A big talking point of climate change skeptics is “…but the 1930s were hot!”
It’s true. They are right. 1930s summers were super hot in the US!
But zoom out, and most of the globe was not.

The main barriers to nature restoration are a lack of political leadership & a lack of vision. Denmark lack neither.

As someone who works in the NHS in this very area an interesting and thoughtful assessment of recovery post operatively. Surgeons I work with have frequently said the surgery is only half of the story. The rest is the work done afterwards
Part 1: Pre-op.

A fascinating side-by-side comparison of NHS and private hip and knee replacement surgery – from pre-op prep to discharge.

if you’re considering it, this sharing of first-hand experience can help set expectations from NHS and private surgery.
The truth on orthopaedic replacement: Preparation, surgery and discharge
Facing hip or knee replacement is a daunting prospect. Sharing first-hand experience can help set expectations from NHS and private surgery

My #thameswaterbill just went up by 37%. And why do I pay over 8 months and have 4 months off. Buggers up my budgeting and me thinks they are getting the money sooner…

🧵 I want to follow up this earlier thread by examining why the USA finds itself in the state it does at the moment; the process of disordered discourse capturing state institutions and how it inevitably results in a slide towards authoritarianism, a process we're seeing unfold before our very eyes.
What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

Attended training this morning which reinforced an instinctive feeling about “niceness/rudeness”

Really interesting info about how rudeness affects quality of care. I also wonder if this could be extrapolated to non medical settings @grumpymackem

Having listened to the news tonight about #lucyletby and her fathers comments/“threats” what would be a reasonable change to stop potential bullying behaviour in these interactions? E.g. referrals to GMC. Clauses in contracts about “representatives”? I don’t have an answer but do wonder….

Had a tech bro tell me this morning that I need to go away and learn about the Trust Thermocline, to understand why emotive products like Twitter fail slowly then suddenly.

I pointed out I am fully aware of the Trust Thermocline. On account of being the chap who created it

Word of the day is ‘catchfart’, from the 17th century, used of a servant who followed their master or mistress a little too closely.
In today’s terms, a catchfart is someone who fawns upon the boss or who follows the political wind.
