I've been thinking about whether relentless coverage of Jason Arday's saga would end with his death. This week, the Brittish media kept at it, interviewing long-ago classmates, mining tru every facet of his life as if he was the first person in the world to have been accused of plagiarism.

Grateful to Zeteo UK, which launches properly next month, for lifting the paywall on this piece at my request. Please do consider subscribing! In this piece, I suggest that the Cambridge Genome Campus is too WOKE. 😅😅😅 zeteo.uk/p/the-jason-...

The Jason Arday Affair and the 'Oprahfication' of Antiracism

Culture warriors blame 'woke' Equality, Diversity and Inclusion policies for the scandal surrounding the Cambridge professor. The real problem is that EDI has been rendered symbolic and superficial.

“Judge Mitchell refused the application but noted the points raised and recorded that the case was now “peremptory against the State”, meaning progress needed to be made on the next date or it would be struck out.” Gonna be really funny when this guy walks thanks to Jim

The Telegraph has a 'disgusting' (someone who read it) hit piece on me by zombie racist, Charles Moore, apropos the Arday affair. This is the result in part of Cambridge Comms placating people like Moore who used to attack former VC Toope for EDI. They wheedled Moore into having dinner with VC.

The most depressing aspect of the current disputes between European countries over immigration is that the migrants are spoken about as if they were some form of toxic waste, not human beings.

After Spain Meloni is now in a dispute with Germany over migrants. Merz wants to send back up to 340k asylum seekers who landed in Italy under the new EU Regulation that came into effect on 12th June. Meloni argues that the Regulation only applies to those arriving after this date.

I wrote a whole ass book about their secret connections to the far right, *which Bindel tried to sue me for* and she just... posts it in public now

Aidan Comerford@aidancomerford.bsky.social · last wk.

Julie Bindel in 2026 eulogising Rod Liddle, who had a police caution for assaulting his pregnant girlfiend, and Julie Bindel in 2022 saying it's her "duty as a feminist" to point out when a prominent man who died was a domestic abuser. "Gender criticism" rots out any moral core you ever possessed...

This brings us ever closer to the scenario @fractalecho.bsky.social and I laid out in our Wheelchair-to-Warfare Pipeline piece, in which Microsoft's pursuit of an accessible controller will be used to lure disabled vets back into battle as remote drone operators. newrepublic.com/article/1793...

How Disabled People Get Exploited to Build the Technology of War

The cutting-edge products that Big Tech and the Pentagon are developing could be rebuilding an untold number of lives. Instead, they’re being sent to the battlefield to ruin more.

Dear journalists: Please stop featuring parents who obviously resent their autistic children, belittle things their children love, and catastrophize their disabilities. Dunking on kids is a shitty thing for any parent to do. That includes autistic children (kids or adults). 1/2

It feels like 90% of the "Men Left Behind" arguments boil down to "We used to have all the things and now we only have most of the things and that is discrimination against us because other people are allowed a few things."
