If it was this clear, show the world what you know about their nuclear bombs 🤷‍♂️

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.

249 years later, we have this idiot.

A self correction is required, I got the name wrong, and the magazine is CD-Action. I honestly had a link beywee. The old beloved magazine and the studio in my head. Wrongly. Apologies.
The magazine is still going in a web form, but it's suddenly not as exciting.

It was the pre-internet era, so I doubt it. I don't think it had an online edition back then, maybe later after I stopped reading it.

A bit out of your scope, but you might appreciate it, that in my neck of the woods it used to be CD Project. Yes, that one. And it used to ship with CDs of demo games.

Phones to be banned in schools by law in England under government plans Education minister Jacqui Smith said the move would create

I suspect the government is going to get another crash course in the law of unintended consequences when pushing through overly restrictive knee-jerk policies without properly considering implications, especially, but not limited to, students with higher support needs.

It's not going to last long. There was some wee cheese producer in the Highlands that was accused of an E. coli contamination and git completely shut down. No questions, no way out.
If there are any infections traced back to these farms, the same will happen.

A sediment rock at its best!
I can't wait to be back at that beach ⛱️

The Kingsley is dead nice. I loved the sauna and the swimming pool there, and the breakfast is quite lush too

Both so cute! No furry cuddles for me 😔

He's a medical doctor, therefore his title is a professional one, not a scientific one. At a glance, it doesn't seem he's active as an MD.
Unfortunately, even a PhD doesn't mean a squat for one's intelligence levels.

Still cold and cloudy up here. Send some sunshine! 😔

I'm not entirely sure who'd be a target audience over here, but if you know you are, come hang out next week

It's something like $10k for an ambulance call out. I saw that story on Instagram, it really sucks.
In the US health is elective. Even if you're insured, there's no guarantee your insurer will actually agree to pay the bills. The country is a complete scam.

I have now read this piece and it is very good.

Massive respect for @merenbey.bsky.social and Iva for their persistence and documenting this torturous process.

Highly recommended reading for anyone who cares about reproducibility in science.

Just how synthetic is that, because canned dog food looks more like food than that 😐

History has proven Judith Butler right (and The Guardian wrong for censoring her). Just look at the reaction of Justin Webb, Hadley Freeman, Janice Turner and other TERFs to Trump. TERFs are not "part of the contemporary struggle against fascism."

You've not missed much!

Off to Aberdeen this morning 🫡
Safe travels, lads!

A breach of contract. What. The. Actual.
This makes me so angry my blood boils. This man should be banned from being anywhere close to the young lad right there right that moment!
Argh! I want to scream!

And so much respect to the judge for the position she took, maybe there is still hope.
