Big Oil is using native advertising to "disguise their ads in news outlets" and promote "controversial technologies like carbon capture as climate solutions, portray fossil fuel companies as climate-friendly, or misrepresent their role in the energy transition" finds author @commscholar.bsky.social.
These ads are poisoning trust in media
‘Native advertising' allows fossil fuel companies to disguise their ads in news outlets. A new book argues the practice undermines journalistic credibility.

The EHRC want to exclude women from femal single-sex spaces based on how "female" they look.

This is off the scale sexism and misogyny.

Millions of women will face harassment as result of this insanity.

“Many classic Original Series episodes are built around criticisms of war, racism and greed. In a now-infamous season three episode, “Let That Be Your Last Battlefield,” Star Trek gave one of its most pointed critiques of racism ever.”

Study finds that women’s names filled just 23% of author slots in 900 retracted articles published in medical journals (2008 - 2017). One possible explanation: women are more detail oriented & know they will be subject to scrutiny; thus are more careful.

Women seem to retract fewer papers than men — but why?
In an analysis of nearly 900 retracted medical research studies, the number of female authors is disproportionately low.

I love how the news is like "the Left needs to learn how to reach out to young men's issues" and the young men issues are that they can't get laid and aren't making enough money with online gambling.

Beating the far right by becoming the far right is the same as beating cancer by drinking cyanide.

How do public perceptions of government spending match with reality?

A YouGov experiment put a series of govt spending areas as head to head match-ups and asked Britons to say which they thought more was spent on

Someone tag the Labour party: ““This was a cynical strategic manoeuvre to avoid losing voters to the far right, but it seems, based on polling, that all they have done is prime their own voters to join the far right rather than stay with the Social Democrats.””

As someone who’s family had to flee Nazi Germany, this is really disgusting stuff from my government
This is a new low from a govt plumbing the depths of performative cruelty in hopes that the public won’t notice they have no answers to the real issues facing this country

A sensible, humane govt would focus on safe routes to prevent people making dangerous small boat crossings

I don’t think talking heads and politicians realise what ordinary people mean when they want to “lower inflation”. They don’t mean they want prices to stop rising, they want prices to go back where they were relative to their income

The iPad Pro went on sale 10 years ago today. At the time, many saw it as just a bigger iPad.

A decade later, though, the iPad Pro has changed. Rather than try to make it into something other than a laptop, Apple made it… a laptop.
