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”.

Even as a viewer who knows exactly who is and isn't a Traitor *I* still suspect Julie of being a Traitor. #CelebrityTraitors

The far-right smashed up a HMO housing asylum-seekers last night.

On the day he is a main candidate in a very important by-election, Facebook has *suspended* Zack Polanski’s account. This ON ITS OWN should be reason to vote Green in Holborn & St Pancras. This is foreign interference in British democracy. And guess what, the media (and Labour) is silent.

Poll Check are projecting the result as incredibly close. We CAN win this! Join us tomorrow anytime between 7am-10pm and then come celebrate the Green victory you helped make happen!! forms.cloud.microsoft/pages/respon...

We going to have breaking news and endless headlines about this far right rhetoric at Tory conference? No?

flyingrodent@flyingrodent.bsky.social · 4d ago

Fun knockabout stuff at Tory conference, again

I can't lie, this headline almost reads like a parody

Grumpy Philosopher@stevecooke.org · 4d ago

With respect to the Times’ claim that ‘£100,000 is not the lavish payday it used to be’: yes it fucking is. The fact that these knobs can write that shows just how lazy & out of touch Times journalists are. Just how difficult is it to visit the ONS website & check? Too hard for the chump below.

I read this thread, and was glad that I had - from a member of the Jewish Greens committee, in a personal capacity of course.

Annie Gottfried Cohen@annsplaining.bsky.social · 4d ago

Reading the news, it would be easy to believe that the Green Party has adopted a policy to expel its Jewish members, prevent them from attending synagogue or at the very least scrutinise their activities outside the party. *None of that has happened* 🧵

Again, let's just stop & remember that age-based legal restrictions on access to social media/online services are a bad idea & infringe the rights of young people to speak, access information and arts & culture, find community and play. Then look at the madness involved in trying to make them work.

UK officials admit that they will do "hard checks" to enforce the under-16 social media ban after Australia's failures and will require platforms to verify via passport, license, or credit.

hey so quick question. is "thorough cleansing" racist

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich: “The thorough cleansing that we are carrying out now in southern Lebanon is unprecedented. “They have nowhere to return to. Look at how it looks. “And by the way, the world isn’t stopping us.”

Sonia is a reactionary crackpot who is paid to write hit pieces on progressives for a very, very right wing Murdoch newspaper. What is she talking about, here? You openly despise most of the left, you don’t get a vote here!

What happened to “I can’t do anything as I’m sticking to the Manifesto”? Funny how they can do all the things that make people’s lives worse, even though they aren’t in the manifeso, but doing anything that would help “Sorry, impossible as it’s not in the manifesto”

Don't waste your time on debating about iced coffee at interviews when we could be asking why ghost jobs aren't illegal or why there is $50 billion in annual wage theft in the United States alone

I think the "debate" about bringing iced coffee to job interviews is effective at distracting people from the really bad job market, the high unemployment rate for Black women, ongoing mass layoffs in tech and media, and how Gen Z workers are refusing to adopt many toxic aspects of corp work culture

This report from the BBC whitewashes the nasty far right AFD, exaggerates its achievements and consigns De Linke's win in Berlin to a footnote. Not remotely balanced reporting. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Plan to limit number of NHS patients diagnosed with ADHD attacked as ‘rationing’ healthcare

As Burnham inevitably runs into the buzzsaw of the budget and the oil crisis and his popularity collapses to sub-Starmer numbers we're going to get another round of "is Britain ungovernable?" and I would simply ask: does this look like any kind of sincere attempt to govern is being made?
