Same! I would also find it preferable if he were not minister for health π€―
The BBCβs front page right now. Looks like they are not trying to be conciliatory.

"Brexit has been a disaster for this country"
"Brexit has wrapped up small businesses in red tape"
"For growth.. A UK-EU Customs Union"
Thanks so much, Mark!

There may be a temptation to read headlines like this and think, perhaps we could invest a little more in caring for people, and it would both save money AND result in better outcomes.

βUnfortunately, the latest data out today makes it clear that we are in a flu wave close to the very large wave of 2022/23, and it hasnβt peaked yet.β
It was a perfect race from #Banbridge #KingGeorgeVI #BoxingDayRaces
BBC basically sitting unchallenged on Christmas Day, absolutely owning it. The politicians who like to speak about how irrelevant it is in an age of Netflix might want to take a moment to reflect.

Love us or hate us, we tried something new in public communication of science and sustained it for over three years.
From May 2020 - Dec 2023 we livestreamed 139 briefings, published 62 reports, 50 short statements and 7 Q&A and mythbusters. 1/13
Oh my goodness, this is my good friend Rob! Must send him a message. Need to get him on Bluesky!
That's great progress! I've also added you to this list I created today bsky.app/starter-pack...
A cover of Herr Dumpidump by Roger Hargreaves that says "Herr Dumpidump by Roger Hargreaves" and with an illustration of Herr Dumpidump looking especially dumpidumpish (forgive me but I can't stop repeating the word dumpidump... DUMPIDUMP!)
My six favourite European Mr Men character names...
6. Mr Muddle in Spain = Don Confuso
5. Mr Topsy-Turvy in Germany = Herr Kuddelmuddel
4. Mr Bounce in France = Monsieur Bing
3. Mr Dizzy in Portugal = Senhor Bobo
2. Mr Greedy in Sweden = Gubben Glufs Glufs
1. Mr Bump in Norway = Herr Dumpidump
Nice to meet you too!!
Looking for gardeners to follow here on Blue Sky too. My Dublin garden has been my pet project since I moved back from London and bought the house in 2020. The Ma and Aunt were great plantswomen and I picked up some of their know-how. Always want to learn too...
Hello Mary, Iβm
Irish in England, but maybe instead of #IrishTwitter we should now be using #IrishSky? π
We strongly suggest that academic publishers and other platforms that host research rapidly implement a Share to Bluesky button for their articles. Here's how:

Ah Helen, so sorry to hear this, especially about Dougie β€οΈβπ©Ή. Yer man is a fool, like many of his gender π.
Twitter/X was all about gathering a big group of followers and dominating the space. We fell for it. This new space, for now, offers us a chance to gather in decency/respect. A supportive place in a fragile world. Letβs use it well.
Have just arrived!! #MedSky #SASSky
