RIP Graham Greene……I’ve been watching him on TV and in the movies since I was a young teenager. Almost 50 years of great work.

Really incredible story unraveling in this thread, where Amazon and other sites have seemingly been able to sell an academic textbook that was withdrawn in 2021 and never actually printed or published, without the knowledge of the press, editors or contributors. Something has gone deeply wrong!
Hi Chloe,
This is news to me (and to my editor at Routledge.) I'm shocked to find this out. I assume that this is somehow a pirated edition. Does it include the section on Neurodiversity? Part VIII?

"Beach Haven is Trump's Tower".
I had no idea such a song existed until five minutes ago, when my friend Mike Collett casually mentioned that "some pals and I were talking about Woody Guthrie at lunch the other day, and…."
Good Lord.

Today’s cuts to our health infrastructure are going to save us money the same way that removing your brain makes you lose weight.

Yesterday I wrote my MP urging Canada to stop sharing any intelligence information with the US, as their actions indicate they are a security threat to our country. I urged discussing with other members to kick them out of Five Eyes. Now I'm really, really glad I sent it.

More indoor cat deaths from H5N1 linked to raw poultry diets.
Cats from 2 separate households in Oregon euthanized bc of severe H5N1 infection. Virus found in the cats' diets, and then in unopened packages from retail.
Solid link to the diet.

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!
Okay what is going on here. Are the accounts at a private banking entity? Does the federal government have direct debit permission set up? So many questions as to how Treasury instructed this payment. (Via NY Post’s Craig McCarthy)

* Dial (202) 224-3121
* Enter zip code
* Leave voicemail
* Say “My name is ___, I’m a constituent in [town]. (If clinician/scientist, say so)
“The NIH freeze harms research and patients and must be lifted immediately.”
Be brief. Staffers tally all calls. Go! ✅

NIH funding supports the vast majority of all biomedical research in the United States. Virtually every advance in American medicine and biological science comes from NIH. This is a blow against American science.

Trump’s admin has not only shut down ALL communications & release of any scientific info from HHS, but they’ve placed a freeze on hiring & an indefinite ban on travel. And, they abruptly cancelled important meetings such as grant review panels which award #BlueSky #MedSky
