A fascinating editorial decision from the BBC, to make the headline a scaremongering “AUTISM AND ADHD ARE BEING OVERDIAGNOSED”, and then, four bullet points later, have the author of the report quoted as essentially saying “nah, that’s bullshit, actually”.

ADHD and autism at risk of over-diagnosis, says report, as author warns of rise in mental ill health
Summary
• An official review in England finds there is a risk of people being over-diagnosed with
ADHD and autism - three key findings from the report
• As well as neurodevelopmental conditions, the review looks at mental ill health, particularly in younger people. Our health correspondent explains the difference
• It was commissioned earlier this year after Wes Streeting, then the health secretary, said there was an "over-diagnosis" of mental health conditions
• Speaking to Radio 4's Today programme earlier, review chair Prof Peter Fonagy said Streeting was "with respect, completely wrong"

I can’t really take a political mainstream that insists the Greens be shunned but Reform and the Tories be treated as legitimate seriously.

It took me about 10 minutes to process what I was hearing in his interview—that he was supposedly offering $5,000 to everyone who participated in this pre-vote. This sounds like giving me $5,000 just to say in a poll that I’m going to vote for you. Where does something like this even happen?

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

Gavin Bazunu statement on withdrawing from Ireland squad

Statement - Gavin Bazunu

Representing my country means everything to me. I have the utmost respect for every single one of my team mates, the Manager, his staff and the Irish people

However I have reached a decision that I have hot taken lightly. I am a man of strong faith and try my best to be a person of character and principle therefore 1 feel it would be wrong to participate in the upcoming fixtures against Israel.

My decision is based purely upon my personal belief that the killing of innocent people is wrong.

It is important to note that my stance is not in opposition of the Israeli people or the Jewish community but against the atrocities in the region.

There are few times where you get a chance ir ife to stand up for something bigger and strongly believe that this is one of them

The FAI repeatedly told us players would be protected. Yet when a 24 year old acted on his conscience, they left him to stand alone & used a vote among his teammates to validate their own cowardice. This isn’t protecting a young player, it’s protecting themselves at his expense. #StopTheGame

The Sun and the Moon - From Jason Major (jpmajor.bsky.social) - flic.kr/p/8KDvg5

From an SDO image chosen as the Pick of the Week for October 15th, this shot is almost too cool to be real...but it is! As the New Moon passed between the Solar Dynamics Observatory and the Sun, the spacecraft in geosynchronous orbit got a view of the Moon's silhouetted disc passing across its normally unobstructed solar view. At the same time an energetic flare was erupting along the Sun's limb. Amazing!

The image shown here has been rotated 180º to put the southern hemisphere of the Moon facing upwards. The large-size version will show the rugged terrain of the Moon's south pole. It has also been color-edited, sharpened via high pass and level-adjusted to bring out details in the Sun's surface.

See the original Pick of the Week post and video of the event on SDO's main site here: sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/potw.php?v=item&id=27

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.
