PSA: Here's how the anti-net zero sausage gets made:

1. Oil companies fund climate denial groups
2. which incubate fake experts
3. who write policy papers for 'think tanks'
4. which get blurbed by politicians
5. & reported uncritically by right-wing media.

Voila!

The Misleading Panic over Misinformation People can’t agree on how to define misinformation and its related terms, making regulation nearly impossible. Instead, free expression serves as a better tool for discovering truth.

🧵 THREAD: Why the Cato Institute’s new paper on “misinformation panic” is dangerously wrong, and why it completely misunderstands the real crisis we face.

@852dude.bsky.social Any chance of removing all the FPL posts from the NUFC group?

The BBC helped kill Anas al-Sharif. Its reporting will kill more journalists The media are legitimising the murder of journalists by Israel – and they are doing it because they are racist propagandists for a system of western colonial control in the Middle East

Congratulations England women! Absolute legends.

An image with a black and white background and a Latin American immigrant and a title Schröinger's Immigrant. On the left, it reads, "Lazily collecting all the welfare." On the right, it reads, "But also somehow taking all the jobs."

1. One thing you need to realise about the British Establishment is that it uses clowns to express its deepest desires. People like Rod Liddle offer a kind of deniability - "lighten up, he's just having a laugh". But they deliver a closer representation of its truths than any sober editorial.

Three Years Since Ethical Veganism Became Protected in Great Britain I could see the row of cameras outside. I had just dictated my statement to Megan, the press office of the legal firm representing me (Slater and Gordon) had assigned me for the case.

Whilst I 100% endorse where you're coming from the Equality Act offers protection for religion or belief, and it's under belief that being an ethical vegan became protected in 2020. Article below, see Grainger's Test. Anything anti-trans would surely fail criteria 5? veganfta.com/blog/2023/01...

I'm sure they'll be deploying Agent Tonali to maximum effect!

Well played though to A+M. Instead of building a squad for the long term they went for it, bought world class players and got that trophy. Even if PSR issues meant they had to go it's changed everything for club

Totally, he was such a huge loss. He would have fit in perfectly when Joelinton got injured. It's going to take me a while to get over. Suspect there was a lot more than meets the eye with that swap move!

Can we include Odysseas Vlachodimos as part of the deal? Particularly if we're getting Trafford in. £20m I hear is his value...

Am impasse I guess. But would still be good to understand why increasing the population locally or globally would be a good thing. Will take your suggestion and try to find someone who knows about it. And a good night to you too!

Easy tiger! So you think the number of people on the planet currently is below where it needs to be?
