It’s a message we keep hearing: tweaks at the margins will not save NHS dentistry. @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social rightly noted this service is at death’s door. But we are yet to see changes capable of resuscitating the patient. 👉 www.bda.org/news-and-opi...

If you want to turn off Gmail's AI features, go into Settings then in the General tab, scroll down to "Smart features and personalization" about half-way down and untick the box next to "Turn on smart features and personalization". That should grey out all the other AI-related options on the page.

The Brexit Curse: Brexit cost UK £27bn in lost trade in first two years. British exports fell by 6.4%, imports by 3.1%. OBR forecast a 15% slump in trade, leading to a 4% reduction in national income, over the longer term. Self-inflicted harm. Rejoin the EU. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Absolutely go f**k yourself. Autism is not a "get out of jail free card" for being an arsehole. Do you know how hard so many autistic individuals work to fit in, to be treated "normally"? This type of crap makes it harder for all of us. Being autistic doesn't give you a pass to be a predator.

It's about time that driven grouse shooting was banned! We have had enough of the illegal persecution and killing of upland wildlife and the devastation of upland habitats just to enable the shooting of Red Grouse. Please sign the petition and follow @wildjustice.bsky.social‬ #essexbirding
