OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

Happy 12th anniversary to this immensely important editorial in Britain’s newspaper of record, the [checks notes] Sunday Sport.

Editorial in the Sunday Sport:

SUNDAY Sport likes to remain above the squabbles and spats which often divide our tired old
Fleet Street rivals.
We serve our readers, not the petty rivalries of editors or proprietors.
But we are today forced to join a debate after our very integrity was questioned by The Guardian.
And the heated issue is the spelling
of the word "BELLEND".
This left-wing,
loss-making house
journal of Britain's chattering classes recently updated its style guide - the manual which tells its journalists how to spell certain oft-misspelt words.
In defiance of common sense and common decency Guardian bigwigs have decreed their galley slaves spell out bellend as "bell-end"
They
may find
this bohemian
departure from orthodoxy "challenging" but it is a direct assault on the English language.
Do not forget, the teachers of Britain suckle at the teat of The Guardian like hungry puppies.
This misspelling of bellend will be forced into the easily-moulded minds of our nation's schoolchildren.
The
Guardian.
Wrong about everything. Always.

On July 31, Simon Baron-Cohen urged people to tone down the rhetoric on twitter re Jason Arday, and pointed to his own research on autism and suicide. Alexander Kustov responded with "Shame" Elon Musk with "Evil," and a wide variety of people came out jeering. The kind of cruelty on display here.

If an academic is in such a condition that public scrutiny of his (equally public) work may cause suicidal urges, then as a matter of urgency he should take leave and receive care. Using this threat to try and silence critics is about as low as it gets.

This is amazing. You can't call out plagiarism because SUICIDE.

This is the cheapest argument imaginable. It's what the trans movement did to shut down debate.

I care deeply about people's mental health.

However, this is not a satisfactory defense for at least two reasons.

First, what about the mental health of the people who's work Arday stole?

What about Paula Zwozdiak-Myers? Women face an elevated risk for certain mental health
