I know we generally say bad things about the other place, but there are still pockets of goodness alive and kicking there. Friends of @pierkisser.bsky.social have been raising cash for surgery for her lovely rescue dog Victor. Within 24 hours we reached the target! t.co/oulrU59kL9 Kindness rocks.

Over on the dark side there is a thing for summarising your year of Twittering. These pics capture my headlines. Some of you new followers may be disappointed by my content! Note to self for 2025: More breathing stuff, less dog stuff.

We don’t like the app format. Has anyone found a desktop version for iPawd. I’m seeing pics on the news of a very different format with the whole screen layout.

How the legal system made it easy for the Post Office to destroy the lives of the sub-postmasters and sub-postmistresses And how the legal system then made it hard for them to obtain justice At the Law and Policy blog - already with excellent comments davidallengreen.com/2024/01/how-...

Twitter isn't down, you're just not awake and this is just the best dream you've had in many years. Also, I'm not Ben, I'm a butterfly with John Lennon's face. Now swim away.

Superior trolling.

Current starting point for postdoc salaries at Oxford University is just over £36k - £2.7K under threshold. According to The Royal Society 62% of postdocs are non-UK nationals (5/6 in my lab). Two things: (i) postdocs are underpaid; (ii) UK science is screwed royalsociety.org/-/media/poli...

Latest post of UK Covid situation is here: open.substack.com/pub/christin... TLDR: good news as Covid levels are lower than last winter and falling, as we go into the Christmas season. Flu also remains much lower than last year.

When Oswald Mosley died there were extraordinary fawning obituaries of him in the UK. This was Not the Nine O'clock news' superb response - written, filmed and recorded (I think) overnight when we still had satire in the country. Worth remembering today. youtu.be/LPCZvYu0QBA?...

Halloooooo…., *listens to echo from big empty space*

The cold weather has resulted in some beautiful sunrises and sunsets. This was taken yesterday morning by my buddy Dave at Hythe, near the New Forest, looking out over Southampton Water.

@cedarwych.bsky.social Found you! 👋🏼😘

Has anyone tried setting up more than one account in here? I have tried using the ‘Add account’ in Settings but not succeeded. Should you use the same email and password, or different ones? I have failed both ways! Many thanks in advance for any step by step idiot guide that can be posted….

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the division of powers in full effect. Judicial restraint on executive misbehaviour. The rule of law. The protection of human rights. All delivered in calm dispassionate tones. A thing of true beauty.

The Supreme Court explicitly states that today's Rwanda appeal decision does not depend on ECHR. In other words: UK leaving ECHR would not make a difference to this decision.

Rishi Sunak's shock reshuffle! youtu.be/MfGpHAZTxKM

Hypothetically, if my image and self worth was based on a physique sustained via the use of certain chemicals I couldn't access any more due to various legal issues, I might all of a sudden insist that I hated food now, as a way of covering my inevitable and rapid loss of mass. Hypothetically

Farage getting paid £1.5m for I'm a celebrity. Don't watch it, don't send them money in phone votes, don't reward the advertisers, and fuck Ant and Dec for platforming him, no matter how many oh so edgy winks to camera and cutting remarks they make.

Those of us who lost loved ones suspected this.

Just don't be horrible to people, especially ones you don't actually know. It's not complicated.

Shocking testimony at the Covid Inquiry! (Contains strong language!) youtu.be/QbO1k6kPiBM

Up and down the country, the Brits are currently united in gazing out of their windows and telling each other that they can’t believe it’s getting so dark already. #ClocksWentBack

Quote with a photo you took of water…

Here’s a nice photo of Sallie, and perhaps that will add some happiness to your evening.

It's bizarre to me that people keep arguing that we're likely to be infected 2+ times with COVID-19 per year because: a) this doesn't fit any data I'm aware of b) if true, it would imply that the disease was DRAMATICALLY less dangerous per infection than we currently believe

Well really, how ungrateful of the people of Tamworth and Mid-Bedfordshire. Especially after that nice Mr Sunak had saved them from having to use 7 bins and pay a meat tax. And he stopped them from only having 15 minutes to cross the town square at 20mph. I am shocked. Tsk.

Please don't do this. Let's try to keep this place bot free.

Funny that 'outsiders' here means probably the majority of health researchers.

"Although statistics—and hence machine learning—is excellent at helping us to understand and compare probabilities between groups, it is fundamentally unable to tell us what will happen to an individual" - quote from Wilkinson et al, Lancet DH, 2020. I'll be nice when medical science learns this!
