The BBC’s front page right now. Looks like they are not trying to be conciliatory.

There may be a temptation to read headlines like this and think, perhaps we could invest a little more in caring for people, and it would both save money AND result in better outcomes.

That approach would be.... correct, actually.

Maybe we should do it.

My treatment was delayed so long I got cancer – and there are tens of thousands like me

“Unfortunately, the latest data out today makes it clear that we are in a flu wave close to the very large wave of 2022/23, and it hasn’t peaked yet.”
It's definitely not a quad-demic, but we are in a very large flu wave this winter and it's not peaked yet
Will this change flu vaccine eligibility next year?

BBC basically sitting unchallenged on Christmas Day, absolutely owning it. The politicians who like to speak about how irrelevant it is in an age of Netflix might want to take a moment to reflect.
Gavin & Stacey on 12.3 million average (12.5m peak) was Britain's most watched live broadcast on Christmas Day in a decade and a half since Wallace & Gromit got 14m in 2008.

Twitter/X was all about gathering a big group of followers and dominating the space. We fell for it. This new space, for now, offers us a chance to gather in decency/respect. A supportive place in a fragile world. Let’s use it well.
