Best tip ICYMI: Use " -AI " (without quotation marks) at the end of your google search to disable AI results for that search.
*Better yet, don't use google @googleoficial.bsky.social at all cause they're evil genocide enablers :)

Do No Harm*
Modern medicine continues to fail women. It isn’t just sexism — it’s a failure of the Hippocratic Oath’s first principle.

Btw the one of maybe two queer-friendly charities on the ground, GEPA, has had to halt operations because of the phasing out of support by the US-based Rainbow Railroad. And we can all guess why that is happening... (most likely not the org's fault)

Do I know anyone (who knows anyone) who writes for a big press outlet on LBGTQIA human rights issues, especially worldwide? I'm trying to draw attention to the plight of a group of people in South Sudan who are facing grave danger and additional barriers to aid because of their identity.

Wim Vanrie (Ghent University): “The conviction that generative AI is inevitable leads to it creeping in everywhere, and this eventually makes it seem inevitable. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. But there’s nothing inevitable about it. What’s happening is the result of specific choices.”
Belgian AI scientists are advocating *against* the use of AI in academia. “If independent thinking is no longer encouraged at university, where would it?” apache.be/2025/10/24/b...

Consider reading my new piece on the history and science of the nasogenital cure! Incidentally, that's not exactly what the theory was and not quite what the episode reveals. Bizarre tales sound rather less bizarre in context - possibly, our own tales in our own context, too.
One woman’s nose and two men’s hubris and a bizarre tale of 19th century science gone wrong. This nasogenital theory tried to link nasal shape to sexual health and reveals how medicine can be shaped more by bias than fact buff.ly/TwZjyJ6

This is an excellent article about AI. It's particularly nice to see them highlighting how irresponsible the lightning-fast adoption of AI in education has been. Has anything so new and untested ever been allowed into our classrooms so quickly before? I am struggling to think of an example.

Another critical moment for the assisted dying bill, the most intensely scrutinised legislation this Parliament has ever seen. What's clear is the status quo is unworkable. It leads to unnecessary suffering, painful suicides, and people forced to flee their country for control over their deaths.

Last weekend, around seven million Americans joined the nationwide “No Kings” protests, calling out Trump.
Why does this matter for Scotland? Because US-style Christian nationalism is creeping into our country too, and we all have a duty to call it out. Here are some of our favourite No Kings signs

As an old (but not conservative) person, I totally endorse this. Despite everything, if the Conolly vote does not come out, Humphries will win. So get out there and keep encouraging others to. The "she has it in the bag" narrative is designed to make Connolly voters stay home. Don't fall for it.
With 72 hours to go until #Aras25 polling opens, a reminder - old, conservative people vote.
If you want something different to what they want, you need to do the same, and tell everyone you know to do it too.
Make a plan to vote.
Make sure others do too.
Then go vote.
Nothing else matters.

The hematologist Oswald H. Robertson pioneered the idea of "blood banks" in WWI by packing glass jars of citrated blood from universal donors in an ice-filled chest that he had constructed from ammunition cases. He convinced countless others to donate blood during the war.
