When he was small enough to snooze on the radiator.
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
On the 3rd anniversary of Russia’s brutal invasion, Europe is in Kyiv.
We are in Kyiv today, because Ukraine is Europe.
In this fight for survival, it is not only the destiny of Ukraine that is at stake.
It’s Europe’s destiny.

This weekend is historic:
Lithuania, Latvia & Estonia will fully disconnect from Russia‘s power system and join the main European grid, fit to integrate more renewable energy.
Its not just a technical upgrade – it’s a gateway to the West & breaking free from Russia’s control.
Indeed. Horrifying.
Patients had their central lines accessed with those accessing them washing their hands from water OUT OF A BUCKET, for 8 hrs when hot water went off throughout the hospital. A bucket was delivered every few hours. No flushable toilets, running water.
This is a hospital due to be rebuilt.
OK, this is a busy "news" day. But I'm still reprised that the ONS analysis of excess deaths caused by long A&E waits in England has received so little coverage. Results reviewed here: policyskeptic.blogspot.com/2025/01/maki...

#Tomlinson: Ten warmest years on record have all occurred in the past decade, wiping away any doubt that climate change is underway. Climate scientists are worried.

Blue Whale heart compared to human adult size.
Since blood weighs approximately 1.06 kilograms per liter, the 220 liters of blood a blue whale's heart pumps with each beat weighs 513 pounds. In comparison, the human heart pumps roughly 70 milliliters of blood per beat, weighing just 0.16 pounds Wow, just wow! #echosky #echofirst #medsky
I like how rigors are strongly predictive of bacteremia but a "feelin' a little chilly" has a LR < 1 (though not significant).

To be clear, we do have plans for scaling, we just kinda expected more than a couple days notice before getting blasted with a million new users a day.
The team is rapidly deploying fixes and new software to adapt. More servers in the mail.
I heard that Andrew Tate tried to come stretch his awkward wings here and got banned in just one day.
Sorry, hate has no home here. Stay in the bad place, thanks.

#PrimaryCare #GeneralPractice #teamgp Do any of your GP surgeries take on responsibility for providing bowel prep for 2WW scopes? We seem to have issues in our area where patients don't get them in time, and ICB looking to ask GPs to take it on. Wonder how this works in other areas
Ah yes, they have reappeared, thanks!
GPs in England are private providers apparently 🤔

Is this why @teamlabouruk.bsky.social seem to be ignoring GPs?
GP practices are closing
GPs leaving, unemployed or underemployed

When I first discovered labelling I thought I should label everything I was interested in and ended up with a million labels. Thus I had to unlabel myself of all by liking the unlabeller ….so now I can’t label myself correctly . Any tips?
rare to have a social network where the CEO isn't the main character and we'd like to keep it that way
but for the record, @jay.bsky.team is the CEO of bluesky, jack dorsey is no longer on the board and he owns 0% of the company
A very informative and important piece of research . This statement sums up the state of current primary care : ‘Systems designed to increase efficiency have introduced new forms of inefficiency and have compromised other quality domains such as accessibility, patient-centredness, and equity. ‘
