Why Arturo Béjar left Meta – and blew the whistle: ‘I don’t recall Mark ever being empathetic’
Béjar’s daughter was 14 when she told him Instagram was failing to keep her safe. So when he became part of Meta’s ‘wellbeing team’, he knew he had to speak out – and his testimony cost it billions

A short while ago my local Labour MP said he was pushing for and making the case for electric bikes to be classed as dangerous products. Yet they kill and seriously injure less people than these unsafe (over powered, over weight, over sized) trucks. Silence or leadership?

Psychotruck driver kills again. 😢 Ford Ranger is an unsafe vehicle that should require special licence to use. Users of sensible vehicles pay the price with their children’s lives. Actual dangerous product. I’m now waiting for our MPs to demand such classification? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Visibly trans people have always been subject to discrimination, violence and harrassment. Even just as a gender non conforming child I can't tell you how many times I had spit in my face or chase me down a street, when I was as young as 12/13

You probably think this is a touch of hyperbole. If you do, that just tells me not only are you not paying attention, you are actively ignoring all the trans people this has happened to. This is life in the UK as a trans person in 2026.

Fascinating how much subsidy Badenoch gets in the “marketplace of ideas”. True neoliberals would surely let her fail like any bad startup. But sensing Farage is sinking, people like Elsom reach for anything to blow, as if conservatism were an inflatable raft attached to the nearest regressive cock.

I notice that everything the press doesn’t like is “social contagion” now, except for the escalating crankery of the press, which is an organisation of a couple of thousand people mostly concentrated in one city, who largely all know each other - one thing that definitely *is* social contagion.

Alex is far from the only British commentator who plainly believes e.g. the destruction of the Gaza Strip and the ethnic cleansing of southern Lebanon are a valiant battle by regrettably fascist white heroes against the black horde of Mordor.
