Wes Streeting? As the "workers' party" shadow health secretary, he failed to back strikes. Now, as health secretary, Streeting attacks walkouts by resident doctors. Lifesavers who earn far less than paper pusher NHS chiefs, paid £100,000-plus. Vote out the Labour villain at the next election.

I've been seeing ads for this everywhere so I just wanted to say: You *can't* learn to speak a foreign language fluently in three months. Not saying it can't be done. I'm saying YOU can't do it. Because I strapped a nano-nuke to your Broca's area and it will explode if you learn a language too fast.

There should be a universal sign for when you exit a public bathroom that says, "It was like this before I got here"

In 1846, a doctor proved handwashing could save lives.

He was mocked by the medical establishment, lost his job, and was eventually committed to an asylum. Shortly after, he was beaten to death by attendants while trying to escape.

In some ways, medicine is still kind of like this. See why:

What did dopamine do to deserve this?

cognitivewonderland....

A guest post I did for tommy Blanchard's Cognitive Wonderland blog, about the surreal vilification of a vital neurotransmitter, and how this is having negative consequences for us all.

What did dopamine do to deserve this?
It’s become alarmingly common to invoke dopamine as the root cause of so many problems. But this demonisation of a vital and versatile neurotransmitter risks causing serious consequences for us all.

There’s another new medical journal you should be aware of.

The ivermectin-promoting Independent Medical Alliance, formerly known as Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance, has launched the so-called “Journal of Independent Medicine.”

There was that game on here recently 'Name a non-Tolkien character who could resist the One Ring', and a lot of people said Kermit, which is valid.

Which led me to thinking, is there a Muppet who would be an absolute nightmare if they got hold of the One Ring?

Which led to this.
