Here's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Abandoned, dismissed and gaslighted: there is no excuse for the way ME sufferers have been betrayed | George Monbiot
Changes in guidance and science seem to have little impact on millions of devastated lives. It’s a social crisis playing out behind closed doors, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Now that's how you respond to a Russian attack on your airport. Russia *wants* sabre-rattling and threats. That would help them recruit/conscript more troops for the war (to fight the NATO "threat"). Never give Russia what it wants. What it *doesn't* want is 1,000 Patriot missiles for Ukraine.

I'm deeply ashamed of my profession. Its treatment of Jason Arday - right across the board - fills me with disgust and horror. The tormenting of a highly vulnerable man was seen as monetisable entertainment. This is a stain that won't wash off. bylinetimes.com/2026/08/19/j...

Crippling brainfog! Often can't write at all, and when I can, the fog seems to manifest as a weird form of ADHD. I can only focus when something's new or exciting, like e.g. a fight scene. Trying to put the finishing touches on the final draft OTOH is plain agony and takes months. #SpoonieAuthChat

I don't know Arday and I didn't follow the story closely. But I knew it was going to end exactly this way almost from the start. Don't tell me experienced journalists didn't. Everyone who reported on this story needs to take a long, hard look in the mirror. This was tantamount to murder.

Meanwhile: - the NHS is creating more Maeves - the government only postpones anything that could actually meaningfully address that - our charities enable the govt's gaslighting, bound by their NDA's💔 - It is left to other people with #SevereME to try and save the ones that can't avoid hospital

This statement. Don't know the guy or his politics, but this right here. Why is it controversial to love Jewish people and hate the current government of Israel? To despise Hamas *and* the attempted genocide of the Palestinian people? There's no contradiction in loving people and hating murder.

Managed to speak to an ME specialist at last. Went really well, but been flat on my back for 10 days as a result. And that's a good outcome for me 😞 What are you supposed to do when speaking to a doctor is bad for your health?

Everyone in Moscow now knows they've lost the war. Interesting to see how that plays out in the coming weeks. Also have to wonder how many of the air defence systems protecting Moscow are actually dummies. Always worth remembering Russia is run by a KGB officer, not the military.

Condemning riots isn't enough. We need policy action, including an immediate appraisal of X as a vehicle for coordinating far-right disorder. And we need political leadership, to challenge white nationalism as an idea, not to validate it daily and then complain when it turns violent.

The response to two Member’s questions about ME in the House was pathetic. ‘integrated care boards (ICBs) should continue to commission appropriate services for patients with very severe #ME/CFS as needed.’ @sharonhodgsonmp.bsky.social There are no appropriate services, none. Disgusting!

1) A new study estimated the disability and prevalence of Long Covid and compared it to NIH research funding. Long Covid should receive $740 million per year, but it only gets 14%-50% of that amount, depending on how you count. ME/CFS only gets 1% of its proportional funding...
NIH funding for Long Covid is not in proportion to its estimated years lived with disability.

Surprised everyone's just assuming it was Trump who kicked this off. It's the Israelis going after Iranian leadership, and they just happened to catch Khamenei and half his leadership above ground at a meeting, right when the US decided to go? 60/40 it was Netanyahu who pressed the trigger.
