Can't believe how bad subtitles are on legitimate corporate streaming services, you get better quality with torrents. Watching Godfather 2 on paramount, subs for Italian dialogue run 15 secs late, if you turn on English subs it replaces them with (SPEAKING ITALIAN)

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"

Can't believe the argument the media is falling back on is that most British Zionists don't consider themselves to be racist. Most racists don't consider themselves to be racist, they think their ideas are normal and good. This isn't how we define if ideas are racist or not.

One summer in Donegal I asked my cousins to teach me more Irish words, they told me that I wouldn't have heard this before but the traditional, and very polite, Irish greeting is to say "Nanu Nanu" while extending my fingers like so 🖖

Lookit. Deep down every Irish person wants to spin some yank a yarn that gets cited as fact in some factual text. We told an Irish American girl that when the Muppets was released in Ireland, Kermit the Frog was called Dermot the Frog because Cromwell’s son was a Kermit.

Alex is far from the only British commentator who plainly believes e.g. the destruction of the Gaza Strip and the ethnic cleansing of southern Lebanon are a valiant battle by regrettably fascist white heroes against the black horde of Mordor. But how did this wildly extreme position become dominant?

Massie with the shocking news here that Palestinians have been importing the Israel/Palestine conflict to Britain, and that Palestinians are targeting Israelis on the streets of Britain.

alexmassie • @alexmassie X.com A classic example of how playing the 'both sides' card is a means of avoiding, or even denying, obvious truths. "We can never allow conflict overseas to divide us at home", Khan says. But only one side imports the conflict here. Only one side targets the other on British streets every week. The two sides are not, in fact, the same. x.com/ mayoroflondon/... Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan Ma... • 10h My statement on the third anniversary of the October 7 attacks.

Anyone on here with experience of CCTV hobbyists trying to surveil the whole street? A neighbour of my studio has CCTV pointed at my front door cos she's trying to get the Jamaican pub nextdoor shut down. I asked her nicely to stop but she doubled down. Is a ICO complaint & regular SARs best option?

Tony notably saying in the 2010s that it was foolish to get all wound up about e.g. ownership of trains and buses, given we would all be going around in self-driving cars. Toot toot

Are there other ways of showing climate leadership? Is geoengineering ("dimming the sun") feasible? Is a global carbon tax realistic? Can Al solve the problem? Tony Blair tried to start a wider debate last year
