Tomorrow UK's House of Lords Committee will debate Autism Act 2009 & new autism strategy. You can attend/watch below. Dangerous time: Government harmfully claims autism may be overdiagnosed & right-wing thinktank below claims children should have (harmful) behavioural therapy 1/

On Wednesday 10 June, @UKHouseofLords will debate the Autism Act 2009 Committee's report. The Committee recommended that the Government urgently deliver the new autism strategy, so it’s ready to launch when the current one expires in July 2026

Ojalá este caso sirva para llamar la atención sobre la importancia de contratar a profesionales que sepan cómo dar un buen sonido a todas las áreas de un recinto grande o pequeño sin sobrepasar los límites que están en primer lugar para proteger el oído de los asistentes.

València. @FACUA considera que la organización ha actuado con mala fe, pues siguió adelante con la ubicación del festival pese a ser conocedora de que no se podía superar los 85 dBA (horario diurno) y de 80 dB en horario nocturno. @bidorto @Rderuido facua.org/noticias/probl…

@giulio_mattioli @spectrpix I thought this was a thing in Italy too, because in Spain we do have voltios, watios, amperios, ohmios... My Italian colleagues find it funny 😅 es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltio

This demonstrates neatly that the academic community *does not need AI to hallucinate*, if there are strong incentives to do so (e.g., via funding or hype)

This has been in my experience a bigger problem than fake citations. We published 2 papers testing widespread (hyped) assumptions with empirical data, found that they don't really hold up. They both get cited to support the hyped assumption, which persists.

So I'm 36 years old and, you know, out of touch with what's going on at colleges, so maybe this is a dumb question, but did every school in the country lose their fucking minds lol. Why have all these universities baked AI into their graduation ceremonies? What fuck is going on?

@Carlos_astu_ @Rita_Maestre Hola, para tener un buen sonido en todos los puntos, la solución no es subir el volumen de los altavoces frontales (esto dañaría el oído de la gente cerca del escenario), sino distribuir más altavoces y usar direccionables. Los profesionales contratados deberían saberlo. 😬

@Rderuido En los pueblos igual, por desgracia, o incluso en medio del campo si te alquilan las casas de al lado para fiestas. Entre vehículos con escapes modificados y altavoces más potentes de lo necesario, se está normalizando invadir el lugar de descanso de los demás sin pudor.

I did not see this coming - the hantavirus outbreak shining a light on just how widespread medical misogyny remains in this day and age. Hysteria is still commonplace; it has merely changed name. Potentially fatal consequences is also not a rarity in this abominable culture.

"A French woman who tested positive for hantavirus after she was evacuated from a cruise ship reported symptoms to doctors onboard but was told it was probably just anxiety, the Spanish health minister has said." Or course. theguardian.com/world/2026/may…

Google developers significantly misstate carbon emissions of proposed UK datacentres. Just 3 will generate emissions equivalent to those of a city such as Bristol. Datacentres consume excessive amount of water/electricity, generate few permanent jobs. theguardian.com/technology/202…

The normalisation of bad quality and faulty new builds in the UK is shocking. Regulations and standards get stricter, while the outcomes don't match them.

@VickiWistow @QueerlyAutistic That's the thing, lots of people vote just wanting others to be worse, not them to be better. Same here in Spain.

@CovidSolidarit1 @1goodtern Yep, and it's not technically a fall or a rise, as the elections were in other different places, no? I think one thing is to challenge the narrative in the media now, and other to try to find comfort that can lead to dangerous complacency. :/

For those curious about why bird-watchers would go to a landfill site, Ushuaia's landfill is famous for being a place where you can watch Andean condors fighting with caracaras over human refuse.
