@masonduke23 and I wrote a Secret Santa generator. Give it a whirl for your family or office Christmas gifting!

Them: Wow, why are so many people becoming more obnoxious, careless, angry, forgetful, anxious, distracted, clumsy, irritable, impulsive, sluggish, foggy, flat? Me: Because repeat Covid infections are frying people’s brains and bodies. Them: NO I DON'T LIKE THAT ANSWER

Every now and then I say to myself, "Am I nuts to be trying to avoid covid infection? No one else is." And then I think about what those scaremongering bedwetters at the British Heart Foundation say.

This Male Kestrels over 10 years of age, give him a retweet if you thinks he's a beauty, taken yesterday in Preston UK.

If you want higher pupil attendance, clean the air. If you want higher staff attendance, clean the air. If you want less illness, clean the air. If you want to improve pupil behaviour and development and outcomes, clean the air. It's simple science, not rocket science.

1. As a consultant analyst that generally presents to the C-suite of organisations, I am often asked to produce short, concise explanations of both biological and geopolitical risks. Regarding Covid-19, I use the same summary with both C-level clients and friends:

Every time I advocate for more covid mitigations, someone screams “survival of the fittest” at me. Tells me that if I’m “too weak” to survive Covid, I don’t deserve to live. That society can’t be expected to cater to people like me. They’ve got it completely backwards 🧵

This ended up raising $5,000 for @feederofcats, so here's a thread on whether President Zelenskyy wore a suit. 🧵

I finished doomscrolling and forced myself to go out for a walk, and as I walked along the dangerously humid streets, and as I walked through unmasked coughing crowds, and as I walked by grim headlines on newsstands, I was no longer doomscrolling no, now, I was doomstrolling.

On Sunday I traveled to the middle of the desert to capture this: The ISS against our sun. What I didn't expect: the sun producing a magnificent flare at the same time A once-in-a-lifetime shot I'm thrilled to share with you. See the uncropped shot or get the print in the reply

It's June. You don't have the flu you have covid. Christ almighty. People so badly wanted to be lied to didn't they

Why did Ukraine publicly disclose so much info about Operation “Spiderweb”? That’s a very good question — and the answer reveals how modern warfare now goes far beyond the battlefield. 1/n

Look at that list again. What do they have in common? Labour is fixing them all. Some instantly (job protections), some gradually (Right to Buy). Starmer isn’t just undoing the damage of the past 14 years – he’s dismantling Thatcherism. Tell me again how Labour are ‘red

Brexit was meant to be a win. Instead, the UK lost 330,000 jobs. Exports tanked by 27%. Imports collapsed by 32%. London’s financial crown? Gone. Brexit didn’t free Britain. It broke it. Here’s the brutal truth no one’s talking about:

Trump’s tariff schedule hits 190 countries in bewilderingly complex, yet consistently catastrophic ways. We are all struggling to process the scale and 3rd order impacts. But it’s by far the most damaging policy of his two presidencies. 🧵on early impact on different nations

Please ignore tired pieces in publications like the Atlantic that are still trying to stigmatize mask wearing. Wearing a mask to prevent sickness from airborne viruses is a science-informed position, and it has been that way for over 100 years.

I did a bit more digging about a recent BBC news article about how installing air quality monitors had a 'dramatic' effect on health. It is an initiative by @sthelenscouncil and @WarringtonBC called the Healthy Air for Healthy Lungs project. So what's it all about?... 1/🧵

Really frightening insight into the human propensity for fantasy and dissonance that people can look at this chart and come up with some other reason than covid for what's happened to population health since 2020

A reminder that the UK's growing disability and economic inactivity levels were triggered by the COVID pandemic, off the back of a previously declining trend 📈 The only route out of this humanitarian and economic disaster is serious biomedical research into Long COVID & co.

🧵 What really happens when someone dies of measles? It's not "just a rash." Measles can be a long, painful, and utterly preventable death. I’ve seen it. Here’s what happens — in plain terms. (1/)
