I'm reading a very good new book about John Candy. It includes a touching foreword from Dan Aykroyd, which is impossible to read without hearing his voice.

"When we first met, he was a Kleenex salesman with Kimberly-Clark, driving a company-owned brown four-door Pontiac sedan."

See what I mean?

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!
newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination
Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

I've written a big piece for the Observer about the Big C. Would be lovely if you find time to read it sometime and feel free to share.

Seems high from the UK, but I guess when you add in childcare and health costs and... everything else...
TL;DR: the *actual* poverty line in the US for a family of four with two young children is about $140,000, and there isn't much improvement in quality of life between $40K and $100K.

There's more good stuff in there too, you should read the whole thing.

Long-term investment works: Ten years ago I stood on Vauxhall Bridge as the previous mayor opened the first of London's protected cycle superhighways (and one man emphatically flipped him the bird). Now there's 1.5m cycling trips PER DAY in London (up 12.7% on 2024) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Had grown a beard over the last few weeks, trimmed it down to a tache this morning which my wife helpfully described as 'a bit too sex pesty for my liking'. Harsh but fair, it had to go.

Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

Give a cat a website, it will be distracted for a day. But teach a cat to publish its own website, and it will forever be banging on about content design and search engine optimisation.

Thinking of making a horror movie about a man who keeps discovering 12-inch rulers in his home. It's a found footage film.
