12 Hour A&E waits aren't normal. A culture of corridor care isn't normal.
Our A&E crisis is a scandal and we have a plan to fix it. 👇

This can’t go on. UK news shows have got to start calling Nigel Farage out on this ridiculous bull****. Please start doing your job - for all our sakes
If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it.
We cannot allow him & others to rewrite history.

To those interested in #Metallurgy QQ. As steel cools, would introducing high frequency vibration change the structure in any way ?
Would you end up with fewer flaws, different properties, quicker cooling times etc.

Switch codes. Follow a recently released book with an old classic. Then switch to something quick, followed by a tome. Don't lock yourself into one area. Personally Gerald Seymore writes a good thriller, Ian M Banks for SF, biographies of people you never heard of, history books of events etc.

The British Medical Council recommend no more than 10 units of alcohol a week, for a man of my age. I've just done an audit of my relaxation cabinet. Wine, beer, bubbly, spirits, and liqueurs. After a quick spreadsheet was created it seems I'm good for just over a year, 57 weeks to be accurate.

Just reorganised my house alcohol supply into a new shelving unit. It appears I don't need to buy any for the next decade or so.
7 bottles of half drunk gin, 8 cans of high strength stout, 9 bottles of bubbly, a mixed case of wine. All mixed into about 3 score general bottles. New liver on order

Elections haven't always been fair in America.
We've suffered Poll taxes, writing tests, intimidation, misinformation and straight up cheating in multiple elections over the life of our country.
And progress still came.
Don't let them con you into thinking they're inevitable.
They aren't.

It's always worth remembering, that when you are curled up on the sofa watching shit in TV, you are doing so while moving at several hundred miles per second through space.

The United Colonies became the United States under reign of King George III. He was widely thought to suffer from a serious mental illness. Fitting that the next monarch in charge of the US continues this tradition.

The Epstein Files are probably the best thing to ever happen to the Trump regime. They give liberals something to attach their hope to that somehow if they can just get the files released - and then all of the files released, and then all of the unreadacted files... - then Trump will crumble.

It's almost as if years of relentless media saturation bombing of flat-out lies, demonisation and blaming don't help the public to understand what is actually happening.

My good lady wife has 'crossed the streams', so I'm looking out for any unexpected behaviour.
Crossing the streams in this instance refers to mixing Diet Coke and Pepsi Max in the same glass. What's the worst that could happen ...
