Here's K.Badenoch, who thinks an autism diagnosis entails "economic advantages and protections". She also queries providing school transport for autistic kids & has no idea what neurodiversity/divergence are, and why they have abs nothing to do with, say, anxiety. Pls retweet

Journalists are meant to speak truth to power. That's our job. But what do you do when that power is your own news org?
This thread (professional suicide note?) is about @guardian & @ObserverUK's future. Because it turns out you can’t believe everything you read on a poster..

"Currently most art isn’t about excellence. The arts have become the cheap indulgence late capitalism buys in the hope of getting out of its material purgatory more quickly."

‘Departed Joys - be my bride and leave the heather’ more layers upon layers from old photos. I’m not sure about the term ‘old photos’, it seems strange to use it when everything about them is part of a present in some way or another.

Really? REALLY?? We start alone, feeling our way. Writers, artists, composers. From an idea, a groping in the dark, a little funding comes huge success. This is @CreativeScots and @scotgov at their worst.

My cartoon for this week’s @GuardianBooks
ALT A diagram of a complex mechanism for readers. The caption explains “when the quantity of unread books reaches a specific weight, the mechanism restricts the reader’s ability to add to their stockpile until the backlog has been reduced.” The “restriction” is achieved by placing a cloche over the reader’s credit card, library card and bookshop loyalty card, and smashing their internet router with a mallet.

I investigate social media at the BBC. I've repeatedly asked you for an interview. You accuse the media of not holding power to account. I want to ask you questions about your site and its role fanning the flames of UK riots. Will you speak to me?@elonmusk bbc.com/news/articles/cd1e8d…

This was burnt down last night. The real firestarters are right now comfortably chatting about it in their Gated Trumptons. The worst of them will write a playfully controversial column about it.
