Congratulations to Reform on having been more successful than any other party at finding suckers who are prepared to give £25 to a private company owned by two rich grifters in exchange for no say at all over how it is run.

The Hunter Biden pardon is a disgrace. Everyone knows that if you want your crimes ignored in America, you have to run for President.

Saw an old friend last night. Back in 2016 our conversations got a little dicy when he became something of a fervent Brexiter...

In pub he suddenly volunteers to me: "Brexit was a shit idea wasn't it. I mean - a really shit idea."

I think we may be entering the time frame where people accept that.

Seeing a lot of news outlets reporting on this petition. For those interested in influence operations and deception, the petition system is so easy to manipulate.
🚨 Experiment. In 30 seconds I successfully signed the petition calling for a general election using the name "Keir Starmer II", a burner email address, & a random postcode shared by some grifter on X. Democratic processes shouldn't be this easy to manipulate. #astroturfing

1/ We're experiencing a huge influx of users, and with that, a predictable uptick in harmful content posted to the network.

As a result, for some very high-severity policy areas like child safety, we recently made some short-term moderation choices to prioritize recall over precision.

Our potential new NIH director wrote a long fake review of WWTI only to later admit he never read it.

He called me “insane” and “unhinged.”

This is what I got for accurately quoting him.

If Dr. Marty Makary were to arrive here, he would be reminded of this on a frequent basis.

Hence he will not come here.

The earliest surviving quality photographic portrait of an identifiable person was taken this month in 1839. A self portrait by Robert Cornelius.

It's the world’s first successful selfie.

The debate around the use of physician associates in the NHS is certain to be debated on this app as it was over in the other place

Last month I published this long read after speaking to Merseyside medics about their concerns

Mersey doctors slam 'irresponsible' use of staff in the NHS
A number of doctors have spoken to the ECHO as the row over physician associate roles in the NHS intensifies

Highly recommend reading this piece on the increasingly widespread use of PAs to replace doctors in the NHS. It’s an issue that horrifies many of us.
