Newsreader is also calling them "Israeli", and nobody in the report has referred to them as "Jewish" but the chyron is unaltered. Does that seem dangerous to anyone else??

Another view with the same "Jewish settlers" text in the larger red "this is the headline we're reporting on now" section of the chyron

this seems unhelpful from the BBC

BBC news channel chyron from today at 15:15pm, which reads
"Masked Jewish settlers attack Palestinian farmers in the occupied West Bank"

in a rational world, the second paragraph here would be about how Dave was dismissed, and development was focussed on expanding the platform's robustness and capacity for 4K content, but here we are

Dave’s vision for iPlayer included an AI agent called Iggy, which helps recommend and summarize iPlayer content, and can speak to audiences in different languages. Other ideas Dave presented to staff included a personalized “hero” picture at the top of iPlayer’s home screen, which picks out algorithm-led content recommendations based on past viewing habits. He also demonstrated “Vegas mode,” allowing viewers to “roll the dice” and see what iPlayer selects for them.

Brittin said Dave — who at one point during his presentation referred to the director-general as “my big homie” — had captured a “pioneering mindset” that he wants to see more of at the BBC. Brittin added that the BBC plans to begin testing some of Dave’s ideas with audiences “in the coming weeks.”

literally the same account, a couple of hours earlier:

It's right and necessary to condemn the heinous crimes of the Israeli state. Too often though people try and defend antisemitism as "anti-Zionism". Personally I believe Greens have massively screwed this one. It'll be taken by too many as an excuse for antisemitism under the cover of "anti-Zionism".

the refereeing decision is irrelevant. if your defence is this far out of shape you deserve to concede a goal, and the scorer was onside

screenshot of the penalty area as gvardiol crosses the ball from the left hand side. he is flanked by dalot (RB) and dorgu (LB). the nearest city player to the ball is anderson, watched by maguire (CB). united's other centre back Martinez is holding the line with Enzo Fernandez in front of him a couple of yards offside, and Erling Haaland behind him who appears to be offside (but isn't). Mainoo and Tielemans have not spotted the overload either despite both being able to clearly see both of their full backs have been pulled over to the same side. It is an absolute disaster class of defending

"artificial intelligence, growth and financial services" one of these is not like the others but it kind of betrays that they're all basically meaningless doesn't it

The chancellor will argue that for too long Britain has been too down on itself, beset by a sense of negativity. In fact it is a world leader in artificial intelligence, growth and financial services, all of which need to be at the heart of what comes next

it would completely ruin this joke though

Still image from the show "Community". a partly open desk drawer contains a small handgun, a staple remover and and a couple of bulldog clips. In the shadow of the still closed part of the drawer, the bottom edge of a book is just visible. Perhaps its cover and title will be revealed when the drawer is further opened. If there had been a window on the desk we would know what it was already.

Post in the style of the government alert issued earlier today:

Severe Alert

Issued by #StopRosebank

There is an extremely high risk of complete climate breakdown. Governments should not undertake any activity that could cause serious harm to humanity, including drilling for new oil and gas. Every new oil field brings us one step closer to widespread wildfires, drought and famine.

he _almost_ gets it here!!! yes, society is increasingly hostile to neurodivergent people, which is part of the reason for the increase in diagnoses! and therefore we should improve society somewhat? right??

"Watching her weigh up the decision, I kept returning to the same thought, that if a 10-year-old cannot cope with school unless he's taking amphetamines, the problem lies less in his brain than in what society and school are asking of him."
