My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Today in 180AD Commodus succeeded his father, Marcus Aurlieus as Roman Emperor. He would go berserk, naming the city, months & legions after himself. One contemporary wrote that he turned Rome "from a kingdom of gold to one of iron and rust".

A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.

An ancient and magical amber bear. Carved some 10,000 years ago, it washed up on a beach at Fanø in Denmark from a submerged Mesolithic settlement under the North Sea. ✨Merry Christmas everyone✨ National Museum of Denmark 📷 by me #Archaeology
Figurine of an amber bear carved some 10,000 years ago during the Mesolithic period. The bear is seen in profile facing right. The legs are incomplete. The ears, muzzle and mouth are depicted. The figurine is displayed on a small metal stand. The display lighting shining on the bear’s head and neck enhances the translucence of the  orange coloured amber

A reminder that 'school choice' is not a real thing, especially for families in rural areas. No we can't 'go somewhere else' if we don't like it. That's why inclusion has to mean trying our best to support everyone. "The child is not for the school; the school is for the child."

I've got a theory about why some people feel #bluesky is an echo chamber. I think it's partly about being used to triggering engagement through outrage and that not really being a thing here. But also it's about viewing social media as combat rather than interactions based on your interests. 😊

‘Don’t man up…. Instead ‘…talk, cry, scream’ This is so important & very poignant from @mscaitlinmoran.bsky.social on men taking their ow lives
Caitlin Moran’s column in Yesterday’s Times is about young men taking their own lived and why. And how men shld be encouraged to speak out, ‘to talk, to cry, to scream’ rather than to ‘man up’

We know so much about how the brain learns, regulates emotions, and adapts - yet so little of this is fully used in schools. It’s time to bridge the gap between neuroscience and education to create environments where every child can thrive. #NeuroscienceInEducation

This is some fascinating data from 2023 regarding the question of whether the rise in trans identity is being driven by peer pressure. Even among evangelicals only 57% believe that it's completely/somewhat driven by social influence. In every other religious group, it's below 50%.

Some have said the assisted dying debate has been "parliament at its best". I'm not so sure. Instead I think religion has quietly played a dominant role in the debate, distorted the conversation, with few believing MPs being straightforward about why. My piece for the i. inews.co.uk/opinion/mps-...
inews.co.uk
MPs are being dishonest about why they oppose assisted dying
For many, religious belief plays a part - and MPs should make clear when that is the case

I think that one of the reasons the right are so desperate to blame sexual violence on minorities is that the real source is usually within the community or within the family. The social structures they venerate and draw power from all fall apart when you acknowledge this

Over four decades in the NHS, I’ve looked after a lot of people who are dying, both in hospitals and at home or in care settings. Please can I reassure everyone that the vast majority of these deaths have been peaceful & not scary? If symptoms are difficult, specialist palliative care is helpful.

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up. If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

As much as I don’t want to live in an echo chamber, I’m so utterly bored of culture wars and vindictive and antagonistic rhetoric. It’s refreshing in here and I’m not going back. More than happy to have civil discussions and debates with those who I might politically disagree with.

A word on the Allison Pearson free speech row, and what she describes as a ‘Kafkaesque’ threat to it. We asked her on @thenewsagents.bsky.social to discuss. She said: ‘No. And if you get any aspect of the story wrong my lawyers will be watching.’ Gotta love a free speech warrior 🤷🏻‍♂️
