‘Life-saving’ here means ‘experimental’, which is usually the way with these appeals. If it was an established treatment the NHS would fund it.

Anyone who has worked in publishing gets this: it's mass production for a consumer market. Btw there are even a full 21 complete copies left of the Gutenberg Bible (joke)

We have to get over the idea that books are precious. Throwing away a copy of a mass produced book is not sacrilege. It's just practical.

Hac intellegentiae artificialis aetate, urgens fit humanam artem ab iis distinguere, quae machinis efficiuntur. Ars enim et ea, quae machina ex innumeris alienis imaginibus statisticae ope computationis generare potest, ontologice, prius etiam quam aesthetice, inter se differunt. Algorithmis humani deest favilla. Quapropter Ecclesia cum artificibus et humani cultus institutis foedus renovare cupit: foedus scilicet ad humanum custodiendum.

This is a hugely tragic story – Nicholas Brandram was a distinguished Scots Guards veteran turned highly successful financier, but his life appears to have been undone by an unresolved traffic incident lasting seconds. Reads like a Dostoevsky plot. RIP. lbc.co.uk/article/putney-pus…

this is really, really, really, really bad. it's bad that there are no longer institutions that we can trust to at least try, a little, to stay above the fray. it's doubly bad when they are the most prestigious truthseeking institutions in the world. i want a different timeline

The death of Jason Arday must prompt deep reflection

The death of Jason Arday must prompt deep reflection

Nature - Universities and media organizations need to scrutinize their roles in the events that led to this tragedy.

nature.com
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Arday was an academic fraud whose life story was fake. Editorial falsely treats former as unproven allegation, omits mention of latter, defames those who covered the scandal as racist. Calls him "autistic Black scholar" despite no proven autism diagnosis. substack.com/@nathancofnas/… theguardian.com/education/ng-i… thetimes.com/uk/education/a… news.educ.cam.ac.uk/230223-jason-a… bbc.com/news/articles/… bbc.com/news/uk-englan… youtube.com/shorts/4kLRJvR… youtube.com/watch?v=g28uXe… youtube.com/watch?v=FA78tV… x.com/benryanwriter/… x.com/benryanwriter/…
