In her last interview before she died, Jane Goodall issued an urgent call to safeguard the Earth, warning that "humans are not exempt from extinction.”

If I see another 'AI will let HCWs treat more patients' claim, I think I'm going to scream. Burnout rates are already too high. AI should not be used to increase in-hours work density; instead it should reduce the amount of wellness-destroying work we already do out-of-hours. 🤨

None of the proposed two-child limit options are as efficient in lifting children out of poverty as fully scrapping the policy. Fully abolishing the two-child limit should be the starting point of any successful Child Poverty Strategy. Read more➡️ buff.ly/DyvTYGN

Oh look, they've pocketed the cash already. The company will dissolve, administrators with chew up what cash is left, we will get buttons in return, and the govt will claim some kind of "win". All as predictable as the sunrise.

This is the judgment on the PPE/Medpro claim. A cracking £122m win for the Government Legal Service And is wonderful to see the government bringing a claim in contract against a shoddy supplier. This does not happen often, and it should happen far more. www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/u...

“That Brexit has made control of immigration more difficult, damaged our economy and weakened opportunities for future generations should make people think twice before putting Brexit's chief proponent in charge of running the country” Times letters: a lonely oasis of sanity in the far right storm.

🚨BREAKING 40 years ago Margaret Thatcher abolished rent controls in Scotland. The Scottish Parliament just passed a Bill introduced by the Scottish Greens, which will allow them once more! This will keep rents affordable and offer safety and stability to renters. 🙌

Three thoughts on the #RyderCup today - delighted for Shane Lowry; brilliant fightback from the US to make a match of it; as terrible as the crowd behaviour was the spirit between the players at the end of their games should be an example to follow

Even now, visiting the north of Ireland (as @galleonskip.bsky.social and I did last year), it was fascinating to see which communities were flying which flags.

#MedSky friends? I’ve had a couple of horrid “colds” recently but not tested for anything. Was that wrong? (I’m not working in a clinical situation currently).

Am I watching a different event on the telly then? Looks like there are lots of flags there today! #LabourPartyConference

Happiness, humour, truth and, most crucially, courage are the qualities needed to repel the racist tide. Because its architects offer whining, victimhood, lies and, most crucially, cowardice.

"The past three years [of basic income for artists] have planted the seeds of something genuinely revolutionary – I know this most concretely in observing how I myself have become more whole as a person, citizen and artist... I urge the government to retain, extend, and expand this scheme..."

Ireland just released a report showing the huge success of the unconditional basic income it provided to artists. Each $1 spent led to society gaining $1.39. Artists' earned incomes went up more than their side job incomes fell. And they were happier and used less welfare www.gov.ie/en/departmen...

The Irish government has released a report on the benefits of the pilot for a Basic Income for the Arts, and in a total shocker, it seems like it was good for the country as well as the artists. Nobody could have seen this coming. #SpeirGorm #UBI www.gov.ie/en/departmen...

This pilot experiment PAID FOR ITSELF. Ireland spent $105 million on artists providing them basic income, and saw that drop to $72 million after accounting for economic impacts, then with $80 million in psychological wellbeing impacts, that dropped to -$8 million.

As Adrian Smith, President of the Royal Society said earlier this year: "There have always been attacks on science, but today there are genuine concerns that we may be turning our backs on research and the values of calm, evidence-based debate and decision-making.

TL:DR- patients having operations that started between 1300 and 1800 had statistically significant increases in postop complications, compared to pts with operative starts before 1300. Next question- I'd love to know the results for ops starting after 1800. 🤔 #MedSky
