Where did this idiotic idea that the Anglo-Saxons were pagan right up to the Conquest come from? Or, for that matter, that the Normans conquered “Britain.”

"Far-right politics thrives on incoherent exceptionalism which it demands and creates." Exactly so. That's why complaints about hypocrisy have zero effect or even meaning in this context. Applies equally to MAGA in the US and Hansonism in Australia. They just don't care.

Well this seems interesting and unsurprising archive.ph/vB0BP

Then there is the claim that ADHD is a social construct, not a neurodevelopmental condition. This is something Pemberton concludes after talking to neuroscientist Katya Rubia at King’s College London. Rubia says that while there is evidence of differences between the brains of people with ADHD and neurotypical people at the group level, it isn’t possible to diagnose ADHD from a brain scan.
She is right, of course. You can’t diagnose ADHD from brain scans. The same can be said for most, if not all, psychiatric and neurodevelopmental conditions. Most of these, like ADHD, are diagnosed by assessing symptoms and the effect they have on a person’s everyday ability to function. “My interview was hours long and they cherry-picked the bits that suited their push for presenting ADHD as a myth,” Rubia told New Scientist. “Biased programs like this one that push their view of ADHD as a mythical entity are irresponsible and will have detrimental effects.”

Fun (not fun) fact: when the coalition government was changing the student loan system, Vince Cable said the aim of the Plan 2 changes would result in the state funding 40 per cent of a degree, with 60 per cent coming from the individual, which he thought was a fair balance...

I would like to see more companies admit this - being a public company no longer means running a successful, thriving business. It strictly means delivering growth to investors, every single quarter, who do not care at all about the product the company sells or the people who produce it.
