Finished Lord of the Flies and then watched Hamnet (wow). My emotions can’t take much more. But wow. What acting.

Add to that Sinners. He’s done Marty Supreme & One Battle After Another too. Crammed in as many BAFTA nominations as possible ready for tomorrow’s special event with my son!!! πŸ€«πŸ€©β­οΈπŸ†

β€˜Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end.

Keely Hodgkinson broke the indoor 800m world record last night - set on the day she was born 24 years ago.

She becomes only the second Brit to hold a WR along with Jonathan Edwards' triple jump mark.

Me at 3am when my TSH is low.I might just get up now & take the pond cover off as the frogs will get trapped. We need chick peas. I wonder if I should renew the passports 10 months in advance. I could look up intersectionality in an actual book index. No - just go back to sleep. My toes are cold.

BBC reporting that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

There is no precedent for a senior member of the royal family being placed under arrest in modern British history. A seismic moment for the monarchy.

I will forever be delighted by the day I was the anaesthetist for a stroke thrombectomy. The interventional radiologist was one digit below me on the GMC register and the stroke physician one digit above on the GMC register!! Med school buddies all doing the same case! It will never happen again.

It's even worse because there's plenty of use of the feedback section in evaluations for airing grievances, beefs, etc that they didn't the courage or the decency to say to people in person.

Yes, you can also get surprises the other way

Sometimes you get feedback opposites e.g. too confident/under confident!

I know of many people whose ongoing success proves those words wrong. Being told 'you will never', 'you are not suited' and so on - then doing exactly what they've been told they can't. Inspiring, yet exhausting.
Experiences?

and emotions. Ruminating over negative feedback, sometimes untrue & without context. Worth remembering that those words can be remembered for a lifetime. We should be mindful of what we write especially words that are permanently recorded. Feedback process should be better

Words written anonymously in MSFs, MTRs and other feedback mechanisms especially to resident doctors can cause months, sometimes years of harm. I've provided pastoral support to many literally wounded by harsh negative words without comeback. Resident doctors (and others) are humans with feelings...

Given the toxicity of social media, a moral question now faces all of us: is it still ethical to use it? | Frances Ryan With so many platforms rife with racism, misogyny and far-right rhetoric, there must be a point where decent people walk away, says Guardian columnist Frances Ryan

When ministers defended Starmer over Mandelson’s links to Epstein this week, they rushed to X - a platform that lets users strip photos of women and girls.

Is it surely time for the government to log off X? And is social media too toxic for all of us?

Emergency call released of boy who swam for hours to save family Austin Appelbee, 13, swam to get help for his mother and siblings after they were swept out to sea.

This emergency call made by the absolutely outstanding legend and brave 13 year old is quite something. Quite moving to think what he went through. The swim was roughly equivalent to running two marathons for him

Do β€˜No’ people know the are no people? What is it that drives the β€˜no person’? No people can stifle innovation & hold things back. I wonder if they realise what would happen if the said yes or maybe.

The RCoA will stop posting on X After monitoring developments on the social media platform X, we have taken the decision to stop posting following a rise in harmful content and abusive behaviour.

I had missed this. Kudos to @rcoanews.bsky.social for stopping posting on X. We need more bodies to stand up like this.
