There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

Nothing like doing my rare return to social media and remembering why I took myself off it during the Great Mental Health Crash Edinburgh University caused. Like, it's fun to catch up on the cool people I like but also my mental health does not need the extra harm of being terminally online.

Lots of universities are starting to resemble football clubs that have no academy - some other unnamed institution will do all the professional training, won’t they?
The only difference is, in football managers are sacked for failing, not the team.

The last survivor of the Crimean War died in 2004.
"Timothy" spent 40 years in the Navy. After retirement, having moved in with the Earl of Devon, she revealed she was a girl.
She would wander round his garden wearing a sign that said. "My name is Timothy. I am very old. Pease do not pick me up".

They're calling him the most French man in history
A French cyclist survived for three days after a horrendous 130-foot fall into a ravine, kept alive by the bottles of red wine he had in his shopping bag, police said.

Disabled people can’t “just move” to escape fascism.
Moving requires resources, money and health that most of us don’t have.
Many countries won’t accept disabled people, especially if they have universal healthcare.
People are trapped, so we must fight for them.

One of my favourite Doctor Who facts is that the 5th Doctor opened a restaurant.
Not just that, but spent many years turning it into something recognized as one of the best places to eat in the history of the known universe.
