Nearly 100k people have joined our call to get dangerous US spy tech firm out of our NHS.
Palantir's founder has called for the NHS to be ripped up. Now his company has access to millions of patient records.
Tell the government to end the contract!

The scorn heaped on Jivani misses the most important point, which Coyne highlights:
There are a group of Canadian conservatives and business leaders who are auditioning for the role of Pétain and would be happy to lead a white Christian nationalist party.

NEW: White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, a Catholic, criticized Pope Leo XIV’s decision to decline President Trump’s invitation to join the proposed Gaza “Board of Peace.”
The pope’s top Middle East envoy condemned the initiative as a pay-to-play “colonialist operation.”
This (about the 'new' Grammarly AI toolset) is absolutely terrifying, not because the tool is good, but because it is an easy, all-in-one, way to avoid thinking any thoughts or doing any work at all *and 3000 universities say its OK to use*.

“The hospital admitting room, where somebody tonight is dying because they cannot afford to go upstairs to a bed that’s empty waiting for someone with insurance to get sick. We are a better nation than that. We must do better.”
Jesse Jackson’s message of what America could be still resonates.

Divination. I see my visual history of divination is now up on the Yale website. Forthcoming this year, Oct 2026. Enjoyed the challenge, once again, of exploring global traditions. Complex and rich.

Glad to see student-loan unfairness continuing to get mainstream attention. Good piece by @gabyhinsliff.bsky.social. Pity about the concluding misunderstanding, which repeats popular myths. (Semesters just organise the same 24 wks into 2 terms & most unis are increasing not reducing teaching time.)
