Interesting read this, especially for those who seek to influence this slippery lot... Well done Dr Hilger.
Over the years I have lost my van va voom for causes to get behind... But Universal Basic Income increasingly seems a powerful lever for better lives for many. Dissuade me.
the Internet was invented for THIS. Team was messing about with AI song generator for non traditional dissemination of research.
With only our multi million technology in social care portfolio to work with. It came up with... aisonggenerator.ai/share/Wi-Fi%...

Scary stuff... Principled woman.
Couple of points on "ending" overseas recruitment for care jobs.
1. Important to remember that reality has already moved on from the very high migration levels of 2022-2023. Cleverly's policy changes already hugely reduced care visa numbers (chart from @healthfoundation.bsky.social)

I went to the Tate Modern yesterday. In the Rothko room with all the Serious Art Connoisseurs there was a ~5 year old kid who walked up to each painting, pointed at it and shouted 'RECTANGLE' at each one in turn, then left the room.
Perfectly sums up the situation for many societies... Great piece.
Not sure I feel fed up or flattered that a large bundle of my research papers in here. Does it count as a REFable impact? Another year when my ALCS allocation prevents me buying a yacht, 😢

There are few certain things in health forecasting. Probably only demographics and that elderly frail people facing surgery will need some social care support after... From someone. What's the rationale for not discussing??
You know those dystopian Sci fi films? It's like the prequel to I Robot meets Gillette manly man adverts...
Batshit crazy is about right.
We are totally f***ed... Time for big ideas, the sorts of engineering solutions humanity needs.
No! Let's invent a virtual group of whining cartoon characters to "empower" us all.
But I'm hungry.
Never mind that dude... Emoji? Memecoin?
When you think you're having a bad day! Catastrophic stuff for individuals... Hope wise heads prevail.
#R4Today "going underground" for Rick Buckler's obit segment... Really? Bit lazy and poor taste. And that's from me!
I ate a cow eye we were dissecting, for 50p... it did not go down well, in every sense.
atalentforidleness.blogspot.com/2020/03/lets... struck by how flipping relevant much of this album feels... It has aged well. Miss Lou Reed.

How's your morning going? A bizarre confluence of circumstances led to me driving my 78yr old dad's ridiculous Audi SUV, with a hat on the parcel shelf, BOOM radio on by default, and heating at 28°C and him shouting at loading vehicles in a medieval city.
A circle of hell worthy of Dante
There are no bounds to the loathing I feel towards the expressions, "learnings", "journey", " and bloody "personas" (aka, stereotypes).
It's not the language (ugly that it is), but because they are mostly used when obfuscating, dodging responsibility, or flack (cf. NHS, HE, police, LAs)

If you are an academic and leave journal author signatures until the day offices close, or send a paper through for "over Xmas" reading, you are getting Temu presents and your stocking will contain only coal and a wrinkly dried satsuma.
😂😂👍 Go hard or go home....
Until done! 😉 Probably 7 mins or so. If I did again, would probs just use normal sauté setting for longer
Yeah, high sauté in instant pot, with a tea spoon of brown sugar and pinch of salt. Leave, but stir... Not too much, but stir. Deglaze, with tiny bit of stock if using in a pressure cook.
