Misinformation represents a serious threat to individual and global health. We need to understand more about how susceptibility to misinformation is socially patterned so that it doesn’t deepen health inequalities, say Simon Williams and @profsanderlinden.bsky.social www.bmj.com/content/389/...

On Stuart Pearce’s 63rd birthday, a reminder of his final match as a player in 2002. Stuck on 99 career goals, an injury time penalty is given at Maine Road. Dave Beasant even tells Pearce he’s going to stand still. The scene is set to retire in style…

It's ridiculous that #Reacher sent Kohl to arrest Quinn and didn't go as well. #series3 It's silly that he didn't already know that a .22 bullet might not kill someone (if that's the case)
