Mashup Score: 0The doomed politics of MAGA Romantics - 29 day(s) ago
For a few days recently, a young American writer named Mana Afsari attained the status many writers secretly hope for — she wrote a serious article that went seriously viral among serious people. This was a little surprising, since many of those serious people were Left-of-centre writers, and the article was a largely sympathetic portrait of a bunch of Washington-based young men who love Trump. It’s also surprising because she calls these young men “Romant ics”. You’d think that throwing “Romantic” into

Mashup Score: 23The truth about private health scans - 1 month(s) ago
Private health checks used to be the preserve of wealthy CEOs. But with NHS waiting lists stretching into years, Neko Health has stepped in for the masses. In a blaze of publicity, the Swedish company has set up a new clinic in Marylebone, offering tests billed as “a health check for your future self”. The clinic is Insta-friendly, offering minimalist chic and sleek photogenic gadgetry. All curved cream chairs, pastel walls and softly lit scanning rooms, it seems more like a spa than a medical centre,

Mashup Score: 0Who verifies BBC Verify? - 2 month(s) ago
On 6 August, at the height of the riots that swept Britain after the Southport murders, BBC Verify revealed “one of the most shocking” outbreaks of violence: a racist attack on Humberside. According to Verify, “an angry mob of white men surrounded and attacked a car with men of Asian heritage inside.” Some of the attackers “threw bricks and shouted racist slurs. One performed the Nazi salute.” The Verify team deployed its OSINT (open source intelligence) skills and facial recognition software to compare

Mashup Score: 14How Britain shames its elders - 3 month(s) ago
Christmas is a chance to end a miserable year on a high. That means raucous office piss-ups, anarchic family get-togethers, and impish toddlers greedily unpacking their stockings. Not so for our elderly, though. A shocking number spend the festive season entirely alone. Christmas simply serves as a painful reminder of past happiness and companionship as the spectre of death looms ever larger. In the UK, we don’t do well by our elderly relatives. We make their final journeys about ourselves: the financial

Mashup Score: 0How humans became microplastic - 4 month(s) ago
This past summer, I spent a morning hunting for shrimp and prawns on a remote beach in Scotland. It was the kind of ritual interaction with nature that modern people have long prized: wading through tidal pools at the edge of a rough ocean, I felt I was stepping beyond the margins of the human world, into some purer, wilder element. And yet, as I sat sifting and cleaning the tiny crustaceans I’d gathered, I struggled to suppress a disturbing thought. It is very likely those organisms contained microscopic

Mashup Score: 2America's new caste system - 4 month(s) ago
I’ve been teaching Tocqueville’s Democracy in America for a very long time. But only recently have I come to appreciate some of his deepest assumptions and their implications about the whole democratic experiment. In particular I’ve been thinking about the opening two paragraphs of the book. I had always rushed past them, since they seemed anodyne. But Tocqueville mastered the art of making the boldest of claims in an off-handed way. These paragraphs are far more radical than they first appear. They’ve

Mashup Score: 2554RFK Jr will disrupt the US medical establishment - 4 month(s) ago
Last night, Donald Trump signalled a seismic shift in American science and public health. Fulfilling his campaign promise, he endorsed Robert F. Kennedy Jr as secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the largest federal department with a $1.7 trillion annual budget and over 80,000 employees. Kennedy’s statement in response vows […]Read More…

My new article with @KevinBardosh in @unherd. The medical establishment lost public trust over its covid failure. Now it smears @RobertKennedyJr because he threatens their interests. They should instead support reform to make medicine trustworthy again. https://t.co/BdL4XF2WsT
