Populism, public opinion, and the mainstreaming of the far right: The ‘immigration issue’ and the construction of a reactionary ‘people’ - Aurelien Mondon, 2025

Net migration has almost halved in a year.

Over the past few years, particularly since 2017's worldwide March for Science, many scientists advocate for science and in particular for climate and environmental issues. This has generated a lot of research which we reviewed in our @plosclimate.org paper. Details below #Science #Climate #Activism

Not to belabour the point, as others have made it, but a lot of the social scientific takes on the Belfast pogroms emanating from England and placing them in a pattern with recent race riots *in* England, don’t really take specificities like this into account.

Via Irish News 'Some of the children and young people who took to the streets during racist disorder in Belfast last week were there to clear debts for drugs and loans to paramilitaries, according to the Commissioner for Children and Young People.' [3/n]

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.

Elon Musk's role was 'instrumental' in the Belfast riots, researchers say

The newly crowned world's first trillionaire is once again facing criticism over the violent narratives he amplified on his platform X.

When I meet people in the real world, they have 0% - and I mean zero - knowledge of the disaster unfolding in British HE. Even if their kids are actually at uni. They look at me as if I've gone mad. This is why. 👇
