Hi @samaritanshope.bsky.social. Maybe have a chat with the GLP about its reporting of suicide. The language in this post seems difficult to reconcile with your guidance, particularly advice against speculating about a “trigger” or oversimplifying causes. www.samaritans.org/about-samari...

One of Reform UK’s main lines for dismissing the group that filmed them was that Verbatim founder Lawrence Carter had been “rebuked by members of Congress” over “substantially edited” videos. I did some snooping into what Congress actually found. 🧵 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I hate AI slop, I’m not a huge fan of rap, and I’m very much opposed to Iranian state propaganda. Which makes it rather odd that I’ve had an AI-generated Iranian state propaganda rap song stuck in my head for two days straight.

Early-2000s war games assumed Iran would adopt a low-tech and off-the-grid response to a US strike. My theory: today, some regime figures might be too addicted to TikTok to give up their very trackable smartphones — unthinkable in 2002. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millenn...

I rent a room in a Peabody-managed block near Oxford. The lift has been broken since mid-October, briefly fixed for a few hours, then failed again. Peabody now say it won’t be fixed before 5 Jan at the earliest. Housing folks: how would you advise me to escalate this properly or seek compensation?

It's very sad the Monkey Cage is ending. It was a great show in its heyday. Having said that, I'm incredibly sceptical of the claim that the BBC shit canned a contributor for anti trump and pro-trans comments. There's clearly more to this and I hope the BBC responds with an explanation.

This has taken up full-time residence in my brain since I saw it. In the 2018 Taron Egerton Robin Hood, he gets a literal “Draft Notice”… to fight in the Third Crusade. The filmmakers genuinely think it was called “the Third Crusade” at the time (and they had "Draft Notices").

This is a prime example of what I call the "Ken Loach effect." The working-class everyman in Loach's films is unambiguously left-wing and able to give a speech on Marxist ideology off the cuff. This is because the only working-class people Loach has ever met were at SWP rallies.

Are people not concerned that the obsessive focus on suicide, particularly when combined with anecdotal evidence and oversimplified causal links—as seen in comments and articles like this—skirts rather close to breaching the guidelines set out by organisations such as @samaritans.bsky.social?

As an aside, this must rank as one of the biggest campaigning misfires in all of history. A decade of “no platform”, ostracising, abuse etc to gender-critical feminists in the service of self-ID… has resulted in the law becoming *more* aligned with the GC position.

It's not just that "every accusation is a confession"; it's also that every accusation is a RATIONALIZATION. The lie that the other side is rigging elections rationalizes vote suppression. The lie that legitimate investigations are "weaponizing government" is the excuse to weaponize government.

Have written about Starmer's speech- his best moment yet as PM. He implicitly identified what sits at the heart of this story: the emergence of a common UK/US online right, headed by the radicalised Musk. It is making extremist, until recently fringe politics mainstream in British conservatism.

The reaction to Singal's presence on this platform has been a tad extreme. The only comparable response I've observed comes from discussions about religion, where there's often a conflation of criticising an ideology or belief system with attacking the individuals who adhere to it.
