I don't turn off replies ever. But on X, a vortex of right wing bile and imagined violence, I do turn off random replies from people I don't know or follow. Look at replies to this (when I forgot to do) and you'll see why.

It takes ages to block the bigots

Six years ago, Yaxley Lennon harassed Byline writers Mike Stuchbery and Tim Fenton so badly that they eventually left the country. (He also promised to pay me a visit!)

Anyone condoning these kinds of tactics doesn't believe in a free press. It's a license for thuggery.

Is @Dominic2306 still in contempt of Parliament?
Yes.

For refusing to appear before a parliamentary inquiry into fake news and disinformation.

The entire West is engaged in the exact same war as Ukraine; it is just most acutely kinetic there. Every day it continues, the front spreads — to Europe, the US, NATO — and becomes more kinetic. To save the West, help Ukraine fight Russia. No other option exists.

The situation surrounding today’s Russian aviation losses over Leningrad Oblast is getting more and more interesting.

Russian aviation-linked sources are now reporting the loss of three aircrews, with seven personnel killed in total.

Losing three aircrews, seven people in total, in the air during a single incident so deep in the rear is absolutely staggering.

Hopefully, more details about what exactly happened will emerge over time.

We estimate ad spend alone to be a minimum of 5 million dollars. Our estimate is based on KNOWN provable exposures so is an absolute minimum. The real total includes web ads we can't count, operational costs for three years- almost certainly in the tens of millions of dollars

I remember back in 2023 when the most popular posts on Facebook about Russell Brand were conspiracy theories saying the claims against him were because of his 'anti-establishment' views.

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

The Russian army is now on track to lose 71,000 soldiers in the month of November, a +30% increase over October's record 54,000.

Stunning numbers..

Lord Simon Woolley who supported Prof Jason Arday before he was found dead in August following a media frenzy says he ‘still feels unsafe’. Speaking to Byline Times he says, ‘The disproportionate scrutiny will continue.I’m worried that it’s not done yet.”https://t.co/A7wAcFb5nO

[Hardeep Matharu @Hardeep_Matharu]

Simon Woolley said he hopes the media will reflect after Arday's death – that "those who feed off this as meat & drink will ask themselves: is this really good for society? Black & brown against white, working-class of colour against working-class white… We're better than that"

[Hardeep Matharu @Hardeep_Matharu]

Simon Woolley on what happened to Arday: "I did say Jason was hounded to his death: it's just a matter of fact. Jason was neurodiverse, he wasn't mentally ill. But the mental illness came from being shockingly hounded."

[Hardeep Matharu @Hardeep_Matharu]

Simon Woolley on Arday's death: "I didn't mention race, unlike Cambridge's Chancellor Chris Smith – who said it was a 'racist feeding frenzy'. He was more explicit. No pushback. I used a well-known metaphor of public lynching & was slaughtered for 'not being fit' for this role"

[Hardeep Matharu @Hardeep_Matharu]

"A black person such as myself could not call out what happened to Jason Arday without it being twisted into 'Simon Woolley said you're all murderers' in the media"

Simon Woolley: "There's a broader question across our academic institutions that overly-scrutinise us in the roles they asked us to come into because they wanted our acumen, talent, decency, and energy; and then, in the next breath, set traps and make allegations and accusations"

[Hardeep Matharu @Hardeep_Matharu]

Simon Woolley on media commentary that he was not 'fit to lead' a Cambridge college after calling Jason Arday's death a "lynching": "I am not judged by the same standard. We're not valued the same. We can't speak an undeniable truth. It has no validity. In fact, it's weaponised"

[Hardeep Matharu @Hardeep_Matharu]

Simon Woolley on Jason Arday's death: "It was a tragedy entirely avoidable... Some of us feel – and I know Jason did – that we would be happiest with zero margin for error, but if you have less than zero it's: 'you're a problem, prove yourself – prove you're not guilty'."

[Hardeep Matharu @Hardeep_Matharu]

Simon Woolley: "It still feels unsafe. The disproportionate scrutiny will continue. I hope not. Not just for me but for many black people in positions of power... I'm worried it's not done yet. But being successful for the students & for the college is our best response"

@BTimberley The Bylines Network was so appalled by Elon Musk’s distortion of X they decided to stop posting here several years ago. That’s all

@Gegam245074 In the 79 years since transistors appeared, there is no revolutionary leap in the underlying mechanism. It’s the same circuit switching power off and on. Every modification is just an add-on or extension. So our experience with electronics will stay at the same level.
