A wonderful thread of how life expectancy with cancer has dramatically improved in the last 20 years.

For instance this type of lung cancer your chance of living a year is up from zero to almost 80%.

The second Boro played it a bit longer they relieved the pressure and made Birmingham play in their half. Passing it out isn’t always the right plan. #utb #boro

The reporting of this did the rounds a week or so ago but I think it’s nice to hear it from the horse’s mouth if you will. What a great and warm thing for him to have done. I hope people who might not have ever considered the importance of learning about others take something from it.

One in five children infected in the recent London measles outbreak were reportedly hospitalised.
Don’t believe the anti-vaxxers when they say “it’s a mild disease” or “it’s better to get immunity naturally”.
It isn’t.

There’s a very good Peter Hennessy book (‘The Secret State’) on this. I vaguely remember a detail about the PMs car belatedly starting to carry loose change in case he was out and about at the time of an attack and needed to use a phone box to order the retaliation. (May have garbled that)

I’m not sure. There are lots of policy issues that arise from people’s short term preferences- eg single use plastics. But as per the article policy can shape those preferences in pursuit of a better long term outcome, if we think it’s important enough.

Every time I'm in a restaurant I remember Kevin McAleer's reply to a waiter who told him the Soup Of The Day.

"Where there any other contenders?"
"Um, no?"
"A hollow victory, then".

Completely agree that this is concerning. But couldn’t a human author have made up all these citations in the same way? Doesn’t the problem come from the fact that 1) the peer review process hasn’t spotted it and 2) when the problems are identified the journal doesn’t immediately take it down?

Birdsong. Deafening, not drowned out by engine noise. Wonderful.

It’s definitely not just about income/wealth. It has a strong cultural dimension. A middle class person is probably a graduate, perhaps a professional or a manager, shops at Waitrose, reads a broadsheet newspaper, might be on Bluesky! A working class tradesperson might earn double their salary.

A national newspaper journalist went on a British TV channel to claim police stats showed asylum-seekers committed 44% of sex crimes in Dorset.

This shocking claim was treated as fact by the channel which promoted the clip on social media where it was amplified by AI.

Except... it's bollocks.

I liked him but cheerio Rob, hope you get relegated with Wolves. Mowbray for a period to stabilise things would be my best best, or Brendan Rogers. Please god not Russell Martin or Steven Gerrard

It was a thing when I was a kid 30 years ago, but much rarer than now. I don’t think anyone in my class of 42 kids (the 90s!) did it, whereas most of my kids’ classes are.

On Yom Kippur many Jewish people in Britain have their phones off to mark the holy day.

At that time, please join many of us to send a message of solidarity to British Jews.Thanks Together coalition for proposing.
