Sign the open letter: it's time for the people to take the reins. Your Party is too important to fall at the first hurdle. If you agree that the founding conference should be organised by a democratically elected body, sign your name.

Petition for an independent handover team, separate from either Corbyn or Sultana's factions, to steward the transition towards democracy in 'Your Party'.

BREAKING: The people who are committing genocide have decided it's so offensive if you point out they are committing genocide that you shouldn't be allowed into other countries x

Our new analysis -- BBC online news is simply not reporting the various ways the UK is supporting Israel’s brutal war on Gaza.

Of course, controls on capitalist companies seeking profit is seen as sacrosanct by most governments so its unlikely that we’ll see this challenge met in most places.

Social media, in its current form, is harmful for children and adults alike, in large part due to it’s relentless push to increase β€˜minutes spent’ through any means necessary.

On social media, I think the most important thing we should be seeking from regulators is algorithmic transparency and controls on pushing for engagement through β€˜rage bait’.

The recent push for a social media ban for teens is one example of a misguided approach in my opinion.

I detest populists like the Tories & Nigel Farage, but even more insidious when desperate voters demand change are deep Establishment functionaries like Sir Keir Starmer & The Guardian, which pretend to offer an alternative but simply deflect criticism & reinforce the status quo prohibiting change.

Israelis have put up billboards that say β€œYou have no future in Palestine” - all across the West Bank.

They include images of Palestinians being ethnically cleansed in Gaza.

weird interaction with a student this week. they kept coming up with weird "facts" ("greek is actually a combination of four other languages") that left me baffled. i said let's look this stuff up together, and they said ok, i'll open a search bar, and they opened... ch*tgpt

weird interaction with a student this week. they kept coming up with weird "facts" ("greek is actually a combination of four other languages") that left me baffled. i said let's look this stuff up together, and they said ok, i'll open a search bar, and they opened... ch*tgpt

and i was like "this is not a search bar" and they were like "yes it is, you can search for anything in here"

the thing that made me feel crazy is like. every kid that's using this as a browser is getting new BESPOKE false "facts." this isn't "a widespread misconception about X that stems from how it's taught in schools." each individual kid is now hooked into a Nonsense Machine

with the "widespread misconception about X" you can start at a baseline. like, ok, in tenth grade we all talk about X thing from history, and that leaves us with some misguided concepts about X, but we can correct that as students get broader understandings of the world

but with this, each child is getting UNIQUE wrong facts they are SURE are correct... because they did what we told them to do! they "looked it up"! they got it from somewhere! it's not a kid making up a belief on hearsay and assumption... it's something they think they LEARNED

this kid was extremely combative with me, and i understood why. i was sitting in front of him and telling him that the internet, a computer, technology, all these supposedly authoritative things... were wrong. and that i, one person, was right. he basically *couldn't* believe me.

he decided that i was simply a teacher who'd made a mistake. he could check it, after all! he could look it up! he could find the REAL facts. i obviously hadn't done that, i was just an adult who'd decided i was smarter than him. hence the defensiveness. like i said: i understood

Unless the government acts now, next year’s #SpotifyWrapped might not feature the most exciting and talented up-and-coming artists.

We demand the government introduces a small ticket levy on arena and stadium shows now.

The government failed to confirm Netanyahu would be immediately arrested in the UK, despite an ICC warrant.

They admitted UK-made F-35 parts could violate international law, yet continue selling arms.

When will the government end its complicity in genocide & end all arms sales?
