This book birthed the term 'manosphere'. It's by a pornographer called Ian Boner. I'm going to use the image in a piece I am writing about why we should NOT use the term 'manosphere'. I would like the image to be improved. Please scribble on it. I'll use the best as an image in my piece.

Very interesting study exploring the role MSM play both in informing/misinforming anti lock down protestors and galvanising them 🤔

Oh ye of little faith! Muscular hypertrophy is much faster* via internal qi training than external progressive resistance training. *Ahem 😆

Noticed a weird increase in AI ads suggesting tai chi makes you muscular and ripped. My algorithm started feeding “science” stories about tai chi and muscle mass in older people. From there it slid into reels of Chinese men saying older men can get massive and ripped by tai chi. Yeah, right

Our new @cujournmedcul.bsky.social study with @nathanritchie.bsky.social - can the new fact-checking site, Verify, be more effectively used by the BBC?

BBC Verify largely factchecks international stories – what about UK politics?
Domestic political stories were more likely to have context added, rather than claims challenged.
Our new research now published about Verify Live, the BBC’s new factchecking service, where we argue its focus on international coverage limits the impact it can have on UK politics – Thread 1/6 theconversation.com/bbc-verify-l...

Improve meetings by making business-speak platitudes more poetic. I for one will now only ask that we “get all our throstles in a row”, and I only invoke the inevitable passage of time by saying “going wolleward and weetshoed” or “when the hurly-burly’s done”

Everyone is arguing about whether Trump is more like Mussolini or Stalin, Hitler or Mao, Pol Pot or Basil Fawlty. But I would argue that the figure he is most like is that one from The Book of Revelation - you know, The Beast.

Last night I watched “A History of Violence” - a film so bad that I really want to write about it and others of its ilk. So: any suggestions for other films about American family men who have a secret former life of being assassins and suchlike? Obvs, “Nobody”; but what else?
