Granny Pratchett, who looked a lot like the queen herself, came along to watch this. Dad joked that she could’ve swapped places with the queen and no one would’ve noticed.

The BBC has become a mouthpiece for Reform UK policies. This must be stopped.

Sadiq Khan's hated ULEZ has made London's air cleaner and its children healthier. What this disaster means for populist, patriotic 'dirty air' campaigners on both sides of the Atlantic. Me for @noosphere.app Warning. May contain heavy sarcasm. www.noosphere.app/ulez-mayor-s...

Well this seems interesting and unsurprising archive.ph/vB0BP

Then there is the claim that ADHD is a social construct, not a neurodevelopmental condition. This is something Pemberton concludes after talking to neuroscientist Katya Rubia at King’s College London. Rubia says that while there is evidence of differences between the brains of people with ADHD and neurotypical people at the group level, it isn’t possible to diagnose ADHD from a brain scan.
She is right, of course. You can’t diagnose ADHD from brain scans. The same can be said for most, if not all, psychiatric and neurodevelopmental conditions. Most of these, like ADHD, are diagnosed by assessing symptoms and the effect they have on a person’s everyday ability to function. “My interview was hours long and they cherry-picked the bits that suited their push for presenting ADHD as a myth,” Rubia told New Scientist. “Biased programs like this one that push their view of ADHD as a mythical entity are irresponsible and will have detrimental effects.”
