The Green Party of England and Wales supports Scottish independence.

Did you notice how quickly the debate moved from “it’s not about you, you came here legally and integrated, it’s illegal immigration” to “people with indefinite leave to remain should have their status retrospectively removed” The more we legitimise anti-migration narratives, the worse it’ll get.

a new mRNA therapy apparently can cut the rate of Huntington's disease progression by ~75%. yet more miracle shit www.bbc.com/news/article...

This remarkable therapy uses an approach the Trump administration just cancelled funding for.

“An emotional research team became tearful as they described how data shows the disease was slowed by 75% in patients.” What an absolutely incredible, joyous achievement for everyone involved. Hurrah for science and scientists! www.bbc.com/news/article...

If Patrick Vallance isn't being lined up to go on every news programme they can find today, then that's absolute dereliction of duty.

This is huge: “A drug that provides near-perfect protection against H.I.V. with shots just twice a year will be made available at $40 per patient annually in low- and middle-income countries, offering new hope… making lenacapavir a realistic choice in countries with constrained resources.”

WHO statement on autism-related issues The World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes that there is currently no conclusive scientific evidence confirming a possible link between #autism and use of acetaminophen (also known as paracetamol) during pregnancy Full statement bit.ly/47YsgwI

It's alarming how many people need to hear this: racism is not the natural and inevitable response to the presence of (the wrong number of) racialised Others. It is a learned response, and as such it is contestable and replaceable. This is anti-racism 101. Entry level stuff.

what year is this

I do look forward to him really trying to take on the House of Mouse in court. They will eviscerate his sycophantic legal “minds”, as I would call them if they didn’t present so much evidence that mind is false advertising

It's not super deep - he's a kid, he got buzzing about scoring and that's all it is, not crazy deep

Autism is a natural divergence from neurotypicality. It's normal & not the tragedy these clowns are making it out to be. Transness is a natural divergence from cisnormativity. It's normal & not the tragedy these clowns are making it out to be. Just deal with people being different than you.

BTW Chelsea - Chisea isn't up there with Arne's plans, but he's a lad in our club and isn't exiled. And when we need him to be there he shows the hell up. I think there should be a massive campaign against "bomb squads"

If Isak can get one then so can he!! #LFC

I can't even be angry at Hugo. He ran on emotion. It happens. It's how it is #LFC #LIVSOU

I'm not involving myself in how we suck for the moment. BUT, I find this Southampton shirt to be quite banging. One of those that would be on a shirt collectors list

Mentioning to Crawford that the cat is being a dick, and then realising oh that's just their job

calling autism a “tragedy” and saying that there should be fewer autistic people are eugenicist talking points. Everyone who opposes such views also needs to recognize the ways in which everyday ableism left the door wide open for a person like RFK Jr.

Starmer thinks his lack of political ideology is a virtue, despite it blinding him to simple reforms like PR. Once again: Starmer is the wrong man at the wrong time.

Just watch Starmer make the same mistake.

Considering there was a press conference where he told us to inject ourselves with bleach, this is saying something.

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

The insidious “obvious now” factor is that all this dialog of vaccine and Tylenol causing autism is that it’s normalizing and setting the tone of “neurodivergence is an unforgivable sin and we must not let them exist” We are not a sin. We deserve to exist. We deserve love.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

What on Earth is this? An "in depth" BBC article about free speech in the UK that only cites examples of right-wing/ 'anti-woke' speech being suppressed. How can you mention Lucy Connolly but completely ignore Palestine Action / Just Stop Oil? Gob-smacking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Realizing that the endpoint here is probably massively scaling back screening for autism spectrum disorders, limiting resources for people who need them, but leading to a decline in cases & declaration of victory. "If we stopped testing right now, we'd have very few cases, if any."

RFK Jr and Trump are using the brand name Tylenol specifically to SUE THE MAKER for profit. He has won baseless claims cases before, ex against Merck/Guaracil. It can be meritless, as long as it goes to trial and a jury believes it. We saw this with Merck and we saw it with Bayer (Roundup).

Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski addressed Russia at the UN Security Council meeting:

A very, very stupid man.

“I know, let’s pick on the people who do the grunt work behind every high tech and creative industry out there. Great idea!”

I'm not doing a bit here, I sincerely wonder if he got the "Amish people don't have autism" from this incredibly scientific Theo Von interview with an Amish guy from a couple of weeks ago.

It's fucking horrible. You have to explain to people why you''re the way you are, and they're just out there on TV saying "they're a problem, we need rid of them"

BREAKING: President Trump promotes unproven ties between Tylenol, vaccines and autism without new evidence.

This is the most anti-science thing I have watched today. What is most shocking about this is all of these statements are being made without any scientific evidence to back it up. There are very few safe options to treat pain and fever in pregnancy so this is also an attack on women's health.

I wish I got this fanfare when I outed myself 💔

The BBC is letting the British Public down. He is going on that babies are getting vaccines "like they give to a horse" our national broadcaster doesn't lead with this utter nonsensical point!? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Maybe it’s just that I saw Cabaret yesterday, but one part of this really resonates - the aesthetics of fascism always coalesce and become omnipresent before the political machine, because they want you to feel like they’ve already won and stop fighting

Looking at RFK's recent moves, including an attack on the hepatitis B vaccine and on painkillers for pregnant women. The common theme: That all children's health problems are due to "bad" mothers. This isn't about making kids healthy. It's misogyny. www.salon.com/2025/09/22/r...

This week, it's @bachynski.bsky.social's turn to teach about rabies and I'm so intrigued by this article about how vampire bats’ mutual grooming habits help spread a rabies vaccine, but I also LOL'd at this sentence. www.science.org/content/arti...
