Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts are amazing even now. He animated the sequence by himself for more than four months -- without computers or even an easy way to check his work. We're looking into how he did it: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/how-ray-ha...
His utterly unhinged TV appearance, full of his usual conspiracy theories & pathetic anti-vaccine memes, has made it into international newspapers Alt text: Independent newspaper: RFK Jr loses temper in angry clash with CNN host over measles & COVID: “You want to sit here and attack me?”
Narad Trabant@borisogon.bsky.social · 3d agoWell, yes.
The author of the paper quoted is an antivaxxer too incompetent for the MAHA set. This is the danger with doing your own research when you are not a subject expert. A Google search is not research.

Clacton: FINISH HIM I have said for a long time that Farage is by far the most dangerous UK politician. If you want to know what would happen with him at the helm, just look to the shit show in the US. Reform is British MAGA, funded with the same corrupt money and fueled by hatred and division.
Michael Sparkes@sparkesmichael.bsky.social · 4d agoWell done Manchester. Next up Clacton. Please put more nails in the Farage/Reform coffin
Rand Paul is such a dire human being. A doctor who prioritises an anti-science narrative and is actively vindictive about anyone who believes otherwise. We he goes low… he is subterranean.
Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · 6d agoNew, from me: It is fine to disagree with aspects of the pandemic response. But what we saw at Fauci's hearing was something different: a show trial where cranks tried to threaten and shift blame to an public servant. Here is why this is bad for all of us.🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/watching-t...

Important editorial piece by @nigel-edwards.bsky.social and @drlkvaughan.bsky.social Amos & Ockenden have not revealed a new phenomenon in maternity care. Rather reignited focus on a chronic culture crisis. Importantly it recognises that such issues are endemic across modern healthcare.

Not even slightly surprising that there is a direct link to Trump here. Infantino is just going with the flow. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...
Sam Freedman@samfr.bsky.social · 6d agoIt's kind of impressive than Infantino has managed to find a form of corruption so blatant and extreme that sports administrators are willing to draw a line despite the offer of massive bribes.

Jonathan Portes@jdportes.bsky.social · last wk.But Burnham deserves credit for -unlike Starmer - immediately realising that Mahmood's proposals to effectively expel hundreds of thousands of care workers would not win a single vote back from Reform at the same time as alienating anyone with a shred of decency.
RFK Jr. isn’t terrible because he used heroin. Frankly, I wouldn’t care if he was using currently. He’s terrible bc he is an unqualified, science-denying, eugenicist, sex pest who wants to force his conspiracy beliefs onto other people - especially children - & has gotten people killed w/o remorse.
Thomas [DARK MODE], DO@tom.medsky.social · last wk.I feel like we have to do this all the time... I don't care that RFK did drugs. Plenty of people have done drugs without dismantling decades of public trust in health and science. People with substance use disorder get stigmatized enough. H/t @epiren.bsky.social

Burnham is simultaneously more policy-interested than his predecessor but also much more adept at signalling values that align with Labour's core vote.
Farrukh@implausibleblog.bsky.social · last wk.Andy Burnham, "To me, carers should be the best paid people in society, not the worst" "Many people from other countries have been caring for my dad" Andy Burnham praises migrants to the UK who care for our elderly, a stark contrast to Keir-island-of-strangers-Starmer
"A record total of 293,778 out of 867,935 people on the #nursing register are now Black, Asian or minority ethnic, equating to 33.8%...slowed growth has been driven by a plummeting in number of nursing and midwifery staff coming to work in the UK from overseas"

Here's my Odyssey review. It's about Jason and the Argonauts. joelmorris.substack.com/p/jason-and-...
Jason And The Argonauts is still the best popcorn-classics movie ever, and Talos is why.
Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion adventure story remains unbeatable.

Cross-party talks always make everything better. I’m slightly disappointed that there isn’t a Royal Commission On Adult Social Care Reform, though. Adds class, dignity, peers, and above all, slowness.
One of the biggest areas in critical care echo is its role in haemodynamic phenotyping. This excellent talk from Prof Sam Orde highlights this. Join us in September in London at our course to learn more. The talk: lnkd.in/eUDCm5xe The course booking link: lnkd.in/e93iqdXd #echofirst #pocus
