Police identify seven as main suspects in Post Office Horizon scandal inquiry More than 45 individuals being investigated in relation to widespread miscarriage of justice

This will no doubt be a huge marker in the sand in illustrating the role of boards in oversight, being compassionate & #goodgovernance I recall the early days of this being reported & the impact with lives lost to suicide due to the humiliation caused - so tragic

63 studies: women who assert their ideas, make direct requests, and advocate for themselves are liked less.

They're also less likely to get hiredβ€”and it hasn't improved over time.

When will we stop punishing women for violating outdated gender stereotypes?

Gender equality doesn’t just 'happen.'

Women’s rights must be fought for and protected.

Our responsibility is clear.

To lead by example and create a world where opportunities are fair for all.

Not just today, but every single day.

TL:DR

β€’ Researchers ditching X for Bluesky.
β€’ Feels like old Twitter, but safer.
β€’ Better moderation, no spam, open data.
β€’ Science feed is thriving.
β€’ Growth risks bringing X/Twitter’s problems.

With the arrest of Telegram's CEO, are the wild west days of social media where anything goes, coming to an end?

"With the power those in charge of global platforms wield, it’s no bad thing for them to have a nagging fear in the back of their minds"
