Funny how these "difficult conversations" about the UK always involve attacking already vilified minority groups, rather than say, offering even the mildest criticism of the richest man in the world running an unhinged racist misinformation campaign against us
Musk’s latest intervention is objectively hilarious but the problem of a hideous human using his enormous wealth & power to promote lies & liars in the U.K., despite having no links to or other interest in the country, remains acute.
That’s all this year.
Someone shared this with me, and I think it's beautiful. That's what I wish for everyone I love and appreciate in this New Year 2025, that your life is filled with an abundance of real luxuries. ❤️
For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025

Abhijoy I respect you deeply but that looks awful 🤣
New year, new me. Healthy eating.
January 1st: just ate an entire boursin with a tea spoon
I've been admiring indoor bike setups for a while and this is only making me want it more!
Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come.
‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair.
Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.
We don't defeat populists by calling out their lies. We tried that. Facts are complicated, and the audience for populism wants simplicity. It won't work.
We defeat populists by enacting bold political ideas that improve lives for the disenfranchised, and make the world seem less grotesquely unfair.

I drug people till they’re unconscious so that somebody else can stab them and cut out body parts.
We need and we want trains. Trains. A lot more trains
Comfortable trains
Clean trains.
Trains that have working toilets and some luggage space. Seat on trains for people not tiny insects. Maybe a bar. Some tasty snacks. Regular trains. TRAINS!
AI is generally & mostly bad for higher education & we should not participate in the simplistic charade that it is a technological panacea/innovation that will make learning & instruction better & everyone who does not agree is a stupid Luddite.
Absolutely bloody lovely and wonderful and perfect in every possible way. #GavinAndStacey
Tidy. That was well lush

Training in diversity and inclusion isn't just a tick box, it's about humanity & respect. This patient's experience demonstrates how things go wrong.

The @rcoa is to be congratulated on navigating the treacherous path defining scope of practice for Anaesthesia Associates via
-huge surveys of opinion
-aiding #Nap7 analysing real life practice
-Cochrane review
-professional liaison/listening
-pragmatic approach to patient safety & existing AAs

However the response by the @GMC is bordering on bizarre

They state this should be based on ‘evidence’ …..the College has done a good job in trying to gain, assimilate & disseminate what evidence there is. There is not much!
What has the GMC done?

Voyager scene. Seven of Nine (tertiary adjunct of unimatrix 01) is pictured. She has a dolphin shaped metal robotic implant around her left eye because she is a borgs. Closed caption reads, "Fun will now commence."
It's the weekend, baby
Happy Winter Solstice to everyone!
Today is the shortest day of the year, so days lengthen after this.
🎶 Last clinic, I gave you my slot, and the very next day, you just DNA'd 🎵

I’ll get there and I’ll be so proud to take her to my FRCA ceremony but this has put such a dampener on Christmas. I will come back and play the game of FRCA again.
You've got good stamina! 6 months of work is solid effort!
£10bn is more than all of the cost to eradicate the NHS high and significant risk maintenance backlog (the 'will disrupt treatment if it doesn't just kill people' problems). Cost in 2023/24 was £7.6bn.
Which would be a better use of this money if it was just knocking about somewhere.
That's great! But don't let being close make you complacent for the next round. It gives you reassurance that you're doing well, but there's still a need to work.
Rest up now for a month or so now though, you deserve a break no matter the outcome!
Sorry to hear it. All the best people need to do a retake 😉
