Tomorrow's episode of Bold Politics is so so rare in British politics: real people who are unafraid to just be themselves for an hour because they know they don't have to protect any vested interests. It's time for a clearout of robots in Westminster.

The Atlantic Magazine just dropped a tremendous story on the Minnesota Resistance. The author is a war correspondent & sees the echoes of leaderless community empowerment around the globe: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202... (supposed to be a gift link, might not work, it’s in Apple News, too.)

I've found this resource helpful. naomikritzer.com/2026/01/21/h...

For me, I've found donating to organizations and mutual aid groups or to people who just need some extra money to get by is a real sanity-saver in these times of feeling helpless but full of rage.

It's time to talk to you about my cat.

Renee Good had a pulse when EMS arrived. I’m not sure it would have made a difference if ICE had let that civilian physician render aid before EMS arrived, but now we will never know. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Trump does not need you to believe that Renee Nicole Good rammed an ICE agent with her car and sent him to the hospital What they want you to believe—what they NEED you to believe—is that if you don’t behave the way they want you to behave, they will fucking kill you

The same old sentence wrapped in different words: look what you made me do. You pushed me. You deserved it. This is your fault. It’s the logic of abuse, a kind of moral alchemy that turns cruelty into consequence and makes a woman responsible for her own pain. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Sir Paul Nurse is an impressive scientist but what the Royal Society needs is Dorothy Bishop to take the helm and clean the place out. Fellows who bring the Society into disrepute need tougher action than himpathy. www.theguardian.com/science/2026...

This is the accurate headline

How likely is ‘likely’? Does ‘likely’ have a higher probability than ‘probable’? I put together a quick quiz so you can see how you interpret probability phrases, then see how you compare with others: probability.kucharski.io

When this guidance is published (given legal standing), as it almost certainly will be, as a trans man I will not be allowed to use non-unisex public toilets. Which is almost every public toilet. Just want that to sink in, there. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is the #poem I read at end of my resignation - it will be in the follow up collection to Ice Cream for a Broken Tooth , most likely called Let The Quiet Ones Rise flapjackpress.co.uk/shop/ice-cre...

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Congratulations to all of the winners of the Bennett Prize in OpenPrescribing. You can read more on our LinkedIn and we will be sharing more on our blog over the coming days. www.linkedin.com/posts/bennet...

Irish Minister for Health calls the UK's descent into transphobia out for what it is.

" The late disability theorist Tobin Siebers called this the ‘masquerade’ of disability: the obligation to perform the disability, sometimes overperform it, so that it would be legible enough to secure the assistance that one genuinely needs. "

Submission: I did a thing. Reviewer: Too bad it’s not the thing I imagined while half-reading your abstract. Revision: What a coincidence, it is now.

I had a dream about my good old iPod last night. I bet it's still loaded with all my music from high school...which probably came from Limewire 🫠

There's a reason I've primarily joined MS Teams meetings from an incognito browser window wherever possible for the last 4 years. It's the only method I've found that doesn't include some form of disaster.

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven.
