The GOP candidate for Minnesota Governor, Chris Madel, has quit the race. “I can’t look my daughters in the eye and say I’m running as a Republican, when they’re pulling over Hispanics and Asians because of the color of the skin... I did not sign up for that.”

Noting that a patient is "confused" just isn't enough.
Don't assume any cognitive impairment is dementia - it may be delirium.
A brief conversation with the family can provide critical information.

Great day out on Sat at Vale Park for the PVFC 150th anniversary fixture 🤍🖤.
With some predictability at present, the result wasn’t what Vale fans hoped for - but the comradeship, the warmth and the community spirit was palpable on the afternoon.
Well done to all involved for their work on this🙏

Not a tiny fragment, nor a single sherd of pottery, but a full, voluminous Anglo-Saxon space from the 9th century at St Wystan’s in Repton, Derbyshire. The spiral columns - perhaps a memory of St Peter’s shrine. Holy air encased in stone. Betjeman’s words describe it perfectly.

Posts like these might make it seem like I'm impervious to the nightmare that is unfolding in Minneapolis, and the continuing awfulness in Gaza, Ukraine, Iran, Syria and elsewhere. I am not impervious. I'm attempting to provide light relief, but it's becoming harder. Our world is scary right now.

3. An invitation I hoped for arrived today. Very pleased.

Turkeys voting for Christmas?
A far‑right government would put the NHS at real risk, precisely what its voters don’t need.

"You can stay in Mr Tumnus's old tree house... just as long as you report any sightings directly to me!"
Genuine question: what is this supposed to mean?
I reckon almost nobody on my (London) street would know. I certainly don’t

Well well well what an interesting result at The Emirates. By my calculation 7 points dropped by Arsenal in January so far. None of the top 6 look convincing as Champoin's elect. Thoughts Association Football Blue Sky?

Kyiv, Ukraine, Friday, January 23, 2026.
Hot food is handed out to people in Kyiv after Russian attacks.
These people have worked all their lives, lived their lives, had everything worked out, they didn't ask anyone for anything.
And now they have to stand in line for a bowl of hot soup.
