The problem of social care is largely one of a missing insurance market. The obvious solution is to pay for care via general taxes, treating these as if they were insurance premia. Cutting benefits or the triple lock are bad alternatives.

How can residents trust the promises of an organisation that so wilfully reneges on pension commitments it has made? Residents and workers shouldn't pay the price of successive leadership's mismanagement. The @rshengland.bsky.social must step up and take responsibility for what is happening.

Very disappointed to see that, despite being named and shamed in parliament in a discussion on companies taking advantage of 'fire and rehire' ahead of the practice being outlawed in January, Eastend Homes are still threatening their workers with it.

Obviously having your game erroneously banned for daring to suggest that adults sometimes have sex is an absolute nightmare. Particularly the week before launch! But...I have to admit that playing a vampire in a game deemed "too sexy for Steam" might be the coolest I've ever been.

it seems clear Aaron Bastani/Novara Media jumped on the Jason Arday bandwagon as a cynical ploy to pull in a conservative audience using an "acceptable target", and attempts to justify it after his suicide make the whole org completely untrustworthy.

Novara Media videos on Jason Arday:

Media Under Scrutiny Following Tragic Death Of Jason Arday
Cambridge Unleashed Racism By Hiring Jason Arday

Aaron Bastani:

"Watch this presentation by Jason Arday at UCL. He says nothing for over 40 minutes. It's genuinely impressive to talk for so long and say nothing.

This isn't someone who was over-promoted - you can still be smart and have that happen. This is a conman."

"Michael Walker on Novara Media starts the crucial self-reflection over the public lynching of Jason Arday by the racist media by saying:

'much of the reporting was legitimate and the personal targeting of young journalists is unpleasant and unfair.'

Yes, you heard that right."

I love this, by Pete Wharmby, who gives an analogy that may help us understand Uta Frith's apparent argument that it's not autism if it's not 'severe', because we only identified the 'severe' people a long time ago when she first trained. Therefore that's autism and nothing else is. 🤔

An illustration by Pete Wharmby.
In one corner, some chips ('fries') and in the other, a piece of cheese.

"Imagine that when we first found out about cheese, it was a big plate of chips. A doctor comes along and says, oooh look, these chips have something on them. I'll call it cheese.
Then someone sees some cheese on its own, or in a sandwich, or a lovely jacket potato. They say ooh, look, here's some cheese too.
The doctor is unconvinced. No, they say. This is not cheese, for it is not on any chips. This must be something else, and it has no similarity to the cheese on the cheesy chips over here.
Cheese keeps being found all over the place, but no, the doctor says. None of this is cheese...you are broadening the concept of cheese too far, it will be meaningless.

This is a metaphor for Uta Frith's argument"
