Politicians believe that avoiding answering a question is a great skill - when in fact it just highlights what low calibre idiots we are being ruled by. Starmer not able to admit trump would not support de-escalation at the G7 a recent example. Utterly pathetic.

Matt Fry on C4 news just now πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ A reporter with a brain and integrity, not many of them left.

Another day, another study that made me go through the emotional ride of, I should share this with family with young children, then remembering they don't want to know, then imagining them dismissing it, then getting angry about that. All by myself. Every time.

Just got an email from the water company with tips on saving water. Couldn't see - stop siphoning all the money you get from customers to offshore investors and invest it in improving the infrastructure - like you contractually committed to.

The problem with articles about Long COVID is they look at numbers of people with LC & risk factors, but by definition, only consider the relatively rapid onset, (largely autoimmune?) type of LC. The other, equally worrying categories haven't started manifesting yet & likely affect most people.

So, everyone clear after today that Starmer = Farage = (whoever is Tory leader today) ..... all odious, none stand for anything, have any core values, will do or say anything for a bit of power and money. Utterly pathetic.

If I mention any recent development, whether that day's US horror, climate science, COVID reality, Gaza genocide, what's happening to sick & disabled people.... pretty much every person I know reacts negatively. "Talk about something else, not everything is gloom and doom". This is how doom happens.

Explained to some friends the war on science and research in the US. "They wouldn't do that, why would you do that". When I explained it had already happened & why, was told I have a bleak view of the world. No-one prepared to be sent any links. No idea how we fix this.

The trans toilet war shows how easily Farage could end up in power. Per excellent BMA, there is no debate here, gender isn't binary, these arguments aren't genuine. Yet this entirely fake narrative is dominating the news cycle with virtually no pushback & a hate campaign has become the majority view

The problem when Trump says anything, is that all you learn is what the last person he spoke to wanted him to say.

If you work in healthcare, would you say your practice was welcoming and accommodating to people with disabilities or health issues? If someone asks you to wear a respirator for their appointment, do you say "of course, absolutely no problem" Do you need to review your earlier answer?

Wow. If only there was some way the practice could keep it's staff safe.

Zelenski, the only person so far not to cower in the face of the orange toddler πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

OK confession, I'm losing my patience with dentists who say "no" when all we asked was would the dentist wear a FFP3 for the appointment please. From now on they will get this email.

πŸ“’8 new dentists added to Safe InsideπŸ“’ places happy to switch to FFP3 masks if asked. Note these aren't COVID aware businesses (bar the odd exceptions they don't exist), just decent people who will respond to us asking for adjustments. Send in any good places you know.
