And no, it isn't "nannying neurotics" infecting our once great "resilient country" to share public health messaging highlighting the different signs to look out for for both heat exhaustion and heatstroke! "common sense" is NOT a substitute for public health messaging🙄 22/
A graphic compares signs of heat exhaustion and heatstroke, listing symptoms for each condition in a clear two-column format.

It is innumerate to compare the % of adverts containing any black person with the % of the population: unless adverts contained 1 person each. This massively exaggerates the (actual) "over-representation" of black voices and flips the actual under-representation of South Asians in TV advertising

People need to stop using being autistic as an excuse for being an arsehole. It just embeds misleading stereotypes. Yes, being autistic can mean you find social interactions difficult, I know I can. It doesn't mean you default to walking around with a sock on your c**k. www.lbc.co.uk/news/gregg-w...
Text from a news article saying ""It comes after a friend said Wallace had "no filter" and claimed he may have autism himself.

Wallace has never been tested for autism due to a feeling of responsibility that he passed it down to his son, the close therapist friend said.

They said they believed it may have contributed towards his alleged inappropriateness on set."
