Hello again Some months ago the company that sold me my air fryer got in touch to tell me they were issuing a recall on the model I owned because it had been bursting into flames! I ignored this recall notice because it seemed like a faff to take a photo of the bottom of the air fryer, and then post it to an address, and then wait for a new replacement air fryer, and anyway while others had been bursting into flames I thought the chances of mine bursting into flames were minimal. I assumed recalls had to be issued, legally, as soon as more than, lets say, two air fryers burst into flames, but that realistically, statistically, the chances of it happening to mine were very slim. Anyway, this morning my air fryer burst into flames! I simply don't know what the lesson here is. In other news...
Hard relate to this opener to @annasavory.bsky.social’s latest newsletter - and also the only air fryer story you’ll ever need

Nothing to add, just wanted to say thanks and share something positive on a Friday.

Oh sorry, did I say ‘thank you’ at the end of the call like a decent human? I meant, of course, ‘I hope you all burn’

I’m in the middle of applying for PIP during the worst time in history to do that, great to know that my laughter (!) and basic politeness will count against me in this process.

Had to switch off notifications to this due to the sheer number of people who felt the urge to contact me individually to let me know the life expectancy of the American male. Did you know middle age starts the moment you’re halfway through your life so you won’t know you’re in it until you’re dead.

It's #LongCovidAwarenessDay2025 and these are the messages i want different groups to understand:
Medical professionals:
Our best healthcare teams dont have all the answers, nor do they pretend to. Instead, they read the evidence, they listen, they believe, they monitor 🧵
Close up of a human eye which has a third eyelid half closed across the eye, going from side to side rather than top to bottom as with our main eyelids
Fun fact: the nictitating membrane is the extra, often translucent, eyelid many animals have. Human nictitating membranes are vestigial, but a few cases of a full or partial third eyelid have been reported👇🏻

The British Library’s latest exhibition, which is now in its final days, is certainly a crowd-puller. On my visits and based on reports of others, it is often busy to the point of traffic-jams in some sections. This is no surprise: ‘Medieval Women’ may be…
Fun fact: babies can listen & retain sound information from the womb, esp related to melody/intonation. As such newborns prefer their mothers voice, & their cries can naturally have an accent reflecting their mother tongue to-be
