🚨 Please be aware that this scam is still running. Someone close to me was got by it a few weeks ago, and is still sorting out the carnage it caused. Although they spotted it pretty much straight away (cards cancelled etc), the scammers redoubled... www.which.co.uk/news/article...

It was the driest July on record at Kew since 1800 [caveat of likely a variety of different station placements since then], which also recorded no measurable rainfall - very impressive for the area. Local records go back to 1697.

It happened again! BP just announced staggering. Oil and gas companies should not profit from an energy crisis. Will you sign this petition calling on governments to put in place permanent taxes on oil and gas companies? act.350.org/sign/treaty-...

Sign the petition: The global tax treaty that can make polluters pay

Every time oil and gas prices spike, from war, shortage, or plain market panic, big oil and gas companies cash in. We pay more at the pump and on our energy bills. They pay almost nothing extra in tax...

#SevereMEweek @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social @andyburnham.bsky.social please educate yourselves on Severe M.E. Hundreds of thousands of people of working age have been left barely getting by because of this horrific disease. You can change that, by funding research, by finalising the delivery plan.

We are heartbroken by the passing of @jutraslab.bsky.social, whom we honored in 2021 with our ELA & whom all of us at BAL considered a friend. His research, mentorship, & partnership leave a lasting impact. His legacy continues to inspire us all. www.nhscotthanekamp.com/obituaries/D...

The same people who have been telling us "we can't stop climate change, instead we must adapt" have been hammering our capacity to adapt, through their promotion of austerity. What they're really saying is "keep burning fossil fuels for the sake of our donors". www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

It's a racket, like every policy of the radical right. Which now includes the Conservative Party under Kemi Badenoch, as well as Reform, Republicans etc. Everything they say they want to do for our sake they are in fact doing for the sake of the rich and powerful.

From Myalgic Encephalomyelitis International Consensus Primer (over a decade ago) "cardinal symptom: a pathological low threshold of fatigability that is characterized by an inability to produce sufficient energy on demand." NIH didn't really move the ball forward! drive.google.com/file/d/1A0Bv...

I like to read about past medical breakthroughs: it gives me hope that, one day, the same will happen to ME/CFS. In 1989, scientists found the major gene defect that causes cystic fibrosis, as reported in this article in Science. Francis Collins was one of its discoverers.

Surprise, surprise. The super-rich aren't really scared of tax bills they can easily afford. They live wherever they want, whatever suits their families, businesses & lifestyles best. Remember that when they try the same scare stories to stop a Wealth Tax. 👉 www.ft.com/content/655a...

Hi Lewis, Cardiologist and Long Covid Physician and Researcher here - I’d be happy to discuss with you exactly the ongoing threat repeated Covid infections are to children’s health. With science. Are you aware of the recent NIH Recover paediatric study results 1/

We should never forget how the BBC has changed this country by giving endless airtime to Nigel Farage and other rightwing extremists, while shutting out progressive voices.

And why is #r4today giving (yet again) such prominence to a hair-brained scheme that has little chance to ever be implemented? A GE is unlikely soon and the threat of Reform winning it is apparently receding. What is the justification for legitimising it?

How often I have to say: “I can do all of these things”. But only any 2 of them for 10 minutes a day each. Had a mobile phone once. Took 3 hours to charge, worked perfectly for 5 minutes then said -> 8%, shutting down! Very capable phone. Not tired or sleepy, just couldn’t store energy. #pwME

"The Netherlands can't stop climate change. Let's just embrace living under water." 🤦

The issue of what it means to recover from chronic illness has actually always been simple and straightforward: no longer ill. But because medicine has systematically refused to do the work to improve on those outcomes, they pretend that it's a complex idea with no right answer. Won't, not can't.

There are working class and vulnerable kids who will never have the life they should have had because of school closures. Let’s address that too, shall we?

Neoliberalism in a nutshell. UEFA on FIFA's proposal: “The moment external investors acquire ownership interests ... football changes forever. Commercial return becomes a permanent obligation. ... Every decision is no longer driven by what best serves the game, but by what best serves shareholders.”
