NHS England absolutely failing in its duty of care.

In their refusal to convert some of the vast swathes of space for car owners into safe mobility lanes, the powers that be in Birmingham are actively preventing people from cycling. I mean, who's going to cycle here when the average short commute is like this....

I cannot stress enough that is some rando responds to something you reposted trying to draw you into a “but have you considered” discussion of it, they are not acting in good faith, and you just block. Please, embrace the blue sky way. block. block. block.

The US State Department wants to deny visas to anyone engaged in online activity like combatting misinformation, fact checking or compliance. They want state sanctioned media. They want propaganda Anyone who speaks the truth is at risk. Keep speaking out. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This is an abject failure of public health. And it's tearing society apart. Pandemics require collective action. "You do you" is not a viable or recognised public health strategy. It has created a vacuum populated with misinformation, disinformation, & eugenics. It never had to be this way.

Great visualization about how warming in the Arctic (like we're having right now) is leading to colder winters with more snowfall 👇

every time I go to the children's museum in Berlin that puts it front and center, I remember that the UN declaration on the rights of the child might be the most revolutionary document of our time.

I am begging us in media to stop mealy-mouthed avoidance of bias with phrases like "in a controversial move." When what we actually mean is "in a move antithetical to every scientific finding and medical recommendation." "A move that will cause both illness and death."

Fucking hell. #alt4me please

Someone who once worked for this guy told me he was at a party where everyone was in one way or another, economically dependent upon him. Under those circumstances you don't get much pushback for dumb statements. When they do encounter that pushback, they think its wokeness that must be destroyed.

Universities will keep sexual predators on the faculty because their "hands are tied by tenure." Turns out protesting genocide is all it takes to loosen those unshakable chains.

You can bet that by “most vulnerable” he means cishet white middle class women and girls — the ones who take the patriarchal bargain.

I don’t want to vote for a Democrat who promises to get Trump’s voters to vote for them. I want a Democrat who wants to put Trump in prison

Marwan Barghouti's lawyer Ben Marmarelli: there are reports that Barghouti was badly assaulted in prison, they "broke his ribs, teeth, fingers and cut part of his ear". Israeli Prison Service refused to comment or let the lawyer meet with him.

If you didn't happen to catch the white supremacist rhetoric in last week's letter from Palantir CEO Alex Karp to shareholders:

Thank you to our Chair @nigelrothband.bsky.social & Trustee @joda.bsky.social for attending @ukcovid-19inquiry.bsky.social on this important day. Even bigger thanks to our Member Mike Ormerod for all his work and all the effort it will take giving evidence this afternoon. 🙏 #LongCovid #CovidInquiry

@greenparty.org.uk is the one UK party in England and Wales that has policy on #Covid and #LongCovid and recognises the science of #transmission. We realise that more needs to be done. We're working on it.

Given the news about the likely death toll of the RSF's capture of al-Fasher, we're also getting inundated with another round of smug "where's the campus protests about Sudan?" From people who flood the comments sections of articles about Sudan to talk about Israel. So, I talked about Sudan.

This was about the same time the NHS was “treating“ trans and gay kids *as young as 8* with psychotropic drugs, psychological torture and ECT. Needless to say they were still gay &/ trans afterwards, just with deep, lifelong trauma. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is all-hands on deck. RFK Jr. wants to destroy vaccination in the US. COVID and HBV vaccination were the first step. These diseases WILL come back. And your personal vaccination status is important, but so is the coverage in your community. So up your game and fight. www.vox.com/2015/3/25/82...

This is not true. These are the figures for England and Wales (where the 1996 Treasure Act and subsequent amendments apply). It's a complete mess. #Archaeology 🏺 #Detecting #Treasure

Hey, you know how we make lots and lots of money of an unjust and unfair system? And those shafted by the system need medicine to tolerate it? I think we can make even *more* money by stopping them having that medicine! There are no concievable consequences to this plan!

Deadly violence on the French border is being funded by the UK taxpayer. Our leaders need to understand what's done in their name. Tell your MP to join @humansforrights.bsky.social in Parliament next week to learn the real impact of hostile border policies: fightforasylumrights.org/write-to-you...

Strongly considering assigning this next semester. It might be too difficult for undergrads though? Not really sure tbh

A few months ago I read that many datasets used to train these AI models are full of porn to ensure “women aren’t underrepresented in the dataset.” Once you know, you see it everywhere.

We should IMO look at Britain’s awesome array of disastrous, overlapping problems, and then look at how our political/media class has spent half a decade fighting furiously to impose their solution to the question “Where should people we despise be allowed to piss”, and draw some harsh conclusions.

When global temperatures shot up by ~6°C about 56 million years ago, plants were unable to thrive The reduced ability of vegetation & soils to capture & store carbon may have kept temperatures elevated for >100,000 years Today Earth is warming ~10 times faster than it did 56 million years ago

How to spot pieces written by AI.

Horrifying/funny/horrifying again to spot how many of these were definitely written by ChatGPT giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

some useful context for this talk of GPs this morning: a friend who works in healthcare told me that a significant proportion of GPs are angry they weren’t good enough to specialise in any particular topic, and that resentment/frustration ends up directed at their patients.

Did you think that just being stubborn would solve the problem? If you don’t bend like grass, you are going to break like a tree. Adapt. Clean the air. Accept well-fitted masks… teach kids.

Finally finished this last week and highly recommend! Such a carefully crafted timeline of the history of life in the air and the science that describes it. Loved the chapters on the Mills' and Lindberghs' contributions many decades ago. The fight for clean air is nothing new! @carlzimmer.com
