In our conservative estimate, 41 percent of Grok’s images — or 1.8 million — were sexualized depictions of women. Separately, CCDH analyzed how many were sexualized images across genders and ages. Their findings: an estimated 3 million images, including more than 23,000 of children.

Yesterday we talked about how cervical screening is a really important tool in helping us to eliminate cervical cancer. Today we'd like to share a few tips about how to make your cervical screening experience as comfortable for you as possible...

"Chicken pox changed our lives. If I'd known we'd have got the vaccine" As a new chicken pox vaccine is rolled out, I spoke to two families devastated by severe pox related complications for @thetimes.com parenting section: www.thetimes.com/article/9119...

"You can’t reform a concentration camp regime. You have to dismantle it and replace it. We have a thousand ways to do it. And most U.S. citizens - particularly white ones - have the freedom to act, for now, with far less risk than the many people currently targeted."

Politics isn't working. It's time to call time on the broken culture in Westminster and have a fresh start with a fair voting system. Add your name to @electoralreform.bsky.social's call to #MakeSeatsMatchVotes 👇 action.electoral-reform.org.uk/page/3782/pe...

“The truth always lies somewhere in the middle” has to be one of my least favorite phrases. Sometimes, one side is actually truthful and one side is actually malicious and lying!

I catch myself singing this at least once a week. youtu.be/jDf1ksSbSd4?...

This week is #CervicalCancerPreventionWeek and it's a perfect time to remember that cervical cancer can be almost entirely prevented thanks to screening and vaccination programmes 💙 If you can, get the HPV vaccine, let your kids get the HPV vaccine, and attend your cervical screening (smear test).

It speaks to how broken MPs' media diet is that all parties didn't collectively go "pedophilia bad" at the first possible opportunity here

"The fact that Grok can be used to defile images of women & children is not an accident... but the direct consequence of decision-making and ideology. Musk has transformed X into a place that reflects the world as he'd like it to be." @aloner.bsky.social www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/techno...

Wow, The Telegraph and Farage are really coming out to bat for... drink-driving 😶 I'd argue that, if your business model relies on people driving tipsy around country roads... it's not a good model. archive.ph/uVJdY

Ukip have submitted a new logo and slogan to the Electoral Commission, swapping the £ pound sterling symbol for a cross, that looks very much like it is modelled on the Iron Cross used by Prussia & Germany 1871-1918 and Hitler's Nazi regime from 1933-45

"X is drifting towards irrelevance, becoming a containment pen for jumped-up fascists. Ministers cannot be making policy announcements in a space that hosts AI-generated near-naked pictures of young girls. Journalists cannot share their work in a place that systematically promotes white supremacy."

anyone in the Whitehall press corps gonna ask if it's appropriate for the govt to keep posting on a site that's under investigation by Ofcom for publishing child sexual abuse materials?

Sign my Petition to Ban X and Grok in the UK 🇬🇧 Enough is enough! We must draw a line at CSAM!

Alternative headline: humiliating and abusing women on X by digitally undressing them is now a privilege reserved to paying users.

I'm so delighted that I complied with the Online Safety Act, blocking an accessibility feature on my site from UK users to 'protect the children' while Elon Musk's site can just generate CSAM with total impunity.

The Road Safety Strategy plans to cut the drink-drive limit in England and Wales - including a zero-tolerance limit for new drivers - are a major step forward for road safety. Our Chief Executive, Dr Katherine Severi, responds:

If the Palestine Action hunger strikers die - which they could do at any moment, as they are now very close to the end - it will be the government that killed them. Today’s column explains why. Please share, and write urgently to your MP. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It's now unconscionable for the government to be posting on X. X is not a neutral utility, it is far, far darker: an environment that shapes behaviour, rewards cruelty, and normalises abuse. @theleaduk.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/theleadu...

This is really bad; Grok is now going into is third day of regularly producing nonconsensual deepfake pornography and nobody is doing anything about it. The "Mechahitler" and "white genocide" episodes were stopped much more quickly. I suppose this tells us all about relative priorities.

“Car bloat”—increasingly oversized automobiles—worsens road safety, affordability and the environment. Here are some of the stories I wrote in 2025 examining the trend and proposing solutions. 🧵 In @vox.com, I likened car bloat to secondhand smoke (which helped bring down the US tobacco industry).

"But no response can undo the human cost of deliberate political choices. In the shadow of #InternationalMigrantsDay, we condemn Europe’s inhumane border policies behind yet another tragedy. This is a moral failure in plain sight." -- Emmanuelle Brique, Project Coordinator
