This is where they filmed the final battle scene in Chief of War, right? And Kilauea was popping off during their filming!
Not sure if I ever said it but that show was phenomenal. Just stunningly beautiful and made with such care. If you liked Shōgun and can handle that level of violence try it.

Stunning footage from earlier today, when the new Kilauea eruption covered the USGS Webcam 3, which is situated in the Halemaʻumaʻu crater near the southern rim of the much larger Kilauea caldera.
This *isn't* what the people of Pompeii saw.
But it's not very far off.

Good lord that clip where Ian McKellan is holding Judi Dench’s hand in both of his own and gently cracking jokes while the interviewer asks what her macular degeneration means for her as an actress and you can see him anchoring her as she says she can’t act anymore.

1️⃣ Visible Health has launched a local clinical trial feature. One of the first surfacing to users is an ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy) trial led by Trudie Chalder, a researcher whose work has been highly controversial in ME. This raises important patient-safety concerns.

I wrote about #LongCOVID stealing my lifelong favorite hobby of cycling, learning that e-bikes aren't "giving up" or "cheating," and how riding with assistance gave me back one of the greatest joys of my life. bit.ly/48ohIH5

1. Some good news at last. This week’s column is about the amazing thing a couple of us stumbled into three years ago, which we’ve now developed into a global research programme. It doesn’t change everything, of course, but it could help change quite a lot. + 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

So grateful to the community that sustains PLRC’s pathbreaking work on Long Covid and related conditions like ME/CFS. Living with an illness that has zero FDA-approved treatments, the first-class research PLRC leads is such a source of hope to me.

I remember reading this piece really early on in being sick and still thinking about this dynamic as a parent. Now I could (if I could, whenever that is) write about it as a dynamic that damages my sense of self, if I could prioritize that (can’t.)
It also means (@lollardfish.bsky.social has ably written about this) that you as a parent are forced to concentrate on and narrate your child's difficulties just to get them what they need, which is damaging to your child and your relationship with them.
