A lot has been said on two tier policing recently...but if there is one thing I recommend reading on the topic it is this 👇
So I said I would try and write something academic explaining two tier policing. Here is...

Absolutely spot on. Some of the officiating this season in the prem has been atrocious. To the point where it is difficult not to agree that certain bias are being magnified through VAR.

All day long robbed on this one. Standard of officiating in the prem is woeful.

Latest @URealists blog from our ECR (early career researchers) network. A bit of a change this time - @emmaarmstrong96 and Paul Alker on New Year resolutions. Do the personal ones court disappointment, and should we wish for bigger improvements? ultrarealists.com/new-year-n…

Excellent piece by @CraigKelly90 and @MaxHart44 on the digital afterlife of violence. In the wake of Charlie Kirk, Iryna Zarutska and others, it's important to make sense of how we consume violent acts ultrarealists.com/from-trage…

Brilliant blog on #datafication, #Harm and #Grok by @MaxHart44 on Ultrarealists.com. Well worth a read for anyone interested in AI, Zemiology, privacy or.. Fentanyl recipes!?

Thanks for sharing the blog. The recent Grok chat indexing issue arose from shared links not being restricted from search engines. xAI has addressed this by adding no-index tags and is reviewing privacy measures. The zemiological take on potential harms raises valid points for AI development.

Today ministers, the BBC and even some NGOs are saying "just put the heating on and don't worry about debt". A great indication of how many elites and those with privilege have never been without. Such detachment from real people in real life is just utterly mind-bending.

Kyla Bavin, @Lynesey89, @James_Treadwell and Max Hart explore how #AI’s true threat lies not in dramatic apocalyptic scenarios but in its subtle erosion of #WorkersRights, deepening #Inequalities, and enabling corporate #Exploitation.
