This event was 🔥 The cultural sector does alot of panels. But this one had smart, generous guests, an enthusiastic audience and a great chair in Brenda Emmanus. Reasons to be cheerful. 123. #television #museums

We're saddened to hear of the passing of Padmashri Guru Pratap Pawar MBE. 🖤 A remarkable Kathak artist and generous teacher, his legacy is a powerful reminder of the importance of passing on culture and tradition. It was a privilege to work with him on A Very British Rhythm in 2024.

He has genuine love for New Yorkers and NYC. All you need is love.

we are presenting our paper "Big AI's Regulatory Capture: Mapping Industry Interference and Government Complicity" shortly in Ballroom Centre. join us #FAccT2026 programs.sigchi.org/facct/2026/p...

Today I was discussing Executive Dysfunction with some folks, and how in our household we call it "The Sits" I decided to make an info poster. It's based on my personal experience with it. Yes, the person is me 😆 #neurodivergent #memes #executivedysfunction

In a black and white world we have no language for this latest massacre of Africans by Arabs so no one knows what to do or say. #Sudan #Tragedy

Here at Bath's refugee festival. Great vibes and a sobering reminder of my own privilege. If you're in #Bath do come by. www.bathrefugeefestival.co.uk

Anyone glued to the Makerfield by-election coverage today may be interested to know that #JohnCurtice appears at BRLSI on June 24th as part of our upcoming #DemocracyUnderThreat talks series. Online tickets still available. www.brlsi.org www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

While the mainstream discussions are depressingly about *how* best to remove and stop immigrants, it’s a revolutionary act nowadays to say that immigration is actually a positive thing and an essential component of a thriving country, so please join me in doing so!

Friends, we’re bringing together leading voices in British TV for a panel talk on representation, comedy, drama and authorship: Adjani Salmon, Nana Hughes, Phil Clarke, Nadine Marsh-Edwards, Farrukh Dhondy, and chaired by Brenda Emmanus OBE. ✨ 25 June 2026. LIMITED. FREE. LINK IN BIO.

The first of 3 panels. Let’s talk #TV

Expert: “If you take the deal, you’re going to be exploited. If you don’t take it, you’re going to die”. @fastlerner.bsky.social @annamaria.bsky.social for @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/trum...

I turned down a job at the Quaker Porridge warehouse - when asked why I said: “Hauling oats? I can’t go for that (no can do)”

Last image from tonight (short film in the morning): this brother out here with his Singer sewing machine, gifting people a custom embroidery on their jerseys and hats with the name and the date, was more artistic than anything at Burning Man and ad gorgeous as a Caravaggio. Magic! Goodnight.

WE SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED 🤬 The way the U.S. welcomed the team from Senegal 🇸🇳 vs. The way Mexico welcomed the team from Spain 🇪🇸 #WorldCup

We will probably end up extinct.

Bring it on! #TV 📺

Condemning riots isn't enough. We need policy action, including an immediate appraisal of X as a vehicle for coordinating far-right disorder. And we need political leadership, to challenge white nationalism as an idea, not to validate it daily and then complain when it turns violent.

Thanks @samfr.bsky.social This. 👇🏾 #racism 101 One of us does something we’re all responsible, a white person does something and they do it individually. The refusal to tackle those making it happen and stoking a #racewar is quite something to watch.

The day job. If you work in, are studying or watching television - there’s something for you. More to come. #television #screentime

Please buy more art. Commission artists. Support your local indies. Artists do deserve to be paid for their work. Poetry matters enough for poets to be paid properly.

world cup fever?

I love the #WorldCup But I will not watch a single match. #Shithole countries should not be allowed to host it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

After James Meredith was shot during his 220-mile "March Against Fear" civil rights marchers continued the journey to Memphis, Tennessee in solidarity with him.

This will be delightful! For anyone in or visiting #Bath see you there. @brlsi.bsky.social #Refuge

"Until the philosophy which holds one race superior & another inferior is finally & permanently discredited & abandoned..the dream of lasting peace & world citizenship & the rule of international morality will remain but a fleeting illusion, to be pursued but never attained." Haile Selassie UN 1963

I know we shouldn't respond to the trolling, but Vance implying that Sikhs are part of a "mass invasion of migrants", when they fought in tens of thousands for the British in two world wars and even THE INDIAN MUTINY is 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

What I don't think people understand about #racism is how heartbreaking it is. It is a sickness that will destroy us all if we don't heal. We must not mollycoddle naked hatred.

Both the unfortunate victim and his murderer were both British born, not migrants. One was white, one brown. The open racism of far right politicians on both sides of the Atlantic is a sickness we need to remove from society

The biohackers subreddit banned all posts about peptides and HRT because peptide companies were spamming + manipulating the sub in order to manipulate Google AI and ChatGPT answers. Very insidious industry that is drastically changing the internet www.404media.co/companies-ar...

This this this. We won't need DEI or #antiracism policies when we stop being a racist society. #racism out #equality in. Simples.

What does it mean when democratic societies begin to adopt the language, structures, and values of militarisation? Join Professor Paul Dixon for a discussion on The Militarisation of British Democracy https://www.brlsi.org/whatson/the-militarisation-of-british-democracy/

We need to put pressure on our politicians and media institutions to leave X. We need government to hold Musk to account too. It's really not pretty what is going on there and it's long past the point when it was OK to indulge it.

My god, Octavia Butler, just miss ONCE

As we face an unprecedented May heatwave, please remember that globally we haven't any idea how many are killed by extreme heat. The given estimates may be a small fraction of the real total. A huge and shocking data gap, which illustrates rich world indifference. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I have used #Fitbit for years due to sleep apnea. Subscription cancelled #Googlehealth is a data grabbing hot mess of a tracker with bad visuals and the built in assumption that we all want/need AI. Urgh it was the best #sleeptracker. Do I now need to wear the damn ring? It’s ugly.

BRLSI’s “Democracy Under Threat” series explores #democracy, AI, checks & balances, and #authoritarianism, with speakers including John Curtice, Wera Hobhouse MP & A.C. Grayling. Includes a 4 July conference in #Bath. https://www.brlsi.org/democracyunderthreat/

It is a moving piece. It highlights what I believe are two of the biggest challenges we face; the - me and mine are all that matter brigade - and #racism. Racism says, I will take some pain if I can hurt someone else and feel better than them. It is a sickness. #Ebola

Ebola Unlikely To Cause Anyone Any Harm, Say White People

it’s crazy to be listening to a well-produced podcast from a major studio and and have an ad cut in halfway through a host’s sentence why doesn’t anyone care about making things adequate anymore let alone good

Are autistic people, over the course of our lives, being stressed out, having issues like motor impairments or inertia worsened over time, or even being subtly injured—just because shoes & clothing aren’t made for us & the ways we move? @epballou.bsky.social: chavisory.wordpress.com/2026/05/17/m...

I love this #Parkrun blog. A much needed reminder about the important things. #community #health #bananas www.nuhorizons.uk/post/saturda...

do not. address it

Oh Musk is behind the times, we aren’t eating the rich anymore, our plan is to compost them.

Mamdani hat in wenigen Wochen das horrende Budgetdefizit in Ordnung gebracht. Und das ohne Kürzungen für die Mehrheit. Es ist eine Erinnerung, dass ein gutes Budget immer auch ein funktionierendes Gemeinwesen bedeuten muss. Es zeigt auch, dass man es wollen muss.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Truths clearly told. #StudentProtests #University #War #Greed

Haven't they suffered enough? www.nature.com/articles/d41...
