I am so dismayed a the statement today from the President of the @royalsociety.org that I want to publish here the letter I wrote to him yesterday urging him to address the clear concerns of the UK scientific community.

You can be an explicitly racist, far right agitator and that's acceptable for the Royal Society. Wonder how many Fellows are happy in such company. Most I would imagine. Another western institution full of weak, cowardly people.

I'm guessing AirPods 3 are slightly better than sticking a live fish in your ear canal.

Farage said today he would said women refugees back to the Taliban.

Yes, yes, yes. This is coming. It caught voters in the US by surprise. The same will happen in the UK. Once we dismantle institutions base decisions on evidence and reason, we lock in a culture of authority, ideology and oppression. History shows this lasts generations, or until society collapses.

Reform is going to attract every conspiracy theorist nut-job, crank and quack, racist, pub bore and crook.

Greens. Cranks from top to bottom now. The reformers have lost to a guy who thinks he can make breasts get bigger through the power of his mind. If you lose to that you have to conclude you were in the wrong party.

While the Trump administration is destroying Evidence Based Medicine from the top down, the "left" are keen to destroy it from the bottom up. jessesingal.substack.com/p/the-disast...

Palestine Action is above all incredibly tedious and indulgent. The time and money of everybody protesting would demonstrably be much better spent on donations to non proscribed charities and aid organisations dedicated to helping Gazans. Victims of war crimes an adornment for their public display.

Mr Hypnotits says what now?

Has that horse no situational awareness?

Once again, England snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Good grief. Ian Dunt is showing spectacular ignorance of the roles of Parliament, the Supreme Court and the nature of the recent ruling on the Quality Act. Yet, he writes so confidently. iandunt.substack.com/p/the-trans-...

There's barking... and then there's co-authoring a paper with your own 'alternative identity'.

One hallmark of pseudoscience is when its claims are completely divorced from the broader scientific literature.

Bluesky is not a bubble, but a containment dome for furious progressives who like to sue rabbit charities. www.thetimes.com/article/8ca5...

Time for bed. Tonight's closing music video comes from Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek - with "Cool Hand". Enjoy. youtu.be/r5fIYQ0GDPA?...

You have had this question now fully addressed. You are ideologically refusing to accept an answer because it is important for you for some reason to think males and females do not exist. You are a crank.

Oooof. There is no coming back from this.

Gaby Hinsliff and the Guardian call for Parliament to dismantle women's rights and protections.

Thing is, it feels on Bluesky like EVERYONE knows about this Unbound scandal now. But they don't. In the grand scheme of things - the grand scheme of UK book lovers, even - what this publisher has done to its authors is still relatively little-known. Coverage like this is an important step.

The Guardian is just as bad at misinformation and outright garbage as the Mail.

“238 authors and agents were collectively owed £657,000 by the failed business.” I try not to think about the insane amount this company owes me & focus on the fact that I'm making a new start. But also... 7 books. 7 years of work. All that funding. It's shocking. www.printweek.com/content/news...

I have been picked by a tech billionaire to see if this AI will pass the Turing test. I hope it works out well.

We're still gonna do it.

What is the difference between biology students and gender studies students? When the biology lecturer says "Good morning", the biology students reply "Good morning" back. When the gender studies lecturer says "Good morning", the gender studies students write it down.

it's not quite fortnite though, is it?

This is a goldmine of nonsense. On why Western Civilisation is rubbish... "Aboriginals did not need penicillin as they had none of the diseases..." www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgO2...

No the stuff on pylons, panels and batteries is pure conspiracism and requires climate denialism as a starting point. Don't assume there are reasonable concerns here. It's cranks and charlatans.
