Your regular reminder that the absurdly simplistic claim of "race scientists" that there are genetically determined racial differences in intelligence is about as "controversial" as the claims that the earth is flat, that smoking doesn't cause lung cancer, or that vaccines cause autism

For many years listening to Ferrari's programs was a reason to be less surprised when the Brexit campaign released full scale racism in this country. It was always there.

Agreed

How sensible of them.

👏👏👏

Wow.

Can I load a data set like @usociety.bsky.social into it & get it to answer my questions?

This seems so contemporary. Astonishing. Thank you

👏👏👏

Stop secret corporate courts rewarding climate wreckers Community action stopped the climate-wrecking Whitehaven coal mine. Now, its backers are suing the government in a secret corporate court – and UK taxpayers could pay millions. Polluters should never ...

I just signed @friends-earth.bsky.social’s petition asking the government to put climate before profit and end secret corporate courts – will you join me? action.friendsoftheearth.uk/petition/sto...

Did they put that through your door? Yucky 🥴😵‍💫

Very interesting

As I understand it, you only get "profit" when you sell things. If 99% of people mare immiserated, who will buy anything?

Exactly

Clever little creature

I'm currently hiring for a PhD studentship based at City St George's, University of London as part of @equalise.bsky.social 'Family and environmental influences on children's home learning, and inequalities in education and mental health outcomes' Apply here: www.citystgeorges.ac.uk/prospective-...

Can AI take a paper though all the submission processes? That would certainly motivate me.

I'm a bit to Starmer's left, but it was disgusting to see how our scum media, having seen that the Tory party was pretty well cooked, turned so easily to Reform. Totally irresponsible.

Congratulations, Dr. Meena Kumari, PhD winner of the 2025 overall best paper award. lnkd.in/euUyrnag

It is our pleasure to announce Meena Kumari, PhD as the winner of the 2025 Overall Best Paper award.

Co-authors on the paper are Elise Whitley, Michaela Benzeval, and Michelle Kelly-Irving.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

What a beautiful creature

I was roooting for Italy but surprised they won. As a Scottish/Irish heritage I don't know who I would support....

I think it's harder too. Failed totally yesterday

@mkellyirving.bsky.social Glad I won't be in your household when that match takes place.
