This journalist is part of the problem with the media - she came with a pre-conceived position that was reflected in her question but she really didn’t know much about the subject & it showed. A triumph of opinion over knowledge that collapsed in the face of the truth.
Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo delivered a masterclass response to a lawyer challenging his decision to end four vaccine mandates.
Attorney Simone Chriss claimed it would have a “devastating impact.”
This was his response:
“I understand you’re not a clinician or a physician.”
“Did you say devastating impact?”
Chriss: “I did.”
Dr. Ladapo: “There are other states in this country that do not mandate three of the vaccines that we’re removing.”
“There are many, many countries that don’t mandate any vaccines.”
“Canada.”
“Australia.”
“Denmark.”
“Sweden.”
“The United Kingdom.”
“Many of these countries actually have life expectancies that are longer than this country has.”
“It’s actually sort of perverse to think that you could separate parental rights from public health.”
“Engaged parents are the reason that children eat healthier diets.”
“Engaged parents are the reason that children exercise.”
“Engaged parents are the reason that children go to school and learn, which is a huge predictor of future health.”
“This idea of a devastating impact, I mean, talk about not supported by evidence.”
Florida is refusing to back down from their plan to end mandates for Hep B, chickenpox, Hib, and pneumococcal shots.

The glaringly inconsistent discourse put forth by feminists has got to stop. It is dangerous to society and to women. I say this as a recovering feminist, while also recognizing that women who still call themselves feminists are doing some excellent work.
Being in a cult does not preclude one from doing good work. Tom Cruise is an excellent actor.
. @HMDatMI on Cornell's 'Jane Doe': "I believe her story. I just choose to believe her initial statements"—where she denies being raped.
"The idea of the claim of campus rape within the feminist industry is non-falsifiable. They've got this great equation where if a female denies that she's been raped that's all the more proof that she has been, because she's so traumatized.
...So you believe survivors only when they're saying they've been raped. If they say they have not been raped then you can't believe them because they don't really know what they're talking about."

Excellent @spikedonline analysis of the crisis at the BBC by my ex-boss @philmcraig. 20 years ago when I made science docs for the Beeb it was a global byword for impartiality. A reputation trashed by managers who refuse to uphold the Corporation's values.

When people say gender identity ideology is a luxury belief, this is what they mean.
In this short but mighty powerful article, @RoisinMichaux talks about what is seldom spoken about—what women and girls face from men, how much that can depend on where we live and how we grow up, and why we need separation, even in the smallest ways.

Thomas Sowell explains why being willing to admit you’re wrong is one of the most important parts of intellectual growth.
The goal isn’t to defend your opinions at all costs. It’s to follow the evidence, even when it forces you to change your mind.
Some refreshingly sane talk of the very real and important phenomenon of sex in biological reality with only a hint of rhetorical hedging (tends) and forelock tugging (inclusive). A moment of calm before the barbarians appear on the horizon, tho?

🤥 Why are other countries returning to common sense while Australia doubles down on the lie that men can be women and kids can be born in the wrong body?
🏳️⚧️ Because from governments, media and education to human rights commissions, health regulators and sporting bodies, Australia’s institutions are utterly captured by gender ideology.
✂️ Earlier this year, the ABC cut ties with trans lobby group ACON and its ‘Pride Inclusion Programs’. It’s time every Australian institution followed suit.

Do Jewish people get to bring their 'whole selves' to work? Or gender critical women? Or socially conservative ethnic minorities? Apparently not.
Let's just say it... In 2026, 'inclusion' masks misogyny and racism. Links ⬇️

These women showed up and took a stand for women's sports and female athletes. They were surrounded by 20,000 people who opposed their message. And they did it anyway. For the girls.
Because being visible matters.
It normalizes a total normal viewpoint: women's sports are for women.
Thank you for giving me a platform @FaulknerFocus!
More than anything the trans trend movement has been an asymmetric propaganda warfare of ideas.
My “Save Women’s Sports” action at the @ThornsFC game was largely to give voice to the voiceless like the Camas 12 who walked off the field rather than being forced to compete unfairly with a boy.

Interview with the neuropsychologist Professor Sallie Baxendale on why an “absence of evidence” really matters in science:

Oh! It's liking having the actual BBC back. The interview with Professor Sallie Baxendale starts at 19.40. She is asked sensible questions, in a normal way. Thank-you @BBCRadio4.

Yep. Baxendale's interview is in the direct play UK version in the OP post above, or collected together in 4 clips in this post nitter.gq/treesey/status/2114975…

Unfortunately, you can completely clean up a river in Bali, and two weeks later it will be full of trash, because plastic is not the problem. The pollution is the problem, and the polluters are the problem. This is a cultural issue, an education issue, and an infrastructure issue.
I’ve been saying for years that we should build waste-to-energy plants in island places like Bali that don’t have a lot of land. It would solve two problems: it would get rid of the pollution, and it would provide energy. That sounds like a win-win to me!
I’m glad to hear that Bali has its first waste-to-energy plant under construction.

Chase Strangio fights for child transition because without it, "how do we get a generation of trans youth to survive, to organize for liberation?”
She wants to initiate teens into the -- uh -- ideologically intense club she's a leader of so she can have more control over the Democratic party. "Organize for liberation" means they're all going to vote as the elders dictate.
Here's Strangio's fellow trans lawyer trying to intimidate the Dems:
