Mark Grimshaw@markgrimshawtism.bsky.social · 10h agoA 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”.

Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

There's got to be a reason builders do the noisiest part of their job first thing in the morning every morning, but I don't like it.
Since it was shown on the panel, I can probably show this, right?

The reason I know they’re playing is because not one of these guys has ever meaningfully given a flying shit about abusive or cruel behavior toward actual people
The Verge@theverge.com · yesterdayOver the past year, Anthropic has repeatedly flirted with the idea that its AI models could be conscious in some way. In February, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said on a podcast, “We don’t know if the models are conscious.”

Really good thread about neurodiversity which also gets at what I feel is at the heart of a lot of the modern crisis - people who are able to update their models of How The World Works vs people who can’t or won’t
Tim Clare@timclare.bsky.social · 10h agoA monster is something that defies our expectations. It does not fit into our current models. It is always unwelcome. It is, as Jeffrey Cohen puts it, 'the harbinger of a category crisis'. They are weird. They are something where it ought not to be.

As you probably missed it yesterday, in all the joy around Anne Carson's Nobel win, for The Guardian, here's my longer review of Patricia Lockwood's return to poetry: www.theguardian.com/books/2026/o...

Many people - politicians, doctors, parents - see the neurodiversity movement & feel the threat it poses to their worldview. If some minds are different, if some of us are fucked by the school system as it stands - totally shamed & brutalised by its inadequacy - that requires radical change.
Given students I’ve been supporting have been forced to turn to private providers (which the Church pays for) because the waiting lists are so insane, the system failure are already here *and it’s not the patients’ fault*

Not super keen on all the reporting conflating mental health issues with neurodivergence either, tbh
Yesterday was one of those rare and beautiful autumn days where the sun shone and there was barely a breath of wind. Unfortunately today normal service has resumed with wind and rain aplenty #Shetland
I know he's not Health Secretary any more but Streeting needs to be held to account for really kicking off the witch hunt of people with mental health issues. He clearly thought he was going to get another nice little report confirming his bigotry and that's very much not happened.
