Media Watch thread Pt1: Media produced spin about Joanna Lumley from an article by @WalesOnline published online 3:40am. She never contacted any of the hunger strikers or anyone on the Gurkha Satyagraha team (BGSUSC)formally or informally before, during or after the hunger strike 
News outlets got carried away with the story without verifying anything with connected with Gurkha Satyagraha or Gurkha organisations. The articles also reported that the hunger strikers belonged to ‘Support Our Gurkhas’, a facebook group run by lovely British public supporters
This article also contains an inaccuracy. Joanna Lumley never once visited the protest site in 2021. She did in 2013 at Gyanraj Rai’s first hunger strike but this is not clear @thehimalayan. Her 'statement' of pleas to Boris Johnson was not published as press releases for media
This is your daily pension announcement: The Pension War Room™️ notes that a new AIMCO CEO has been appointed! And, with the oldest PR technique, this news is announced at the same time as the bad news. Distract from the bad news! #AbLeg #handsoffmypension
In fact, I wonder how Evan Siddall feels about having these two announcements sandwiched together. I have never met Evan. I know him by reputation. Several mutual acquaintances have phoned me this AM to vouch for him as a stand-up guy. #AbLeg

A couple of thoughts:
1. As expected, someone who is tight with Mark Wiseman.
2. Evan is apparently super tight with Mark Carney. I thought that would disqualify him from the job. #AbLeg #handsoffmypension

So folks wanted a #journalclub on the @JAMAPediatrics paper on #epidurals and #autism. Ok......here we go!
1. Let's review the intro first. Beyond conjecture, they offer scant data to justify their study which was an animal study (ref 5). They say 'standard clinical doses of LAs 👇produce neurotoxic effects & altered neurobeh devlpment in monkeys.'
These aren't standard doses. We use in fact substantially lower concentrations & doses of epidural local anesthetics. Plus, this small study in non-laboring monkeys included multiple behav outcomes. So high likelihood of chance finding. Also, anyone know if monkeys get ASD??
Hi Rumpus. Hi Hope. This term has been used by disability activists & scholars for quite some time now and it would be great if this essay was updated to acknowledge that.
I recommend checking out Alison Kafer’s book Feminist Queer Crip and @ehlastigirl’s essay “6 Ways of Looking at Crip Time” available here: dsq-sds.org/article/view/5…
And another from @queerfutures_ : queerfutures.com/sundaysentimen…
