This is the kind of stuff: http://www.elsewhere.org/pomo/ I started reading up on it and got as far as Derrida before deciding my time could be better spent not bothering.

I haven't seen it myself, but I would imagine it involves a pack of animals viciously slinging shit about.

I came across Boghossian a couple of weeks ago. The parallel course to my presentations course at a local university is Cultural Studies, which I actually foolishly assumed was the study of different cultures. I've recently discovered that it's a marxist post-structuralist post-modernist blah...

Surely we've got enough models from the top of these stories for an ME Girls Calendar 2019 now? One symptom of ME which seems to have been overlooked so far is that it makes models collapse back into bed after their exhausting morning beauty routine, raising their hands to their fully made-up...

CBT to reduce stress? So why retweet?

It also implies that it was perfectly reasonable not to believe us until now, as this is the first evidence blah blah

Because they have more time to devote to politics than people who are busy getting on with something useful?

Feigning self-deprecation is just something he does every now and again.

We'll be lucky if it's just that. The other possibility is that it's the prelude to something very unpleasant. Thanks, I'll quote that next time someone thinks they're helping by telling me to have a "mind like water".

Thanks, I forgot about the comments section, which is full of nutters. Must copy this exchange here before it's removed:

We all know we are ill despite the absence of obvious biomarkers, as would anyone who had ever listened to us. We have known for decades. Nobody ever had any business putting about a "no abnormalities = no problem" narrative in the first place. And in fact they didn't, they said "no...

I'll go along with that. How many ways can it be taken apart? I'll start with small sample size.

Looks like either Carol Monaghan or Westminster Hall are now officially "emotional". NICE is a watchdog is it? Well that explains why we have all been robbed of so many years while NICE was asleep or chewing on a tasty bone someone chucked it. BBC article headed by a picture of a typical ME...

How lucky people with other illnesses are that at least they don't have to listen to such drivel. "I don't think cancer's really working for me, so I've decided to ask it a few questions and make it go away". FFS.

Are they doing a follow-up study to show that CBT can reduce death and injury?

34 comments, all supportive so far, the only guy who wrote a silly one has deleted it again. Excellent article. A pity journalists have to be personally affected before they start writing sensible articles about ME. I wouldn't wish ME on anyone, but it's a sad fact that after decades of...

Nice work @Webdog

Wow, that looks impressive.

I see my good friend Amol has contributed an analysis to this article: https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-46486707 in which he writes about Question Time: There is his favourite buzzword again - "editorial integrity". Despite his tendency to dictional obfuscation, the paucity of his...

What the f. does "medically ill" mean? Is it another phrase made up by the BPS brigade so they can say "of course you're medically ill, your therapist understands that, we don't distinguish between the mind and body here, it's all medical ..."
