Want to avoid microplastics in your brain? Here’s how you could Ditching bottled water and using glass containers for leftovers could slash your exposure to the tiny particles, a study suggests

Striking conclusion after findings that human brains can contain as much microplastics as a small spoon

β€œBottled water alone can expose people to nearly as many microplastic particles annually as all ingested and inhaled sources combined”

Pssst, want to know what public money is really being spent on while Wes Streeting cancels another Labour pledge of building more hospitals?
Β£11 billion 840 million of State aid (public money) is being pumped into 74 deregulated Special Economic Zones (SEZs), that's Β£160 million per zone.

I wish for everyone to find comfort in the little things that guide us and give us hope:

πŸ•―οΈ The gentle notes we play to brighten the space, for ourselves and for others.

🎢 The melodies that remind us we’re all connected, no matter where we are.

On Searching for a Book of Stamps
Β 
check in wallet
check once more
hunt through bag
look in drawer
Β 
feel coat pockets
peer in pot
rifle desk
find them not
Β 
shake out shoes
lift up hat
inspect fridge
ask the cat
Β 
scour the shelves
peek in purse
turn out cupboards
swear & curse
Β 
go to shop
buy new stamps
put in wallet
next to stamps

I’m reminded that to French people Chat GPT can sound like β€œcat, I have farted”… (Chat, J'ai pΓ©tΓ©)

But when it’s pronounced as ChatteGPT, it would be the even more vulgar β€œpussy, I’ve farted”.

So, arguably we could start calling CHAT GPT by the classy name of β€œFanny Farts”
