Europe is at the centre of a new Cold War, but this time the two main protagonists - Putin’s Russia and Trump’s America - want the same thing. An authoritarian, anti-democratic Europe, scared and subservient to them, and devoid of its Enlightenment values.

Frustrated by repeated delays, the Treasury has thrown down the gauntlet to Phillipson.
Sort out SEND - or see your planned increase in school funding become a 1.7% per pupil cut.
Big upping of the stakes for the promised SEND White Paper.

I don't understand how people I know who used to criticise creationists, antivaxxers and cllimate deniers, in a few years began insisting that a man could literally become a woman just because he declared he was, and that inner feelings took precedence over biological reality.

I have often seen masculinity, conventional version, as a constant renunciation, in return for corrosive power. All the things you're not allowed to like, enjoy, do, say, wear, but (metaphorically speaking) this straitjacket comes with a gun.

In the future, AI chatbots may weave ads invisibly into “helpful” advice, steering conversations without you even knowing, argues Daniel Barcay, executive director of the Center for Humane Technology. When the AI we rely on starts steering us for revenue, not our goals, human autonomy is at risk.

Daniel Barcay sounds the alarm on AI chatbots hiding advertising in conversations—and why this threatens autonomy and demands new rules.

The government can stick to this plan, or the government can get re-elected. Unlikely it can do both. Therefore either the government has a death wish or the 27-29 figures are yet another budgetary fairy tale. Remember when this government promised to be serious and not to duck the hard choices?
The government’s spending plans are “25-27: spending increases, 27-29: paaaain” which, uh…the election is 2028-9!

Let this short thread radicalize you.
Normand Meunier is a Canadian man with quadriplegia who accessed MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying) after being left for 96 hours on a stretcher in the ER.
His requests for a specialized mattress were denied.
He wasn't turned regularly.
He developed bed sores so bad, he opted to end his life.

How men feared women! she thought, walking among the late-flowering roses. Not as individuals, but women when they talked together, worked together, spoke up for one another - then men saw plots, cabals, constraints, traps being laid.

“Meta banned beauty filters in 2019, only to roll them back out the following year after the company realized that banning beauty filters would have a “negative growth impact,” according to the plaintiffs’ brief.”
