Working on leaving for the better place, it’s just so much nicer not to have racists and gobshites polluting everything.

“There is no intention of allowing the residents of the northern Gaza Strip to return to their homes." (Brigadier General Cohen, IDF) Ethnic cleansing, live-streamed on social media. Don’t ever, ever claim you didn’t know it was happening.

Feels a bit weird to see the Brits only now figuring out that the landed gentry, with the monarchy at its peak, are fundamentally just big landlords, i.e., grubby money grabbing arseholes. How did they not know this? Seriously like?

The fawning “warmly” is nauseating - I expect the EU, above any other institution, to acknowledge regressive and fascist tendencies and call out the politicians promoting them.
I warmly congratulate Donald J. Trump. The EU and the US are more than just allies. We are bound by a true partnership between our people, uniting 800 million citizens. So let's work together on a strong transatlantic agenda that keeps delivering for them.

There’ll be lots of post mortem hand wringing about strategies and such by democrats, but at some point everyone is going to have to acknowledge that most people in the US actually *are* backward, uneducated, racist misogynists. That has to be the starting point for next time.

Nobody has more faith in the efficacy of psychotropic medication than an allied health professional on a Friday evening 🤦♂️

Every specialty in medicine has “obvious” presentations that have multiple mimics and lack of knowledge about the conditions means inappropriate diagnosis and management. Doctors are the *only* professionals with the breadth and depth of knowledge to safely oversee care.

When people write off Joe Rogan’s fans as eejits, this is why. Dude makes a podcast, Harris is running a country and running for office. She has a schedule, he does not.
@KellyScaletta @joerogan You realize Rogan has a schedule, right?

If you’re dressing up for Halloween and your costume is funny, sexy, a pop culture in joke or a political statement it’s not a Halloween costume. You’re just an idiot in fancy dress. Halloween costumes must be scary, that’s the whole bloody point of it.

Israel continues its genocide, and its fanatic apologists continue their faeculent dribbling in the comments.
Gaza: People are struggling to obtain even a single loaf of bread. The risk of famine persists across the entire Gaza Strip amid intensifying violence. Safe, sustained humanitarian access into & across Gaza is desperately needed.

While describing unemployed actors as Hollywood icons, MAGA gobshites will now be claiming Springsteen is an unpopular has-been. Brain rot.
Bruce Springsteen: “Donald Trump is running to be an American tyrant. He does not understand this country, its history. Or what it means to be deeply American.”

Patients deserve better than having untrained amateurs interfering with their healthcare, and attempts to do that are getting a lot more much needed attention.
Concerns grow over way physician associates are used in NHS https://t.co/Lri29bhQ0Q

"Israeli strikes across Gaza killed 42 people on Wednesday as the military intensified a siege on northern parts of the Palestinian territory, forcing the World Health Organization to pause the latest phase of its polio vaccination campaign."

If I got landed with a medical student t saying anything as daft as this I’d be having a very frank conversation with the tutor. PAs do not know enough about anything to know how little they know about everything.

It would be irresponsible to waste limited public resources on massively expensive drugs that don’t have any meaningful benefit for patients. That’s without considering the risks associated with the treatment.
A frustrating setback as Alzheimer's drug #donanemab has been licensed for use in Britain but won't be available on the #NHS. We’ve posted an article on our website, to give you the low-down on why this decision was made and what it means: https://t.co/m46QyKIzWQ
