I am shocked and stunned.

Good lord, where did all these fans of Starmer come from? I follow a lot of journos and mostly it's them replying/quoting somebody to say "no Starmer isn't very good, stop pretending otherwise". He was always the "none of the above" option.

I'm proud to have donated to Sheffield Theatres as I accidentally booked two sets of tickets and only realised about an hour before the first showing when I read the reminder they sent properly and then make it. #philanthropist #arts

sometimes i'll hear a song i really really like, find out it's a cover of a bob dylan song, then listen to the original and feel like i'm being pranked

Going to cancel any operation that doesn't start before 1pm

The NHS is evolving and changing, the intention is to have digital and data at the core while becoming an engine of innovation. Here's my latest article on the emerging details and some unanswered questions. priteshmistry.ghost.io/era-nhs-tran...

I continue to think about the Starmerstan who claimed that the right wing press have sold Starmer as more right-wing than he is and that he's actually been a progressive this whole time

This was a very random thing to read before reading that Ming Campbell had died

Telling people to “tough it out” when they’re sick is ableism. Saying that autism is “unacceptable” is eugenics. Bragging about the strong people who don’t take meds or vaccines? It infers that those who need medications are weak. It’s all eugenics. This regime sees disabled people as less than.

It's impressive that Andy Burnham is already Prime Minister

BritCard? As a traditionalist, I'll be referring to as the UKTV Gold Card.

For the first time in what seems like forever, I am genuinely undecided on ID cards because intelligent people on both sides both make compelling arguments.

This is what I find so galling. Can we really be saying that I can print "FARAGE IS A PAEDO" as long as I write a correction on a post-it note saying "u prolly not, soz Nige" 6 months later?

Hey, General Consensus, you were right. Star Trek VI is pretty good!

I'm sorry but self-titling an album is just stupid. Just come up with a name and stop being so lazy. Even autobiographies aren't usually just the name of the author. A Game of Thrones A Clash of Kings George RR Martin A Feast of Crows A Dance with Dragon See? Stupid.

It's good to see Burnham screwing up his leadership bid before it's even begun. Taking a page right out of his 2015 leadership campaign book.

You can see why Sum 41 changed the lyric

When I initially saw this, I thought it was red but taken with a bad camera.

Very sad this wasn't accompanied by the change of font to COPPERPLATE GOTHIC BOLD

Just thinking again about a colourblind friend who used to get asked how he did traffic lights and him having to explain that he wasn't blind to things being above other things.

New post by me

I know.

@sthjournalclub.bsky.social #RCoAUpdates TIVA vs volatile - patient centred outcomes definitely better. Less sick +sore. (Sorry can’t do alt text quick enough)

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

A simply unfathomably sad long read and one that really hints at the profound damage that perhaps drives some toxic behaviour with global consequences. Free gift link here, but won't last forever. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/w...

I'm also certain autism caused paracetamol though

#RCoAUpdates Dr Imran Ahmad on the high risk airway next - a predicted difficult airway is difficult. High BMI over represented in the surgical popn and airway complications are over represented in this group. #ansky

Not often I'll sing Wes Streeting's praises but this is a crystal clear message

What a weird way to try to reduce the incidence of accidental paracetamol overdose

what movie do you consider "perfect"?

There was a 1990s 3D-animated cartoon called Insektors I watched when I was a kid involving anthropomorphic insects. The only thing I remember is some insects marching to the lyrics "MARCH MARCH MARCH WITH YOUR FEEEEEEET"

Man, England won but I'm not sure that performance will be enough to beat Canada next week. Canada's comically high ruck speed is going to be incredibly difficult to deal with. There's an argument they go in favourites. Two cracking semis. #FRAvENG #RWC2025

I want to see the file structure. Every device and cloud thing wants me to search. That's great but let me see the file structure. I like to be able to see files.

It slightly annoys me that the Internet knows everything about me allegedly but not enough such that The Guardian will stop asking for donations if though regularly buy the physical paper.

What is it with government and management's inability to see past the immediate future? Lads, you have to make plans that last longer 6 months! You literally wrote a 10-year plan! Then forgot about consequences beyond a few months! ARGH! www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

After #NZLvCAN yesterday, I am rather nervous about the favourites* losing in #FRAvENG. *Canada were the world no. 2s and beaten NZ before so it was always a bit a silly calling them "dark horses".

Wow, he was a big baby

Good lord these Canadians are alright. #NZLvCAN

So the Wikipedia app will periodically give me the text of the article I've clicked on with the header image of the previous article I've been reading. This seems particularly inappropriate given Karie Murphy's inability to get the party started.

Plot Point: Alive WITHOUT a Pulse An LVAD is a device to constantly pump blood for people with end stage heart failure This means if your character is knocked unconscious and someone looks for a pulse, they might mistake them for dead Oh the possibilities #writing #scriptsky #filmsky #booksky

I will be going to this!

Really interesting conversation thread. This comes halfway through but scrolling up to the OP is worth it just to find out how you get to dementia and social care from "locked toilet pod".

It's kind of hilarious that they're still debating throwing out a racist inciting violence and insurrection who's only talent has been luck and having a lot of money

Smash two movies Snakes on a plane, trains and automobiles

look, it is comforting to think that your political opponents are, at the end of the day, just people like you who really want us all to live together as Americans. it's just very obviously not *true* in MAGA's case, as you can tell through, well, what they say and do.
