The BBC seem happy to allow Justin Webb to write article after article in right-wing papers and magazines without any comment but when Gary Lineker expressed his own views in public they went bananas. #r4today

I agree – given Musk’s deep involvement in anti-science and anti-equality efforts in the USA, the Royal Society should concede his actions are at odds with continuing tenure with their society.

(That in addition to his recurring ugly behaviour toward others.)

Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau's newest executive order has gone into full effect today with the name change of the 'United States of America', to the newly named ‘North-Mexican Riviera'. The new name will not change for user in the U.S, but users outside the U.S. will now see both names.

The decline in standards at #r4today is not a phenomenon observed buy listeners alone.

Even seasoned BBC correspondents are alarmed.

I don’t think the media should allow Trump free rein to riff about who he imagines should be blamed for the Washington air disaster without mentioning what he’s just signed off on, for context. #bbcpm #c4news #TSA

BBC headline reading "Art fans from UK to be charged more to visit Louvre than those from EU" edited to read "Art fans from outside the EU to be charged more to visit Louvre than those from EU"

Fixed this for you BBC news. It's not a personal vendetta against the UK, it's the result of a stupid decision the UK made.

BBC headline tells us "Art fans from UK to be charged more to visit Louvre than those from EU". Well, all citizens from countries outside the EU are to be charged the higher ticket price. Far from being singled out for punishment the UK is being enabled to enjoy its Brexit freedom.

Heard from inside the National Cancer Institute, part of NIH — travel through April is canceled. Purchasing with government card is frozen. All public comms are off limits. Can’t even submit abstracts to future meetings. Can’t submit *manuscripts* for publication. All hiring activity frozen. Fuck.
