still maybe the funniest picture of the year #CelebrityTraitors

FUCKING SHAKESPEARE #TheCelebrityTraitors

I know this won't surprise anyone here but Musk's reprogrammed artificial intelligence is spreading misinformation about yesterday's attack on a train

What a quote #CelebrityTraitors

Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals. Tory peer Michelle Mone - who today lost her legal case & must repay the govt £122m - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’. What, Michelle? 🧵

The most important news from today's reshuffle:

The Prime Minister's X feed currently looks like an advertising platform for Reform's messaging. Distinctly aggressive dog whistles with highly racialised imagery designed to dehumanise and demonise people, and ignores protections guaranteed under international law into the bargain.

Absolutely horrific. We are watching ethnic cleansing and genocide happening in broad daylight, in real time. Our govt has a duty to prevent genocide - and yet is still selling arms to Israel. The UK's complicity must end.

If Britain is an "island of strangers", that's not because of people who've raised families here, built new lives & contributed to our schools, industries & public services. It's because of changing technologies & patterns of work, social atomisation, declining social provision & rampant inequality

I made a Downfall video

I had no idea when I said this that this clip would go so very, VERY viral.

On #WorldMEDay the UK ME community faces a twofold threat: the loss of critical welfare benefits, and a lack of meaningful treatments to pave their way back to work. This must change. We’re asking the government to back the new ME Delivery Plan with the resources it deserves.

This past April was 1.51 degrees Celsius hotter than the pre-industrial average, continuing the now nearly two-year-old trend of months breaching the symbolic barrier. 🔗 ow.ly/hH5i50VP5XB

Please take some time to read all 3 parts of this. It shows just how difficult it can be for women to get people to just listen, never mind get the treatment they need. It shows how fragile & flimsy our NHS is. It also shows how absolutely vital it is for us to have a properly functioning NHS.

Two years ago, Nigel Farage was happy to see Scunthorpe go under. This Labour government won’t sit on our hands and watch British steel go to the wall. We’ll act - today, to secure Britain’s steel production. @labouruk.bsky.social

Turns out Le Pen is not mightier than the fraud.

can’t decide whether it was perfect timing that I read 1984 for the first time at then end of last year or if it was the worst because I now relate everything back to it 🫠

Ad seen in London

'Tough political choices' for the poor and disabled. Not the rich.

Since the start of COVID, the number of people reporting a disability soared. Yet the majority of the world acts like COVID is over, and Long COVID doesn't exist.

🏳️‍⚧️ “Call me Chloe”: the reality of life for my transgender daughter Those who think a young person would ‘choose’ to be trans, should walk one day in my daughter’s shoes. It’s not a walk they’d want to repeat By Emma Clarke #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2025

Great to see APPG for ME members highlighting the disproportionate impact of ME on women for #InternationalWomensDay Thank you @joplatt.bsky.social & @tessamunt.bsky.social! 💙

For those of us, like me, who are too ill to work, this appalling plan by Labour will see us lose money. Simply because we are ill or disabled. I thought it was meant to be the Tories who were the cruel, heartless ones?

So that's... 40% of Reform's MPs publicly accused of violence and anti-women behaviour. It's not a great statistic is it really

A new preprint confirms that generalized joint #hypermobility is a risk factor for #LongCOVID, while breaking new ground by examining risks of extreme hypermobility and whether hypermobility risk varies based on severity of initial COVID infection. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

This feels desperate. Why would you want to disconnect the part of the internet used as a basic resource by medics across the globe? It’s not burning ‘a library’ it’s burning the library of libraries and will really damage medical research for all

PubMed is essential for scientists and doctors to access the latest medical research. With PubMed down, we can’t search for the latest research and newest treatments for diabetes, cancer, infectious diseases, and more. This directly impacts patient care—everyone should be concerned.

Pretty much sums it up

Trump fans have to go along with *all* the lies because if they didn't, the really big lie - the white supremacism & racism - would start crumbling. And they love that lie sooo much...

How reassuring it would be right now for the UK to be a member of some kind of supranational political and economic union…

Grew up being in awe of The USA… Utterly appalled by it now.

Terrific resignation letter by Anneliese Dodds, this.

The populist right is damaging US science. Here's what I think we should be doing to ensure that the UK does not suffer the same fate. 🧵 1/37

Then & Now ..

Please share widely. We are really interested in the experiences of athletes with #ME and #Longcovid for masters level projects. Please support @NiamhLHeeran and @ElaKlaveness and all #physios to understand your experiences @LongCOVIDPhysio @long_covid @MEAssociation @MEActNetUK

As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity. TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄

First study at Manchester Met to look at long term harms of vaping - and it’s not good news.

A reminder to us all to address childhood trauma before it turns you into a massive bell…

Nigel Farage is friends with fascists who do Nazi Salutes on stage. He is in no fit state to be anywhere near British politics.

didn’t realise this was breaking news, all of my gp appointments that aren’t urgent (need antibiotics) are a six week wait, no wonder it took me 9 months to get a gastro referral to hospital 🫠

“there are Neville Chamberlain’s in every generation” George Monbiot’s takedown of Matt Goodwin and the Reform party is a thing of beauty 👏 #bbcqt

Thinking about how many of the world’s problems could have been avoided… If childhood trauma therapy was provided to prevent people becoming such hateful twats.

Online trolling of sick & disabled people is legitimised by media and government narratives about us being 'workshy scroungers', 'dossers' and worse. And is enabled by unregulated social media run by right-wing billionaires in their interests. 🧵Some thoughts 👇 Cw: graphics contains slurs.
