Sounds as if Fonagy report really understands what is going on. Good coverage by @jackielong.bsky.social and team. Some very moving accounts. #c4news Will government deliver?

What I think is interesting is that absolutely no one thought I was being serious.

Amazing how many used to watch those appalling executions. Presumably they would now as well. Horribly revealing about them. #c4news

Yes, I think the whole world (almost) are hoping that. It is used here as well and of course with all the coverage of US politics we've heard for decades about lame duck presidents (in France and other countries as well).

Netanyahu's moral compass has always been so strong and evident, of course. #c4news

Word of the day: Sealioning I have encountered this phenomenon very often, especially with anti-vaxxers. It has a concrete definition. This describes science deniers who appear to be genuinely curious about a topic but won’t accept any evidence that goes against their narrative. 🧪

Sealioning
A subtle form of trolling involving "bad-faith" questions.
You disingenuously frame your conversation as a sincere request to be enlightened, placing the burden of educating you entirely on the other party. If your bait is successful, the other party may engage, painstakingly laying out their logic and evidence in the false hope of helping someone learn. In fact you are attempting to harass or waste the time of the other party, and have no intention of truly entertaining their point of view. Instead, you react to each piece of information by misinterpreting it or requesting further clarification, ad nauseum. The name "sea-lioning" comes from a Wondermark comi
L
strip.

When a classics master in a film greets his class with 'Salve' and something stirs and Google confirms that those years of Latin weren't wasted and it should indeed have been 'Salvete'.

Good question. Overall population in east Atlantic has increased because of internationally agreed protection. Increase in water temperature has added to more numbers in UK waters. #c4news (According to Google.)

I am interested but I'm a bit bored by extent of reports and really bored by the actual psychodrama taking place.

Kemi Badenoch wants to exempt the family home from inheritance tax. But that creates a perverse incentive for elderly people to *upsize* to save IHT. That could double the cost of the policy, and push £100bn+ from savings into housing. A 🧵 on bad tax cuts.

The most high profile search of their careers and they mess it up. #c4news Can't help wondering how many people without the high-level legal advice have been subjected to unlawful action by the police.
