This BBC claim that Mr Thomas "drummed up support for 'mass resistance' but without violence" seems like an editorialisation of the news that lacks context/accuracy Firstly, Mr Thomas was clearly very pro-violence in summer 2024 + 2026 Secondly, Mr Thomas calls for disruption + threat

Watching BBC News and it's striking to hear the presenters repeatedly referring to the AfD as "far-right" whilst refusing to ever say the same about the hundreds of actual masked blackshirts currently swarming British ports

Isn’t nuclear regulated in all countries? US consumer stuff is a lot less regulated than in Europe. Regulation is important but these are not great examples to make one’s point

Every major party leader has put out a statement that they are reporting Reform UK to the police. The BBC's politics feed: JEEZUS MARY AND THE WEE DONKEY, surely the fact they have been reported to the police at the very least is very reasonably reportable!

Use of GLP-1 drugs is associated with an increased risk of hair loss (alopecia) in adults with type 2 diabetes, finds a new study published by The BMJ. Although the absolute risk is low, awareness of this potential effect may help to inform shared treatment decisions, say the researchers

Whilst I am not hopeful given governments track record, this is still a first step. The next step is make YouTube/Facebook/Instagram act like publishers/broadcasters for adults. Mandate easy and cheap technological fixes - no autoplay/no infinite scroll etc. and go from there.

Alternative strategy. 1. Tell people that using less energy is patriotic. 2. Accelerate the transition to renewables to secure the nation's security. 3. Explain it's all Trump's fault. 4. Point out that your opponents are big Trump fans. This seems simple to me.

Ten years ago today, in April 2016, the Boston Globe printed a satirical front page imagining a future Trump administration. The page was called "alarmist," "hyperbolic," "dystopian." But we’ve put up with so much since then it now looks like . . . a slow Thursday?

Boston Globe mock front page from April 9, 2016. Date says April 9, 2017, with giant headline “DEPORTATIONS TO BEGIN” and “Markets sink as trade war looms.”
