Worried that using ChatGPT harms the planet? A new analysis shows each query uses less energy than a Google search – and far less than lighting a bulb or streaming TV.

Canada trolling us. I can't even get insurance companys to pony up for my patients' inhalers for COPD. #medsky

Let’s be clear – Trump and his friends are not brave crusaders fighting for journalistic integrity and factual reporting. They are seizing on a single mistake by one BBC programme as an excuse to undermine the whole organisation. We simply cannot let that happen. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Can we at least admit now there’s no “special relationship” between the US & UK (unless it’s an abusive one)? The US government is a hostile state, alongside Russia. It couldn’t be clearer. #BBC

Have had updates from Hobnob/Hobson’s new mum and he is doing brilliantly… he is confidently exploiting his new territory with his uncle Leo in hot pursuit, didn’t bat an eyelid at meeting the pigs who share the field, and was perfectly calm and happy spending last night in the stable by himself.

Fascinating paper suggesting the assumption that there is a sigmoid dose response relationship and threshold effect ( "all-or-nothing") for loop diuretics rests on repeated misinterpretation of original studies from the 70s and 80s. #nephsky #cardiosky #emimcc academic.oup.com/ehjcvp/artic...

Why my kids get their vaccines. Both active athletes. Long-COVID would be a huge life change for either of them. Reducing those risks is a no-brainer 🤷🏻‍♂️

Spliced tapes or not, all the evidence you need about Trump’s involvement in the Jan 6 insurrection is the simple fact that he pardoned every single insurrectionist.

🔥 Harrods: What do the survivors do now?? The courts, the redress scheme, the police — all form part of the same legal abyss. ◾ Survivors cannot access the courts, let alone for trafficking ◾ Harrods’ “redress” is run by the institution itself ◾ The Met refuses to name the crimes as trafficking

Some problems transcend race, religion and politics. This is one of them. I feel the singular possessive is too parochial, too insular in modern society but will I alienate those who are anti globalist?

Tech millionaires when they're told this might be a more reliable way to get to 100 years old then injecting their son's blood

Oh, and Hobnob waved goodbye to his fans… 😳🤦🏼‍♀️😱😂🍆👋 #Precocious #Fellpony

Hobnob the Fell pony foal left home today! He is now officially called Hobson. His new mummy is one of my closest friends who has been my horse guru for nearly 20 years! I am So excited for her, and can’t wait to see them out showing next year! #FellPony #RareBreed #NativePony #Smallholdingdream

Zero, obvs #ChildofThe70s #GenX

So let me get this right. We had to leave the EU to control immigration, and we are going to control immigration by emulating the stringent immigration system of Denmark, which is a proud and happy member of the EU.

Does anyone have any United Airlines points they’d be willing to donate to Jonathan to get to his interview in Cleveland? He can’t take enough time off to drive. The flights are about $200 more than they were 2 days ago.

You've got to hand it to owls, really. Every other bird species goes for a really long face, owls go "Nah, wide as possible!" and now everyone thinks they're the smartest. Meanwhile corvids are all like "Old moonhead is 'the clever one'? What the hell, guys!"

In 445 hospitalized cancer patients with pressure injuries, one-month overall survival was 55.3%. Lower Braden Scale scores (≤14) and advanced disease were linked to shorter survival, indicating poor prognosis in this population. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35394852/

Ok #MedSky #SurgSky, this one's pretty specific- if you are a rural general surgeon in public practice in China, and *not* (yet) a Fellow of @racsurgeons.bsky.social, there is a travel grant up to $10K available to visit our Annual Scientific Congress. Applications close 22 Dec. More-

8–12 million arterial catheters are inserted each year. Non-infectious complications represent the greater burden of arterial catheter failure in ICUs. This translates to up to 2.6 million non-infectious failures annually. #AnSky #ICUSky

Every person on Earth could live with dignity: food, clean water, safe housing, healthcare, schooling, energy & clothes for ≈ $16 trillion a year. 15% of the world’s GDP. We spend more than that on wars, tax breaks for billionaires, & fossil fuel subsidies. The resources exist. The will does not.

Might have been appropriate! www.ajronline.org/doi/10.2214/...

I’ve been in a lot of rooms with people having a medical emergency; it’s a rare “skill” to be this utterly disinterested in the person’s welfare 😳

Day Centres provide social interaction, friendship & stimulation to elderly & disabled people, and respite to families and carers. They allow family members to work & go to school. My Dad’s day centre was highly valued by him & our family. His carers, helpers & transport driver came to his funeral.

Dr Oz talking about obesity, diabetes and dementia while Trump is slumped over like a man minutes from death is supremely funny content

This is disability visibility. Mamdani listened. He didn’t pander or talk over the disabled journalist. He acknowledged his concerns and gave real responses about how he plans to fix them. 1 in 4 Americans has a disability, it’s a huge number of voters. Don’t ignore us!

Really sorry Linda, but needs reposting, so others can enjoy! 😁

Don't blame it on the screen size Don't blame it on your eyesight Don't blame it on distractions Blame it on the boogie

This has been up for more than an hour and no one has made a comment about a broken bone. I’m disappointed in you all.

Just requested ax “Xray penis” rather than “Xray pelvis” and don’t know whether to blame my varifocals, the screen size, or the multiple interruptions I had whilst trying to place the blasted order 🤦🏼‍♀️😳 #humanfactors

Really proud of Dr Kathleen Pedersen, one of our F2 doctors, doing a cracking job giving her presentation. Imagine being a final year medical student with an eGFR of 4 before starting dialysis, and then combining med school with dialysis “it’s like having another part time job”.

These are all the dogs we sponsored in October ❤️‍🩹

It is just absolutely nuts that Republicans have put us in this situation… and in NOVEMBER?! Wild wild stuff.

All that money and they still lost. The people are fed up having their elections bought and paid for by the elite. They’re fed up having to accept sexual abusers & criminals as the “best option”. This money could have (and should have) gone back into the community.

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

63% voted for #Prop50 in #California! Voters backed redrawing California’s congressional districts, countering #Republicans efforts in Red States. #Democrats won high profile governor’s races in NJ & Virginia & notched other victories across the nation! #WeThePeople are the power & majority. 💪🌊

It seems that having a #governmentshutdown and sending #ICE into cities to attack innocent people has backfired on #MAGA #GOP in many places! #NYC #California #Prop50 #Mamdani #Trump will be spewing bile on social media when get wakes up

Someone saw the #Prop50 polling:

Cool.

Can’t we just train the chickens to wash their feet & wings? Maybe hanging some of those pathogen-stopping hospital curtains up between the chickens would be helpful.

Man in a gallery (observing a security guard): The trouble with modern art is, I don’t even know if that’s a real man, on an actual chair. Art by BECK. Words by me.

The weather is grim so cockerel Brian has taken one of his three wives into the horses’ field shelter

We see something similar in the UK. Most benefits go to people IN WORK. Because there are not enough properly paid jobs. Rather than insisting employers pay decent wages, governments use taxpayers’ money to subsidise employers who don’t. Welfare was not meant to support employers. This is wrong
