The Manchester synagogue attack is a story of mass immigration and multiculturalism. We must bring an end to both.

I do love travelling by sea. Haven’t done it for years.

What you can’t see in this picture from this morning is how excited I was just to *be there* 🙂

Random question: does anyone have a copy of the draft Code of Practice the EHRC released for public consultation in *October 2024* (ie not the one following the SC ruling)?

But the one from this consultation: www.equalityhumanrights.com/media-centre...

Thanks for any help!

Good tip.

I also highly recommend the A Very British Bigotry list by @hedgehogsafety.bsky.social if you want to just expunge transphobes from your timeline (mute or block, it’s your choice).

It’s to make billionaires even wealthier.

That’s it.

There’s no other reason.

OpenAI’s planned data centers will use more power than New York City & San Diego use at their peak consumption, combined. More power than the entire nations of Switzerland & Portugal combined. And San Altman’s buddies in this administration have been cutting all of our energy infrastructure upgrades

Sam Altman’s AI empire will devour as much power as New York City and San Diego combined. Experts say it’s ‘scary’ | Fortune

Andrew Chien told Fortune he’s been a computer scientist for 40 years but we’re close to “some seminal moments for how we think about AI and its impact on society.”

Applies, as far as I'm aware, to other areas of medicine too, where Cass's "gold standard" of double blind clinical trials may not be feasible for practical or ethical reasons.

For example, obstetrics.

The framing around "evidence" in the entire Cass review is basically fraudulent.

Dreamliner Again @entirelyharmless.bsky.social · 2d

It's particularly egregious that Cass was deliberately disingenuous about standards of evidence, given that she was a paediatrician.

A lot of paediatric medicine lacks the kind of "high quality" evidence that Cass keeps banging on about.

That doesn't mean it isn't good medicine, AS CASS KNOWS.
