HIV AIDS, Hillsborough, hacking, the list goes on. The Sun never learns. It damages this country and destroys British lives and families over and over again. It gets away with it because it’s proprietor is over-powerful. It’s had all its second chances now. Close it. Move on.
The Sun must answer for its coverage the editor of the Beeb Watch podcast tells @JackieLongc4 The Sun says the story was always “squarely in the public interest”. channel4.com/news/the-sun-mu…

Some questions for @TheSun to answer in the so-called #BBCscandal, which may be yet another #SUNscandal. 1. Before publishing on Saturday, did you contact or attempt to contact the young person allegedly at the centre of events, to seek their comment? 2. If not, why not? 1/6

How about some essential balance ? Just like Gary this bloke is sometimes employed by the BBC for his respected expertise . He too presents his views publicly . Just wondering if anyone in the government wants to retrospectively kick off about these tweets ? Nah, don’t suppose so

Spectrum's coverage of the rising leadership and participatory involvement of autistic people in autism research has had a consistently toxic effect, embodied in this article. I've therefore been informally boycotting Spectrum, the autism specific news site & here's why a 🧵

Local radio news just headlined with this grim story then a few mins later played ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’ as part of their festive ‘Top 500 Songs’ countdown. And herein, friends, lies the peril of pre-recording your output.

This is a nice case study of zooming out to understand a problem space (also a good instance of going back to thumbnails and flows rather than getting stuck in the details of high fidelity wireframes) jamesamck.co.uk/projects/sta…

15 minutes on the phone starting a PIP claim. 15 minutes needlessly confirming and reconfirming information. And they still get my bloody name wrong.
