To all those asserting 'but how much worse would things be without BBC News'...
In the last decade, the BBC has legitimised climate change denialism, paved the way for Brexit, defended the coup that was prorogation, over-platformed Farage's Far Right projects, and is neutral on our abandonment of human rights norms.
What is this 'good' it supposedly does?

Very thoughtful post by @samwoolfe.bsky.social about the harm that can arise when men make masculinity and sexual performance too much a part of their identity.
For #MensMentalHealthMonth, I wrote this article on men's relationship to sex and sexual dysfunction, and how it is often tied to unhealthy expectations around masculinity.
Sex, Masculinity, And Men’s Silent Struggle • States Of Mind
Many men quietly carry anxiety and shame around sex and ideas of masculinity. It's time to update the conversation.

To be absolutely clear, it is impossible to vote for a party that cannot bring itself to unequivocally defend the rights of people living and working legally in this country. Because arbitrary removal of legal rights, or sudden varying of terms, for some is ultimately a threat to everyone.

Three *men* have been charged with rape. That's all. The poor woman, just imagine.
So, the Telegraph decided that the most important focus of this news story is the ethnicities and migrant status of the defendants.
