Thank you, Carole Cadwalladr! An interesting read! open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Silenced
Facebook's silencing of a whistleblower shines a light on a private justice system and a "post-state" future where tech bros write the rules. Or as we call them, "laws"

I have stage four cancer – there will be no cure, but death isn’t necessarily imminent: this is how it feels to live in the long middle
When you are cured, the world cheers; when you are dying, it mourns. But when you are simply maintaining, the world is at a loss

Shocking reality: 1 in 4 older hospital patients develop #delirium, yet most families have never heard the word. We need to do much better in improving public awareness of delirium.

I've seen a lot of people dying in my job. But I've not been present throughout an experience of ordinary dying until now. If interested to know more this film by Kathryn Mannix is spot on. It's sad but it's really not so bad. With a book, cup of coffee, family chat. m.youtube.com/watch?v=CruB...

Mrs Smith, 78, hip fracture patient, described as "confused & aggressive" Ward round note: "?UTI. Start antibiotics." No mention of "delirium" My reaction: What about her distress - untreated pain? Dehydration? Medication review? Telling the family the diagnosis? Etc. Why we need Delirium 8 👇

Always thought this video with 800 views by a guy on YouTube named Daniel Cupps should have a few million more. It is even better that it ends in the most reprehensible way I can think of. No better way to prove the point.

When we refer to the Liberal Democrats, we generally shorten it to “LibDems”. So why don’t we do likewise with ReformUK and refer to them as REFUK? It would have the added benefit of succinctly conveying what they stands for! .

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Rainy, windy, and cold on Halloween week? Oh, it's definitely chili season now. I recently refreshed and updated this chili from deep in the SK archives. It’s really quick, has a short ingredient list, and (finally) looks good enough to eat. smittenkitchen.com/2007/07/red-...
