Just saw a med ed thing about normal saline and apparently "it is a fluid used by the devil and in hyponatraemia" is not the correct answer.

The whole 'Al Carns was in the army thing' is kind of hilarious. Similar vibe to when you hear that a politician is a doctor.
Like, being a doctor doesn't automatically make you smart as all healthcare professionals, many patients and crucially doctors will tell you.

A man killed his own daughter over an argument about Trump.
She asked: “How would you feel if I had been sexually assaulted?”
Her father replied that he had two other daughters so it would not upset him that much
Then he shot her.
There’s something deeply wrong with MAGA.

Having recently come off resident night shifts, with nights every other week for the past 2½ years, I am realising how drained I was.
I mean, I knew I felt shattered, and that it was unsustainable, but it is taking me longer to recover and recalibrate than I thought it would.

Well after seeing an AI ad about 8 year old getting melted gold poured on her head by her sister, I same the same shitty AI-gen 8 year old with AI-gen voiceover in an ad for a story about her surviving being thrown to piranhas by her father.

I find it interesting that the lesson many liberal/progressive friends learn from this is "people are stupid, all is lost" rather than "effective campagining must go further than shouting facts at people".
How in the addicted to streaming movies did I miss this film when it was first released? What a painfully funny look at where we are in this very moment. (Netflix)

Although I'm under no illusion that Duolingo scores correlate perfectly with CEFR (this is ostensibly lower end of A2), I'm impressed with my ability to get this far on grammar, context, yet astonishingly little vocab having not studied German since my AS-Level in 2003.

There's a lot of responses with "replaced by who?".
Rayner, Streeting, Miliband, even Dan Jarvis *ahem* Al Carns and his leaderly chin are at this point better options.
Sure, they *may* fail, maybe even probably fail but that's still better than the near-certainty of Starmer continuing to fail.

First stage of denial: shoot the messenger.
There's a firing squad on Bluesky, aiming at anyone stating the blinking obvious: that Starmer needs to go ASAP if Labour is to have any chance of recovery before 2029.

The UK: Less than two years into office, is this the end for this Labour Government?
Japan: Okay but what if we try just ONE MORE term of Liberal Democratic Party government? Yes we know we're on our fourth decade of economic stagnation and they've been in charge 90% of that but what's the harm?
