal isn't that "the courts won't allow it". It's that it's grotesque and inhuman. If we're democrats, we must believe that this argument can be won.

Fundamentally, Palestinian people have always been pawns. They've never really had agency in the political or diplomatic sphere. The casualties are so high because neither the Israelis nor Hamas really value their lives. Iran and the sounding Arab states mostly use them as leverage against Israel.

A celebration of journalists' outsourcing critical thinking to whatever presentation politicians serve up. It's NOT inevitable, Sam. You COULD apply some judgment, instead of pretending you are an infant looking at different things dangling from a mobile above your crib. Or is that too much work?

Hamas and Likud have complicated attitudes to the 2 State solution @mrjamesob.bsky.social Hamas rejects recognising Israel but says it would accept a Palestinian state on 1967 borders under a long truce. That means coexistence in practice, but never full legitimacy for Israel. 1/ @lbc.co.uk #lbc

Britain's recognition of Palestine is significant @mrjamesob.bsky.social Decades late, after 140+ other states, but still significant. The UK long hid behind the US “peace process” while settlements expanded through the West Bank and Gaza lived under permanent siege. 1/ @lbc.co.uk #lbc

I think anyone who follows law and policy closely knows there never has been a golden age.

Retrospectively removing indefinite leave to remain would be immoral and economically damaging. It would tear families apart. Attacking it as ‘potentially illegal’ is completely beside the point. Argue with the (awful) idea. Don’t try ’well, actually you can’t do that’.

And it is a simple abomination that the serious UK media would so lightly run the story of wanting to turn the country into a fascist state. Don't give such vile politics that ruined so many countries the benefit of serious discussion.

"They've said they'd do that" is crucial. The most important lesson of the last ten years is: when these people tell you who they are, believe them. Anyone saying "surely even Reform wouldn't go that far" just hasn't been paying attention.

The staggeringly obvious and basic point I made nearly a decade ago in *Cultural Dementia*.

And nigh on a third of the electorate do, right now. Because apparently REFUK remains a legitimate choice in their minds, regardless of what they actually say. Because the whole political-media complex is telling them they are.

Brexit, writes The Bear, was built on lies so big they should have ended careers. Instead, they launched speaking tours. That tells you everything about shame in politics today.

“I can confirm we are seeing single gunshot wounds to the head, neck, and chest.” “Just 2 days ago, we lost 6 children under the age of 12 to single shots to the head.” “This is worse than anything I have ever witnessed.” —American doctor Kathleen Gallagher speaking from Gaza

New: Sarah MacLachlan, Jewel, and more musicians scheduled to perform at tonight's premiere for Hulu's ABC News doc LILITH FAIR have all pulled out after Disney scrapped the red carpet. First notable talent consequence of the Jimmy Kimmel situation.

Kirk’s ‘memorial’ getting a live coverage on The Guardian is a great example of how the right gets automatically framed as the default political movement to be ‘understood’ while the victims of that same movement never will never get the same amount of coverage
