Trump has never been convicted of corruption so there's no privilege - you want to make this statement you have to be able to prove in a court of law that you are correct. Rutger isn't been censored he's been shown how the law works.
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Having carefully calculated that there is absolutely nothing in the budget, floated, mooted or recommended that isn't going to hit me (rightly, though less rightly for some options) I'd just like the love shared a bit so real money got raised and the country visibly got better as a result.

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.

Whatever you think of Tommy Robinson, it shouldn't be right that the police have the power to stop someone and demand their phone PIN. In the same situation no way would I be handing mine over.

This is one of the great threads.
This whole thread is absolutely peak Bluesky. Dear Americans, not everything is about you.
Announcing this on a board where Americans are in the fight of their lives against a fascist takeover may be a pointer....

![Cartoon strip by me who is Stephen Collins. The imagery of the comic starts off with a single electron and then each panel zooms out one step - first to the microchip, then the OLED screen, then the iPhone, the person holding the iPhone, and onwards
Script:
An electron, forged in the first fire of the Big Bang
Courses through a deeply intricate maze of transistors and diodes
mined with unfathomable ingenuity from our planet’s deep geological past
and assembled from all over the world
Into a device perfected through centuries of technological evolution
to perform a beautifully synchronised pixel dance on an OLED screen
in an intricate moving pattern of shifting light
[Show a phone screen with an Instagram post featuring Ryan Gosling and bearing the legend:]
WATCH RYAN GOSLING EAT A PASTY FOR THE FIRST TIME!
whose choreography is powered by an global information network of unknowable complexity
which is specifically tailored to the interests of the being observing the screen
who is a member of the most advanced species on Earth
[Show a shlubby looking GUY idly looking at the Ryan Gosling/sausage roll Instagram reel on his phone while sitting in his pants and a stained t-shirt and eating a massive bag of crisps]
with a brain perhaps more capable of reconfiguring these signals into conscious thought than any other for billions of miles around
[Guy has a thought]:
“Mmm…"
in this endless, silent void.
[Pull back to show the Earth as a tiny blue dot among the stars with a thought bubble coming from it]
"… I want a pasty.”

Some studies show a higher rate of autism in children whose mother used paracetamol when pregnant, some don't. That seems to be what we know at the moment. We can't say prenatal paracetamol use causes autism, we can't say it doesn't. Should we do more research - definitely
If you are going to talk about Autism, paracetamol/acetaminophen please read the published studies first

I hate the snobbery implicit in this viewpoint. There's nothing wrong in the principle of asking people what they think. Having an opinion shouldn't be the preserve of think tanks or professional commentators. That said when journalists are out asking questions most people are out at work.
Vox pops are the lowest form of journalism because they allow news organisations to editorialise through selective interviews without even the spurious science of polling data. This is leading the website of the BBC which must think it’s the most important news happening today.
