Misinformation of yesteryear...

One of the main ways that the US was traditionally covered in the UK was the "only in America" story - tales which played to the British sense it was a bizarre place where mad people did mad things. The Express had a daily column of such stories. Maybe we should just go back to that framing.

Today far-right anti-immigration rioters in The Hague assaulted a press photographer, attacked police, tried to storm the under-renovation Binnenhof and smashed the liberal D66 party office windows…. nos.nl/liveblog/258...

We've made so much progress!

The article says he will be "building an international coalition of centre-left leaders who can find ways to tackle the rise of right-wing populism, as well as forming a united front on issues such as Ukraine and Gaza" he should have been doing this from the start not making friends with Big Tech!

I'm not the first to notice the reinvention of @wired.com from mouthpiece of tech ideology to showing everyone else how to do journalism today, but this cover is something else. The inclusion of their own hagiographic covers in the back is a nod to that shift, which is beautiful. Also…

FINALLY!!! After a year of stoking fears of immigration and reinforcing policy themes that support Reform... Starmer "sets out plan to counter Nigel Farage and Reform" in order to "calm concerns among MPs and party members" www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

When are companies going to learn that people don't want this shit?

Has anyone done a listing of how to disable the various AI tools we’re now forced to have with different types of software?

One day in the very near future the business community are going to have to start taking disinformation risks seriously before it impacts their product.

Politicians do a fantastic job of alarming us about non-problems, a terrible job of focusing us on real problems and an even worse job of telling us when real issues have actually improved it seems.

Use only water or fresh air on tear gas or pepper spray. No milk, vinegar, antacids, urine, etc. and especially not in eye. Thank me later, An actual expert

Yikes. The American Prosperity Alliance, PragerU, and Newsmax are blowing away everyone else.

Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley joins the ranks of conservatives criticizing the Pentagon's new press policy. "There is no precedent for what they're doing here," he said. "This measure is simply a bridge too far... would devastate the press corps." www.foxnews.com/video/637995...

The title of this post from @riana.bsky.social says it all. This is a blazing big deal for the 4th Amendment. Then again, it's a blazing big deal for like ten other reasons. Mostly because lets the FTC decide if platforms enforced their speech rules correctly. www.techdirt.com/2025/09/18/t...

And it amazes me that she's so gentle / yuck-avoidant that she can catch a fly and spit it out still not actually killing the fly. This is also a dog that avoids puddles. She trots around the mud.

Tozi just paused chewing on her bone to snap at a passing fly, caught it expertly, then spat it out because yuck. It moved, she killed it gently with her teeth taking care to not let the yucky thing in her mouth then went back to her bone.

This is so dangerous. This is a country that had a major opioid epidemic. Making people distrust a safe commonly used pain killer is a horribly negligent and irresponsible act.

If you haven't seen the Last Week Tonight with John Oliver from 2 weeks ago on Higher Education I highly recommend it. 😆

How does John Oliver speak so fast? I wonder sometimes if I have YouTube on x2 speed. If I spoke like that in class my students would get repetitive strain injuries from their note taking. If they took notes.

I went to the pharmacy today and saw these and wondered how long they're going to be there.

If the First Amendment were fully functional he would never have been taken off air.

Disney says Jimmy Kimmel Live! will return to the air on Tuesday

"As the last generation to come of age at a time when both neurodivergence and menopause were considered shameful secrets, Gen X includes a lot of women who arrive at middle age feeling like their brains are broken and not knowing why."

Labeling an entire class of people extremists based on one shooting would be bad enough - but the shooter wasn't trans. The only trans person involved in this was surprised and horrified by what happened and began cooperating immediately with police

If you all need excellent FOIA counsel, look no further than @mvtopic.bsky.social & his team @loevy.com in Chicago. The Mueller Report. The Laquan McDonald murder video. Gobs of FBI records for us @cato.org Seriously, if you haven't talked to Matt, you should.

404 Media is suing ICE

I met Dr. David Ho! He’s responsible for the fact that HIV is no longer a death sentence and his work has saved tens of millions of lives. Why he doesn’t have a Nobel Prize is beyond me. AMA.

Linehan was co-writer on Father Ted with Arthur Matthews. All his early successes were when he wrote with others. Once he started doing stuff on his own, they flopped. And it was easier to get angry at the world rather than acknowledge his own failings.

Reform hold a press conference every Monday, for which they trail a policy announcement in that morning’s papers. Given Monday is a slow news day, that often means they lead the papers – and so the breakfast shows, and so they set the agenda for the week. It’s a good trick, but easy to counter!

He simply doesn't want to admit that he was at his funniest when he was constrained by the need to appeal broadly when working with mainstream media outlets like Channel 4.

and actions. It's not actually punching down in the way some shows did in the 1970's for example. That is a long way from what Linehan is trying to justify which is verbal abuse online. The BBC simply put a trigger warning on his show as some people could be offended, big deal.

Look, I am a big supporter of free speech generally, I do think it should be possible to be a bit insulting with humour, it's a way we interrogate who we are. I think Linehan is stretching this too far though - the comedy in Father Ted MOCKS Ted and the priests for their inappropriate views

Palestinian statehood is now formally recognized by around 75% of U.N. member countries, but that recognition remains largely symbolic.

It's not true or even scientific consensus does not support this would have done #BBC! You make the majority of doctors sound like 'vaccine sceptics'! Trump will reportedly link autism to pain reliever Tylenol - but many experts are sceptical www.bbc.com/news/article...

But what if we do child labor *with AI*?

So we always used 'cwpi down' in my family when I was growing up - in Somerset. But my parents were from South Wales, so I always thought of it as Welsh in origin.

It's a lovely phrase and I intend to keep using it and try and bring it back 😆 it's most likely my family kept it from our origins in South Wales, although I grew up in England.

I grew up saying 'coopy down' for crouch. I got teased at school, told it wasn't a real word by the teacher. The internet wasn't helpful until now to find origins. But it's not just MY family. It's local dialect from Bristol (where oddly my family never lived). www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol...

Elon and his chums will be able to drink tea in space once they destroy the planet.

The @washingtonpost.com story on Tylenol & autism leaves out a MAJOR 2.5M sibling-controlled study of children in Denmark, which "found no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy was associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

an especially pertinent question as boarding/seizing is what the coast guard typically does in this scenario
