Bethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly

The really distressing part of this —speaking as someone treated continually on the NHS for ADHD for over twenty-six years — is how much NHS care for ADHD has actively declined in the last decade. With the explosion of diagnoses, I’ve seen NHS generalist mH teams refuse to care for ADHD patients

i do think part of the reason a lot of american politics is Like That is that they are a phenomenally incurious society. and that in turn emerges from the nature of suburbia, and a fortress mindset. that's also why their cars are Like That and why they still have 1950s opinions on British food

The pivot from "identity politics is bad, we shouldn't be putting people into boxes" to "except for trans people, who don't exist and need to get back into their assigned box" genuinely gives you an insight into how she thinks.(1/2)

What on earth is happening?

This had become the new normal. RNLI crew members had been forced to take their permits off their cars after their tyres have been repeatedly slashed. Most of them have been pilloried at the school gates or turned away from local pubs. One man who worked in search and rescue had been beaten unconscious and hospitalised, recognised for TV interviews he had done.

One thing that's noticeable in BBC news output over the last few years isn't necessarily a decline in the quality of the basic journalism, but increasingly sloppy editing. (You can see it at a more basic level - typos getting through that would previously have been picked up, mislabelled maps etc.)

Without for a second wishing to excuse people voting for Reform - let alone standing for election - this is why the mainstreaming of the far right by the BBC and other media really matters: it’s led to the absurd position where an actual Senedd member doesn’t appear to know what sort of party it is

It’s amazing (extremely negative) how U.S. diplomacy is focused on getting the aggressor a win, trying to find some way to secure gains for Russia that the Russian military has failed — for over 4.5 years and counting! — to achieve on the battlefield. What an awful, consequential, damaging change.

Can't stop thinking about how younger generations seem to create new history for eras they weren't adults for and lack the proper context for. Blogs were quite popular, podcasts were a niche interest, and wiki has always been a useful tool that you still can't directly cite as a source.

"Slop" implies that something has been hastily made, or rather that it's created haphazardly by an over reliance on AI. These three examples are proof of the opposite, that people used to make things themselves, sometimes imperfectly, and that AI has deemed those skills gatekeepers.
