To ‘ultra-crepidate’ (19th century) is to lecture others on subjects you know very little about.

"Clean Indoor air is a gap in our public health frameworks. We need to close that gap."

CVF are proud supporters of the other important event at the UN today highlighting the need for "Clean Indoor Air". It is of vital importance to *everyone*, but especially for Clinically Vulnerable people. Thank you @drbronking.bsky.social 💙💜💗

CVF has signed the global pledge (remotely), and we are delighted to see action taken by Montenegro. "Clean air for every child in every classroom"

"Clean air for every child in every classroom is a right, not a privilege." "This is why for Montenegro, improving air quality in schools is not a secondary concern. It is a fundamental responsibility. A matter of safeguarding the next generation." 👏👏👏

Jimmy Kimmel will return to TV after highly criticized suspension

Scaremongering clickbait headlines do not help my anxiety. The again, neither do the actual news headlines these days 😭

Re Kimmel, it's important that Disney has left itself an out--it is a "suspension," not a cancellation or firing. What happens in the next two days--reaction within the company but also in the press, in the industry, in Washington, among consumers, and on social media--may affect how this plays out.

I am actually sad to have to say this since I have admired much about Disney CEO Bob Iger over the years, but what a profoundly quisling move this is by someone who knows better. It’s shameful and he has tarnished his once proud reputation.

Help us, John Oliver. You're our only hope.

If anyone has any distracting memes handy, I'd really appreciate them right now. #TheOrville #StarTrek #StarWars #comedy

All hail VICTOR!!! He's a real-life hero whose selflessness & courage is an inspiration to us all. Wishing you a complete & speedy recovery. I salute you, sir! 🫡

📈 When you allow infections to surge 📥 When some choose not to test / protect 💉 When millions at most risk are denied vaccines - Who always pays the highest price? 🤔 inews.co.uk/news/health/...

@wilwheaton.net I hope you're ok and feel much better soon, Wil. x 🫂

🚨 MILLIONS of people at higher risk from diseases will lose NHS Covid vaccines this autumn. Sign + share our petition (on next post) It won't grow enough without your help to find more people. 1/ #KeepCovidBoosters

US vaccine news is depressing yet, even in the UK: 1. The vast majority of those at higher risk will not have access to covid vaccines this autumn. 2. UK schools never require vaccination. 3. The chicken pox vaccine is only just being added to the schedule. #Vaccines #KeepCovidBoosters

Clinically Vulnerable people will be denied Covid vaccines this autumn despite continued risks. The UK is cutting back and is an international outlier. Please support our petition! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Please sign this if you are able to. Without NHS access to boosters, people with conditions like severe asthma, diabetes and heart disease will only be able to access vaccines if they pay around £90 a dose, which mounts up quickly for households with multiple people. 😢 #KeepCovidBoosters Save lives.

Without scientifically-derived knowledge we have guesses or, even worse, information that is specifically designed to mislead us. Science is a wonderful tool that gives us the ability to check if what we are told is true. Those in power who dismiss science do so to mislead and control us.

If Lineker cant say this stuff neither can Rylan

Just me doing a forensic takedown of each misinformed & incorrect claim Rylan made about asylum seekers 😎 Already received one hate-filled email 💅🏽 www.independent.co.uk/voices/rylan...

Really enjoyed Destination X. It was nice to play along as a family while improving our geography knowledge. #DestinationX

Vaccines are safe and effective. RFK Jr. isn’t.

Please, if you're in the UK, please sign this petition to keep providing covid vaccines for those at higher risk. 🙏 Literally millions of us at higher risk of both severe illness and long covid will not be able to access it. 😭 Please sign if you can 🙏 #KeepCovidBoosters

There is literally a Farage story on the BBC per day and nothing for the Greens, in particular. The BBC is directly skewing public discourse with this behaviour.

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social please tell BBC News we’re sick of 4 MP Party Reform being rammed down our throats daily with drivel like this👇🏼report The @libdems.org.uk have 72 MPs, Greens 4, SNP 9 but they don’t get a look in 🤷🏼‍♂️ Soon BBC News will report what Farage has for breakfast 🙄

This is really frightening for clinically vulnerable people in the UK, just as a new covid wave hits. Many of us are at higher risk of acute illness and long covid and we just want to protect ourselves to avoid our conditions becoming worse, as we have done with flu for decades. #KeepCovidBoosters

⚠️ Autumn Covid boosters will be denied for the first time to MILLIONS who are at higher risk of worse outcomes. ⚠️ We demand protection from infections! #KeepCovidBoosters 💉

The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.

The Orville episode where everyone votes to mind wipe someone or not based on their popularity ... via their phones is epic.

BBC: We've completely removed a comment that has upset Robert Jenrick from Thought of the Day. And now on BBC1, it's MasterChef with Gregg Wallace and John Torode.

In an article about authors opting out of a literary prize, you have included a statement from only one of those authors. On the other hand, you have chosen to include the words of two other major gender critical voices, neither of whom were in any way affiliated with the prize. 2/

My point is this, I see Britain doing the exact same thing with trans people and migrants. Take what's happening in Epping right now, the message from mainstream media seems to be that it's the migrants being in the hotel causing the chaos. When it's really right-wing protests. 2/4

Hyperlink text should make sense when read out of context. Screen reader users can navigate from link to link, and can listen to links in a list. When navigating this way, only the link is read. So "click here" or "read more" won't make sense.

Ukip leader Nick Tenconi, in Portsmouth today. A Nazi salute. A Nazi saluting. A Nazi doing a Nazi salute. HT Alisdair McKee

When I originally wrote about the USS Phoenix ready room window scenes in #StarTrekTNG's "The Wounded", I was so focused on the different Enterprise-D models (4-footer ⬅️ vs. 6-footer ➡️) that I didn't notice how much more faint Maxwell's and O'Brien's reflections are in the remastered version ➡️.

Saw someone describe the violence & intimidation against refugees in the UK as “xenophobia” but please be real. It’s racism. It’s white supremacy. It’s not a special new kind, it’s the same old kind that is wielded against all POC. None of those guys give a single fuck about German immigrants.

It’s telling, I think, that - notwithstanding my smallish following - this is getting a lot of likes and reposts. I think a lot of people are feeling very uneasy about the way anti-immigrant views and outright racism are becoming more overt and are not being challenged.

Glad the Apollo 13 movie is getting reruns lately. This scene is even more moving today: right, Tom Hanks playing Jim Lovell; left, cameo appearance by actual Jim Lovell (1928 Mar 25 - 2025 Aug 7).

I will be asking to remove 'Queer As Folklore' from the long list for the Polari Prize 2025.

If you can do something that makes someone smile, then do that thing. Person to person, kindness doesnt have to be big gestures and statements. It can be a hug, or a compliment, a thank you, or as simple as acknowledgement. Be kind, share that kindness, and love xx
