I absolutely love Living Streets in Edinburgh this month and wish we could have it permanently. Couple of things though… closed streets need to be signposted further in advance and cars who come on to the closed street anyway should be heavily penalised. Way too many cars on the Cowgate today

Someone posted the Ting Thai Caravan green curry recipe on Edinburgh Reddit the other day. I made it tonight and it was absolutely phenomenal. Hands down the best Thai curry I’ve made at home - I’d have been happy to eat it in a restaurant.

The Princes Street and Salisbury Crags are combining to put strain on the city. Maybe there needs to be a message to the public: please walk, cycle or use public transport if you can so the transport network and emergency services can do the best they can for the city. @edinburghminute.com

Holyrood Park: fire service to remain 'for a couple days'. Current exclusion zone includes Queens Drive and path to Dumbiedykes and Holyrood Gait. It's possible to access Holyrood Rd through the parliament grounds. Roads still busy with lots of cars turning around #EdTravCyc

I was pretty much forced by my parents into a summer fruit picking job in Ireland aged 14. It was fucking bleak and the pay was dreadful. Pickers were supervised by older teenagers who were drunk on power and would regularly take full punnets for themselves and collect the cash.

This is astonishingly tone deaf after laying off thousands of staff within the last week or so, with more job losses to come. Also, Fallout 4 was wank.

Remember Streeting's review into whether young people are being overdiagnosed with ADHD, autism, and mental health issues? Well, the interim report is out, and there's a reason the media are silent on it (spoiler: it proves what a lot of us have been saying all along)

In others, notably ADHD and autism, rising diagnoses and referrals appear to exceed changes in underlying epidemiological prevalence and are likely to reflect a combination of: improved recognition changing help-seeking behaviour institutional incentives pressures within existing service pathways Across both ADHD and autism, best currently available population-based estimates remain relatively stable, while administrative diagnoses, self-identification and recorded service demand have increased substantially. In autism, the evidence also points to particularly rapid growth in identified need within educational systems, including increasing identification among girls and among young people without learning disability.These patterns suggest that rising demand is not simply the result of increasing prevalence, but of several processes operating simultaneously, including: real increases in distress in some groups improved recognition of previously unmet need changing expectations about support systems that frequently rely on formal diagnosis as the primary route to assistance Across the system, support is too often accessed through pathways that are slow, fragmented and heavily dependent on diagnostic categorisation. While diagnosis remains essential for some forms of clinical decision-making, the evidence suggests that current arrangements do not always provide the most effective or efficient way of identifying and responding to need. In particular, where access to support depends heavily on formal diagnosis, demand for diagnostic assessment can increase more rapidly than systems are able to respond, generating long waiting times, duplication of assessment and pressure on specialist services. The next phase of the review will therefore focus on clarifying the relationship between distress, diagnosis and need, and on examining how systems might respond more effectively to these patterns. A central objective will be to identify opportunities for developing more coherent, evidence-informed care pathways that enable support to be provided earlier and more proportionately, while ensuring that specialist services are available in a timely and appropriate manner for those whose needs are most complex.

I’m very strongly leaning toward getting a Switch 2 before the price increase. What games are good? I’m currently thinking Donkey Kong Bananza, Star Fox, Indiana Jones if I can overcome my 60FPS snobbery. Metroid Prime 4 is an avoid, right?

The reason there are no more good ideas in tech is that every office has these "low odor" whiteboard markers. Ten years ago, every Design Thinking session participant was way more creative because they were strung out on marker fumes.
