Outside of Motorsport, this is easily one of my favourite ever sporting moments. A petulant child getting his comeuppance, on the pitch at least. Even sweeter when it's against my country ๐Ÿ˜น

Nowhere in discussions about 'bias' in the BBC & the hysterical right-wing pile-on do many people cite the groundbreaking research by Glasgow University Media Group from 1970s. Starting with 'Bad News' (76) & 'More Bad News' (80) they systematically analysed BBC & ITV news.

I know it feels like losing identity and security when one is summarily kicked out of what felt like home. It is disorienting and lonely. scary. But Karen you are also doing great, you are pro-active in teaching and also being quiet and self-caring. This is how you do it. I am Buddhist chaplain. DM

When I was fired from my job, it wasn't even a job I enjoyed at the end, but I'd still poured my heart and soul into it. It took years for me to "recover" (I still spiral into blind rage about it when asked the right questions)

I imagine it's a splinter compared to what you're going through.

Having once been fired from a job where I worked incessantly and accomplished amazing things, I feel you. It took about two years to fully get over the trauma.

Someone asked if I have been shadowbanned on here, because they havenโ€™t seen my posts for weeks.

I am not shadowbanned, Iโ€™ve just been quiet on socials and substack.

Iโ€™ve focusing on teaching and navigating the fallout from my firing from @washingtonpost.com โ€” itโ€™s been psychologically hard.

I guess Joe Rogan, on whose podcast Elon Musk was speaking, was just nodding along to this complete bullshit...

Rogan has one of the most popular podcasts in the world, listened to by an estimated 11 million people per episode.

78% are murdered by a partner/ex

Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this

Not once have I heard them back measures to protect womenโ€™s safety

"Epstein... walked around his desk, picked up a grainy photograph, and handed it to me. The image had been taken from some distance, but it was unmistakably my little brother. I felt a stab of fear.

โ€œWe know where your brother goes to school,โ€ Epstein said."

This man was a monster. I feel sick.
