Jeesuz. Got to have hearing aids! Nothing profound. But definitely lost hearing in both ears. So, like glasses, initially use them only when I feel the need. Hey ho. Why am I old.

Are you interested in death, dying, loss, grief, and related topics, from historical studies to current issues? Then I'd recommend following @openthanatology.bsky.social and keeping an eye out for resources it shares.

I always remember when Anne Robinson tried to do her school ma’am act on Ricky Hatton on Celebrity Weakest Link. AR: “Ricky - you were the weakest link in that round. Why do you think that is?” RH: “Probably because I get punched in the head for a living, Anne.”

Have a friend currently down on his luck in Manchester who could do with a long term loan of an electric bike. Can anyone help?

How is AI going to clean someone who has soiled themselves? How is AI going to cook a meal? How is AI going to be present physically and see when someone is struggling and needs urgent medical care? How is AI going to just listen and be compassionate and a "friend"?

Lovely day for it!! Please support us if you can 🙏
