And what an odd episode. Huge amount of info about having a scan. Who knew it was Β£5 for a photo or Β£7 for 2? And then huge details of how to make coleslaw. And Tracy thinks she’s been in the dairy for weeks, not days. All odd - padding? A Story line brought forward? #TheArchers

Did Kate shag Rex or Toby? At the time they were indistinguishable.

These were posted within minutes of each other. So which one is it? Is it over or is there no end in sight?? Our msm is a clusterfuck. Guess I’ll check the news in another country to find out what is happening here.

Effect of Prophylactic Fentanyl Buccal Tablet on Episodic Exertional Dyspnea: A Pilot Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial - PubMed This study supports that prophylactic FBT was associated with a reduction of exertional dyspnea and was well tolerated. Our findings support the need for larger trials to confirm the therapeutic potential of rapid-onset opioids.

In opioid-tolerant patients, prophylactic fentanyl buccal tablets significantly reduced exertional dyspnea and respiratory rate during a 6-minute walk test, suggesting rapid-onset opioids may help manage exercise-induced breathlessness.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws?
Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?

β€œLook, it’s not quite clear what’s happening, but there is at least some possibility that there are currently mines in the Strait of Hormuz” seems like exactly the sort of thing that’s going to make insurance companies chill out

Welp… this country is about to learn some lessons the very hard way… I would just like to remind everybody that this is either a self-fulfilling prophecy or a self-inflicted wound but I don’t wanna hear anybody saying this shit was not foreseeable bullshit either way there are no take-backs…

This is the warning on the blood pressure monitor my dad just got.

Exceptional work. Anybody know what the fuck it’s supposed to mean?

Last line is especially ominous

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

An informed, detailed and blistering analysis of Trump's oxymoronic attitude to war, the Ukraine and Russia, and an interesting insight into what's happening in Russia's attempted invasion of Ukraine.

The full blog is well worth a read.

When Israel targeted Gaza’s water supply, people rightly called it out as a war crime, denying civilians the most basic supplies.

Iran's FM condemns US attack on Qeshm's freshwater desalination plant, warns of grave consequences US President Donald Trump announced that Iran promised not to attack its neighbours anymore

Multiple news outlets are reporting a US attack on an Iranian #desalination plant.
If verified, this violates international law protecting #water systems during wars, and it sets a dangerous precedent, given intense dependence of Gulf countries on desalination.

What could possibly explain the intensity of Western interest, over the past century and more, in this region?

The King is supposed to be visiting the USA *next month*. This is the definition of a diplomatic nightmare. In all seriousness, I would urge him to pull a sickie.

I think we should allow Trump to choose Iran’s next leader as long as the rest of us can choose America’s. Because it’s clearly far too important a job to be left in the hands of Americans.

Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X

I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together.
This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.
