I think LORD OF THE RINGS being a story in which, canonically, it is entirely possible for evil to triumph in the temporal world, and in fact more likely than not that it will, but also that reality should not change the meaning of your moral values, is an underrated part of what makes it so good.

Plans to reintroduce pay deductions for partial strikes
Employers have been banned from reducing striking workers' pay since the previous Labour-led government removed that power in 2018.

Paper in this week's NEJM shows that in patients with atrial fibrillation and stable coronary artery disease, edoxaban monotherapy is superior to the combination of edoxaban plus an antiplatelet drug. Major difference was in bleeding rather than reduction in ischaemic events.

Prior to this change, which in a matter of years will make it impossible for women to access healthcare in Afghanistan, their maternal mortality rate was 620 per 100,000 live births. For reference, the rate in the US, which compares quite disfavorably with peer countries, is 22 per 100k live births.
Highest maternal death rate in the entire world!

See my earlier post about digital harassment of women being a crucial right-wing tactic.
This must be called out by MEN. Women cannot be the punching bag while guys pretend it’s not happening any longer. Young men are swimming in a digital sea of dehumanizing content. Call it out.

To state the obvious, being proud of and sharing a major accomplishment shouldn’t result in rape threats. But when the most influential accounts are filled with rampant misogyny, we should expect more of this vile behavior

Damn, NEJM is not pulling punches. As someone who has lost multiple colleagues to suicide, this hits hard. Health care organisations must do better to support their staff. It’s time to prioritise wellbeing, break the stigma, and create safer systems for everyone. #MentalHealth #Healthcare #DoBetter
