These are the reasons why I cut my own. It ain't stylish, and it's often missing chunks, but those hair clippers are one of my best ever purchases.

Star Trek's biggest mistake? Q.

That's a great article! I switched us to Vivaldi a couple of years ago, and now it's time to move the rest. So I need a guide focused on Linux and Android alternatives in the UK/EU. Or maybe do the leg-work of researching it myself...

I think that's only the electricity grid. Millions of homes (etc) are still heated via gas boilers.

"man" is a stretch

The Greens and Lib Dems can place our democracy in special measures. Any threat of a pact between them would be well tolerated by their supporters and the wider country, and would save the country from a Reform UK government.

Diagnosed but not believed: Autistic women and the medical gaze A GP I met for the first time three minutes ago is glancing over my electronic health record, trying to match it with the woman before him…

I loved this whole podcast!

But the sound levels (I listened via Dre Powerbeats) were all over the place, meaning I had to jump on the volume buttons every few seconds.

I feel bad for moaning now, sorry!

I had a lot of fun recording this. @yveshanoulle.bsky.social is a great interviewer.

Research poster for the "AutRad" project, with squares and circles in shades of purple and pink, and a photograph of a patient undergoing an MRI scan. The text on the poster reads: How do you care for autistic adults in diagnostic imaging and radiotherapy departments? We would like to hear from qualified radiographers who: • Are currently working in the UK • Have cared for an autistic patient in a diagnostic imaging or radiotherapy department in the last 12 months • Are happy to complete a short online questionnaire Survey Link: https://tinyurl.com/2z36bjnx This study has received approval from the School of Medical and Health Sciences REC at City St George's, University of London (ref: ETH2425-2255). For more information about the study, please email: emity.skelton.2@citystreorres.ac.uk

Just listened to part 1.
This podcast episode is an absolutely brilliant take-down of the ludicrous AQ "test", which assumes autistics are all equivalent to small boys who like trains.

Bravo!
