Very much looking forward to Farage benefiting from hitting the cap on the number of times publications are allowed to mention him so that his dodgy financing can't be reported.

If you are worried about right or left wing variations of populism, and the consequences of post truth society, then you can’t go ripping out pillars of the reality based community without consequence. 2/2 Quote from @jonrauch.bsky.social The Constitution of Knowledge: A Defense of Truth.

Despite faults, journalism is a major truth seeking mechanism in open democratic societies. Neutering journalism in the fall out of a University standards scandal (meant to be truth seeking organisations), worsens the remaining mechanisms we have to protect free societies. 1/2

What a bleak view of the lives of others. It perhaps says more about the inner life of the writer than the wider world. When reading how anti-human movements like eugenics became normalised in the past, you wonder how people let it happen. But it can happen. www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-...

We spent 15+ years incentivising victimhood and sectarianism, and we are expressing surprise that the group who was never meant to use this tool is using this tool? A return to classic liberal values (as part of a shared identity) would be a good idea, but I worry we are too far gone now.

The UK has avoided the surgical inventions in these vulnerable children with gender dysphoria (who often have co-morbidities that are ignored - see Cass). The evidence for gender dysphoria resolving after puberty is far better than the benefits of medical interventions.

Worries about vaccination rates in dogs
As rabies seems to be spreading more in wildlife, veterinarians are especially worried about vaccine hesitancy spreading among pet owners, a dangerous trend that could lead to more dogs — and their owners — becoming infected. A 2023 study published in the journal Vaccine found in a nationally representative sample of Americans that nearly 40% believed canine vaccines were unsafe and 37% believed that vaccines could lead their dogs to develop cognitive issues, such as autism.

You've written this, so you have already made it an issue. The principle is, antisemitism is wrong. Who is doing it is, who might exploit it for political reasons, are irrelevant. Stick to the principle on your terms. Although easy to say given you will no doubt be subject to social ostracism.
