My colleagues & I have taken a huge gamble to set up @thenerve.news We’re trying to build a new independent publication from the ground up. Social media is our only distribution for now.

Sharing this article in your networks would make a huge difference. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

Much prefer the brightness of your capture. Isn’t it sad that the church and graveyard, so rich in local history, are now in the hands of a developer bent on creating “accommodation”?

I loved it - and the book reads like you enjoyed writing it!

Slipped getting into a bath in a bathroom showroom (wearing socks) - and did need surgery

Loved the Cracked Mirror, a great read!!

This time-lapse captures 17 hours of axonal growth from a chicken dorsal root ganglion explant, visualized through the actin cytoskeleton using live confocal imaging.
I just submitted this video to the Nikon Small World in Motion competition. Today is the last day to upload yours! 😉

Genius!! Hurrah!!

Well, the wildfire has nearly reached Loch Doon. Totally out of control and nearly 2 days in. About 15 miles it's travelled, I reckon.
There is a small river to the left, if it doesn't stop the fire, my area is at risk.

Not a post I can “like” - thank you for highlighting the enormity. Dreadful prospect. Take care.

The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named BrooklynDad_Defiant! (@mmpadellan ). The post reads: "HAHA, folks in Greenland are making these hats go viral ahead of Usha Vance’s visit there. I LOVE THIS!!! " Below the text, there is an image of a red baseball cap being held by a hand. The cap has the text "MAKE AMERICA GO AWAY" written on it in white letters, along with a small circular logo on the side that appears to be the Greenland flag.

The whole world now feels this way toward us, TBH.

Cannae wait for the posh gig at the Concert Hall in Glesga!

The hypocrisy is off the charts.

Don’t worry - I will, especially once the season gets started!

Too kind. Grateful for your interest, encouragement & suggestions for improvement - thank you!

While the bird flu gets worse and egg prices skyrocket, Trump’s team fired employees who were working on the bird flu response.

Now, they’re frantically trying to reverse course.

This is the opposite of efficiency.

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts.

Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

4. USAID’s contract supporting deadly outbreak prevention, detection, and response, including Ebola and Bird Flu, in 50 countries – terminated.

Musk Scandal at USAID Takes Ugly Turn, Putting Starving Kids at Risk Two U.S. nonprofits that manufacture a treatment sent by USAID to help severely malnourished children abroad say the process is in chaos. This isn’t what Marco Rubio said would happen.

3. All supplies of US-manufactured emergency food packets for starving children on the brink of death – terminated. newrepublic.com/article/1919...

I am in Cairo, where I have been visiting with health organizations, including WHO and other partners of USAID.

Trump and Musk say lifesaving assistance is not affected by the shutdown of USAID and support to WHO.

I can tell you that is 100% false. #SaveAID www.instagram.com/share/_ogGRd...

Looking forward to #SnowPatrol tonight but couldn’t access iPhone tickets on the new “improved” @Ticketmaster.com app - turns out the fix is to switch from Large Text in Display Zoom to “Default” - Thank you, Chad Conwell discussions.apple.com/thread/25550...

The new fly box is filling up with the results of this winter’s fly tying class. So much learned & so much to learn!!

The universe speaks in mysterious ways.

Staffing was ‘not normal’ at airport tower, according to a preliminary F.A.A. report. Staffing at the air traffic control tower at Ronald Reagan National Airport was “not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic,” according to an internal preliminary Federal Aviation Administration safety report about the collision that was reviewed by The New York Times. The controller who was handling helicopters in the airport’s vicinity Wednesday night was also instructing planes that were landing and departing from its runways. Those jobs typically are assigned to two controllers, rather than one.

Trump, Vance, Hegseth, and Combs all said they were briefed on the collision, so they all knew about this internal FAA report when they went on TV to blame minorities for the crash.

It’s all beginning to feel a bit 1984. We’re in a battle against autocrats and oligarchs who are using money and misinformation to dismantle democracies. That’s why we’re looking for 1,984 new monthly supporters to make our biggest and boldest plans a reality (see link in bio)
