This is the real story the media don’t want you to know about the tragic persecution of Prof Jason Arday. Prof Nathan Cofnas worked at the University of Cambridge at the same time as Prof Arday and it was Cofnas who set off the campaign against him. 1/7

This is absolute rookie stuff. There is just absolutely no way that a headline like this should ever make the BBC News website. It being the weekend is no excuse, either: political news *always* drops on Saturday night, for the Sunday papers.

If we are ever going to fix social care, we need to work across party lines. I've invited @AndyBurnham to sit down once he becomes Prime Minister, in hopes of finally solving this crisis which takes such a toll on families, our NHS and our economy. There is no time to waste.

A 3-year-old girl watched ICE murder her father yesterday. We all watched Sebastian Guerrero’s final moments through our phones. We can scroll away — but Sebastian’s 3-year-old daughter cannot.

Trump suggested that the U.S. "shouldn't even have" midterm elections, expressing concerns about his party potentially losing control of Congress. He made these remarks during an interview, which were later downplayed by his press secretary as a joke. 1. Forbes 2. Democracy Now!

"we ran 125 million barrels of oil through the Strait" is a classic "large number dummy" trick because under normal circumstances, 20 million barrels passed through the Strait of Hormuz every single day. "we've gotten 125 million barrels through" actually means transport has slowed to a trickle.

Through 3+ U.S. election cycles, our research team has identified and mapped 100+ different tropes — or common story elements — of the "rigged election" narrative. Often, these tropes reflect real events or data, but those events are misinterpreted or mischaracterized to create a false narrative.

Ecology of communication is (I believe) a new idea Leo introduces here, and applies to much more than just AI. Social media, journalism, publishers, politicians, and the Church and Christian communities themselves are all obligated to promote truth, fight misinformation, and be good stewards of data

It’s VERY IMPORTANT that corporate media NOT frame this as a judicial settlement. Trump DROPPED the suit this morning. There is no lawsuit, and therefore, no settlement. you can’t settle a suit that doesn’t exist. This is just pure theft.
