I know that there’s no way England are going to score another 228 runs. I know that. However, I can almost guarantee that, like last night, I will be waking up regularly to check the score because I can’t quash that tiny glimmer of useless hope. #England #Cricket #TheAshes

A new dam on the Klabava River south of Prague to protect critical habitat hit bureaucratic delays…but a colony of beavers took things into their own paws, building a series of dams in the same locations the engineers had planned, creating a wetland that saved the Czech govt 1.2M euros. Read more:

Watching US UK School Swap. It is WILD! The English kid is coming to a rural Arkansas house and the adults have spent time locking away all the knives, guns and crossbow bolts 😳 #SchoolSwapUKtoUSA

Not happy with the result of the #GreatPotteryThrowdown ***Spoiler below*** One potter made a perfect amphora and yet a potter with a broken one won.

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

Jim Sciutto@jimsciutto.bsky.social · last yr.

Trump has not uttered a critical word about Putin but he and his VP publicly belittled the leader of the nation Putin invaded.

I’m properly annoyed by #CelebrityHunted. The hunters apparently use “the power of the state” and yet they don’t seem to know that bugging people’s houses isn’t legal without permissions at the highest level. You can’t just slip one into someone’s house on the fly. That’s cheating.

After today’s #TheHundred sell off I’ve been looking through the teams just in case this is my year to commit to watching. I’m delighted, delighted I tell you, to see that they’re all sponsored by crisps! So wholesome. Considering #NorthernSuperchargers sponsored by my faves McCoys 😂

Would you like to hear from some people with #aphasia about their views on #AI? New podcast from #RCSLT with me and Caitlin Longman. You can also hear Chat GPT over-promise its SLT credentials to support language practice! (Take that bit with a pinch of salt!). m.soundcloud.com/rcslt/how-is...

Another BIG #aphasia question. Do we need to get greater consensus on the aim of aphasia rehabilitation? Whose opinion on this matters? What does recovery after aphasia look like? Are there benefits of greater consensus? If so, how do we go about getting greater consensus?

My BIG picture questions aim to promote reflection & discussion. My own are: 1. Research the things that matter to people living with aphasia. 2. Aphasia research should do better to improve the lives (not just the components of language) of people affected by aphasia. 3. Solid data trumps opinion
