Hampshire's top order is an absolute disgrace this season - collectively and individually, they are just failing every match.

And yet they are all guaranteed their place.

Hard to see how we salvage the season, if failure has no consequence...

Am worried about @hampshirecricket.bsky.social this season - so far off the standard, with the bat, that could easily drop a division in the Championship, and fail abysmally in the 50 and 20 over games too.

Don't understand picking exactly the same failing too order, every single match...

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked,

"If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?"

Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

Nice article about some of the work we do @bennettoxford.bsky.social and @oxprimarycare.bsky.social, expanding to cover Mental Health data, and to improve secure access to data more widely, thanks to new support from @wellcometrust.bsky.social

What better way to start 2025, than an 11AM pre-Pompey beer... a 12.4% stout... the Random Cans game has NOT been kind!!

I've written about what dying typically looks like - not as a 'pro' or 'anti' AD piece, but in the spirit of confronting a taboo.

We've lost the easy familiarity with the patterns of dying that existed when death typically occurred in people’s own homes.

Let's talk about it 🙏

Maybe because middle class women of a certain age are in a position to call out this shit without fear of losing a salary they need. And can do it on behalf of young women starting out in their careers who are just as sick of this shit but can’t say anything because they need to earn a living.

This sounds excellent!
a friend sent me a fan edit of The Hobbit trilogy that simply follows the book. I am definitely going to watch it.

A great two days!
That was a FANTASTIC final day of our OpenSAFELY Community Symposium

Why not follow some of the OpenSAFELY superstar researchers on Bluesky?!

The #OpenSAFELY Symposium afternoon kicks off with @kamranabbasi.bsky.social from @bmj.com talking about open science, evidence based medicine, and the importance of sharing analytic code.

How #OpenSAFELY works! Dave Evans, Steven Maude, Tom Ward, Simon Davy, Catherine Stables and Freddie Longfoot from the @bennettoxford.bsky.social with another excellent session!

Oh yes good point from Brian - sadly some people didn't make it here, thanks to Storm Bert. But that means we do have some spaces, if you'd like to come and join us.
If you are near Marble Arch in London - please drop in!

We have 10 spare spaces due to a broken railway system !
Getting started at our Community Symposium this morning, Ben Goldacre taking the stage. Lots to share and discuss today!

Our @bennettoxford.bsky.social #OpenSAFELY Symposium is underway, with @bengoldacre.bsky.social kicking things off!

Heading to London today rather than very early tomorrow, for the @bennettoxford.bsky.social Conference, seemed like such a good idea, until I read the words "Rail Replacement Bus"...

Obviously no sane person actually DOES that, so now catching the stupidly slow train via Beastleigh instead!

This is great - I hadn't even clocked that I could have more options.

Popular with Friends is immediately an excellent addition! :-)
Which of Bluesky's many feeds do you use as your default?

I go back and forth between "Discover" and "Popular with Friends".

Lovely to have escaped from The Upside Down, to the friendly, respectful, interesting and entertaining place, that #Bluesky seems to be :-)

If you've been wondering where I went: my team in Oxford (60 of us!) build beautiful tools for NHS data. We help researchers work on the whole nation's GP records while protecting - provably - everyone's privacy. It's big potatoes!
