BAFTA and BBC Let the N-Word Air on Tape Delay β€” Michael B. Jordan, Delroy Lindo, the Tourette’s Community and Viewers Deserve an Apology A Tourette’s-related outburst of the N-word aired during the BAFTAs despite tape delay. Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo are owed an apology.

I think this article (from a black man and a father to a child with similar disabilities) is a good take on the incident.

The BBC operates a 'broadcast delay' for exactly this reason.

They left the slur in.

But they used the delay to edit out someone saying "Free Palestine" in their speech.

I really appreciate this TikToker with Tourette syndrome, Shay, for taking the time to educate so many of us (including me) about her disability and coprolalia in light of what happened at the BAFTAs with John Davidson when Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage.

I learned a lot.

Years ago when I was living in a gated complex, there was a power cut. The gates wouldn't open and I was locked inside. My mam felt sorry for me, so she called over, bought me doughnuts and passed them through the bars to me. One of the many reasons why I'm really not a fan of gates communities.

Yes, FionnΓ‘n, let’s talk about shame and the Catholic Church.

Let’s talk about ALL of it.

And I'm not referring to anyone specific here as this hasn't happened recently to me but I know it irks a lot of people.

Yea, I can imagine. I haven't been brave enough to try but it is an important question because the vague offer of help really isn't helpful.

Them: "Let me know if there's anything I can do to help".

Me (in my head): "Why don't you tell me what you have the capacity to do and I will let you know if I need that help".

The Ombudsman for the Children’s Office has pushed back on the idea of a social media ban for under 16s. The measure had been floated by figures including the TΓ‘naiste, following the introduction of a similar ban in Australia.

Rumour has it that January has the same number of days as July.

If you hold a degree from an Israeli university, you can work in Israel's education system.

If you hold a degree from a Palestinian university, you are banned from working in Israel's education system.

Not so complicated after all. It's called apartheid.

Indonesia blocks Musk’s Grok chatbot due to risk of pornographic content Move comes after governments and regulators from Europe to Asia have condemned the AI tool and some have opened inquiries into sexualised content

Indonesia is the first country to block access to xAI’s Grok due to its ability to generate CSAM and deepfake porn.

It’s quite disappointing that this is the only meaningful action that’s been taken after several days of this issue coming to light.
