Criticism of biased media coverage of Gaza is often discarded as baseless..

The resulting study 'Hierarchies in Death' was just published #OA by Peacebuilding www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

The golden ticket is a good description of what the country receives: asylum seekers like my father who worked tirelessly for the community, such as volunteering at Crisis at Christmas on Xmas day, chairing charities, and supporting youth football on Sundays on top of his normal work.

So if I’ve grasped the galaxy-brained strategy here, it’s:
✅ Day 1: reassure target voters that migrants are a problem & you’re ready to make them suffer
✅ Day 2: tell target voters their ideas are racist
✅ Day 3: reassure target voters that migrants are a problem & you’re ready to make them suffer
Starmer to end asylum ‘golden ticket’ of resettlement and family reunion rights
People granted asylum will have to earn right to invite family in plan charities call ‘straight from populist playbook’

There is no such thing, as Starmer well knows, as a "golden ticket of resettlement and family reunion" for people who have been granted refugee status. This is meaningless guff aimed to play to populist fantasies that refugees get provided with everything. 1/

Imagine landing an interview for your dream job.

But you don't own a laptop, and you can’t afford internet or phone data – all of which are essential when so many interviews are online.

People receiving Universal Credit are plunged into impossible situations like this every day. It’s not right.

This year I've updated my UG stats lectures, including:

- Framing all techniques as GLM
- New vids on moderation with continuous predictors

In case anyone could use some UG-friendly guides on jamovi, here's a link to the lecture playlist 👇

Probably that too! I guess they could be linked at any stage pre-publication though

I'd say yes - if you're concerned about the editor's reaction then maybe just send a message to the editorial office to say that a pre-print has now been posted?
I think the main reason they ask at the point of submission is just in case it's flagged by plagiarism software

Following on from my earlier thread about claims of “bias” in universities (link below 👇), I was struck by James Marriott’s column in today’s Times. It’s full of anecdote & caricature. The real story of UK universities is structural, financial, and political. 🧵

Listening to Rest is Politics, Rest is Politics US, and reading respected commentators, it's striking how 'left-wing bias' in universities is now taken for granted. That matters, especially in the US, where academia faces political attack. Thoughts from having worked in US/UK universities. 🧵

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins?

He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions.

So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

Retrospectively removing indefinite leave to remain would be immoral and economically damaging. It would tear families apart.
Attacking it as ‘potentially illegal’ is completely beside the point.
Argue with the (awful) idea. Don’t try ’well, actually you can’t do that’.

All political tribes can be hypocritical but the right's current level of hypocrisy on free speech is deliberate. It's an assertion of power not a blindspot.

I hope we can all hold in mind that 'civility' is (1) important, and (2) primarily about *what* you say and do
