There's a fun conversation on Times Radio right now about the SpaceX moon crash where the interviewer is asking why we shouldn't be more concerned about this crash, and the space expert is explaining where the Moon is and the likelihood of casualties

This Guardian piece is interestingly written, because what it's basically saying is this: a) Black people in the public sphere receive huge amounts of hate, as well as attempts by crank race-scientists to discredit them. b) But these guy's claims do not add up www.theguardian.com/education/ng...

There now follows a short prepared statement: After careful consideration, I've come to the decision that if Mr Infantino offers me £30m, I've decided to see his plans as being for the good of the game. I shall be taking no further questions at this time.

If the thing that's worrying you about the folk doing political threats and violence is that the "wrong" people will politically exploit it, your moral compass is very, *very* off. The thing that should worry you most is the people that keep being politically murdered.

Indeed. It’s just not that deep, you shouldn’t call for your political opponents to be killed, even as an “edgy” joke.

There is also the fact that this lad turned up to the Green party's big fundraising rave on Sunday wearing a explicit call for the murder of a political opponent... ... and not only did no one see the issue, they chose to photo him and use his image to promote it. The issues go further than Zack

I'm not sure there's a bigger societal delusion than the idea that the job of the education system is somehow to teach kids lots of important knowledge and skills that they they'll need for the rest of their life. We all know it's false, and yet here we are, all discussing it as if it's real.

The least you can do is check the images on Instagram post you’re accepting a collaboration request from. He’s not cut out for the big leagues. Sorry!

The thing that has been most surprising to me about the rise in racism are the people who don’t support it, don’t sit in mute silence, but instead are…visibly incapable of understanding why it’s a bigger problem than, say, changing the type of property tax I pay.

Stephen Bush@stephenkb.bsky.social · last wk.

Yes, it’s true. I do, in fact, “just disagree” with the idea that I should be murdered. (Unclear whether as a miscengenate I am “traitor” or “invader”.)

One thing this place from twitter is the 'turn off retweets' feature. There are some folk who themselves say interesting things worth reading, whether you agree or disagree, but who don't half retweet some nonsense.
