#OneHitHistory Jimi would’ve been 83 today… #BOTD in 1942, legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix became, possibly, the unlikeliest of US #OneHitWonder honorees in 1968. “All Along The Watchtower,” by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, spent 8 weeks on the US #Billboard #Top40, peaking at #20. #OneHitWondered

🧵1️⃣ It’s UK Budget Day - so here’s a budget #RachelReeves hasn’t announced: a proper Long Covid Budget. We've estimated the real economic burden of Long Covid at £12-15 BILLION A YEAR. At a £ a minute that puts us back in 26,500 BC - the Late Upper Paleolithic 😳 #Budget2026

Please save the majestic Napoleon Fish. Don't eat them. Also known as a humphead wrasse (Cheilinus undulatus), it is one of the largest coral reef fish species in the world. It's easily identifiable by their prominent hump on the forehead. They are classified as an endangered species. #endangered

I didn’t write this poem for people that have abandoned me or that have shamed me or even that have used and abused me- I write this poem for those like me, still lingering in the shadows, still wondering if it’s ok, still thinking it’s their fault- this poem is for them #fromoneline 396 #poetry

Reeves makes me want to puke. Evil, twisted excuse for a human being. Always punching down.

A dog’s paw print on a Roman clay tile 🐾 🐕 😍 About 2,000 years-ago, a dog made its mark for ‘pawsterity’ when it wandered across the wet tile laid out to dry before firing. From Richborough Roman fort 📷 by me #TilesonTuesday #Archaeology

Good that this stuff about #Farage is coming out, but frankly very odd that it seems this is the story the BBC etc are choosing to focus on, over the story about his/Reform's #russian connections.

If you receive legal threats from Nigel Farage for your reporting of Reform, please get in touch. We have employed a defamation lawyer specifically for this purpose and would love to help (and we do so on non-commercial terms). www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I wonder what life event turned this beautiful, caring gem of a child into the total cunt we have today? 🤔

Covid-19 has been linked to cardiovascular complications, but the long-term impacts, particularly for mild infections, are not well understood. A study in Nature Communications demonstrate an increased risk of cardiovascular disease after Covid-19, also among mild cases. #medsky #cardiosky 🧪

“My NHS colleagues and I weren’t willing to let the bodies pile high in their thousands. Johnson no longer mentions them at all.” Hard hitting and necessary on the government’s covid complacency from @drrachelclarke.com observer.co.uk/news/...

RFKJr has cut ALL mRNA vax research in the USA where all the work discussed in this thread was developed. Other countries can step in. But the rhetoric about mRNA vax from the likes of him are HUGELY harming the trust in mRNA vaccine technology. We address common questions n myths here

Indeed. The Anti-science anti-vaxxer anti-medicine anti-knowledge run the media.

UK govt wants jury trials scrapped except for rape, murder, manslaughter or cases passing a public interest test. What would toff judges do to protesters against bad laws, environmental and other issues. Bad choice by a govt led by a human rights lawyer.

ICYMI: Boris Johnson responded to the Covid Inquiry via his Telegraph column - he failed to apologise Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice: "It is beyond contempt that he has chosen to respond to the Covid Inquiry by attacking the Covid Bereaved for "wrangling" about the deaths of our loved ones"

As I've said before, the distinction drawn between acute infectious diseases and chronic diseases is, in many cases, artificial. This is the huge flaw in MAHA: infections can and often do cause chronic disease; vaccines can thus prevent some chronic diseases. stanmed.stanford.edu/infections-l...

This is exactly what’s happening. Well said Mark. Not the Covid causing neurological damage that is well documented www.ox.ac.uk/news/2022-08...

covid causes neuroinflammation. long covid is more common in kids than asthma now. this is why we shouldn’t have stopped trying to stop the spread until we had sterilizing vaccines that actually prevent transmission and infection, not just keep people out of the hospital/morgue during infection.

Protect yourselves from airborne transmission of COVID which can cause vascular & neurological damage amongst other things. Wear an ffp2/3 respirator Open windows Clean the Air Vaccinate Vaccines were designed to reduce disease severity. They do not fully protect against infection at this point.

i find this quite interesting because, as often happens, the "vaccine cause" for autism is not just wrong but covers up the reality of entire areas of knowledge that we are opening to that the ptb do no want known. Here, specifically, my field of Pre- & perinatal psychology #TruthWarriors #AN #WDC

Benefit fraud has always been famously low as a percentage of overall payments. But the problem is amplified in the minds of the public by media & govt conflating fraudulent claims with payments made in error. The narrative maintained throughout by Lab/Con is ALL claimants are somehow dishonest 🫤

On this stormy L.A. day, this ancient Roman blue glass olla (jar) brings me back to sunnier days and the beach. That effect is created by the application of large 'grains' of opaque yellow and green glass to the body of the jar. 😍 🏺 1/ From Pozzuoli, mid-1st c. CE. #BritishMuseum 📸 me

#FindsFriday! An arrowhead made of #meteorite iron: around 1,500 BC, a meteorite struck #Estonia. A fragment of it arrived - presumably in the baggage of an amber trader - at what is now Lake Biel, #Switzerland. An arrowhead was then made there from the cosmic iron. From Mörigen, 900-800 BC. 📷 me
