They really should talk to people who have to travel on wheels about these things. Anyone who is disabled and uses a wheelchair or mobility scooter could tell them wheeled drones arent going to work in the majority of this country. And this thing is even less likely to work.

Another great article from George. He has been one of the most vocal advocates for people with ME since he found out the issues behind it. We need more. People who are only just managing to survive cant fight the system.

The ridiculous announcement from the Tories that benefits will be paid on a card, stop people buying cigarettes and alcohol and stop people taking out cash. So people will just have to buy other expensive items and sell them. Its a proposal only someone who hasn't lived on benefits could make.

Today marks 25 years since 9/11. 8 months after the attack, psychiatrist Simon Wessely argued that illness reported around Ground Zero was being wrongly attributed to environmental toxins, suggesting “World Trade Centre Syndrome” was driven by social and psychological factors.

@octopus.energy this has been all I can see from my mini for over a month with no electricity meter reported. I emailed and got an irrelevant reply despite all the details I gave. I use the API as well and it also only reports gas not my electricity meter. Why has my electric meter disappeared?

Why are bodies so much work. You have to feed them the right things at the right times, exercise them and rest them, keep them clean. Then after doing all that they still break down on you.

Rewatching Stargate SG1 and something that never occured to me when I was younger is how autistic coded Daniel Jackson is. He is: 1) very hyper focused on his special interest 2) highly moral with a strong sense of injustice 3) terrible with people and social situations.

Hmm I wonder why an all female space flight is attracting so much hate when similar flights are usually completely ignored. Yes it was a corporate stunt and a few of the passengers are complete imbeciles but that doesn't make it open season on the crew of the flight (which was in fact all female).

I can believe this result. ME services in the NHS are terrible. I had a good experience relative to lots of people. My GP and the ME clinic were sympathetic but just didn't have anything useful to offer. For others their medical care has been actively harmful.

Want to know WHO these sick & disabled ppl who lose their benefits are going to be? By primary condition, up to: 90% of cancer patients 86% of people with MS 84% of those with serious psychiatric disorders 74% of stroke survivors 56% of claimants with cerebral palsy Do these sound trivial to you?

Most of my energy budget today was used by getting up, getting breakfast. Have been reclined since but still burning through points. Either I'm coming down with something or about crash hard. Pacing is supposed to be the answer to all our problems but the slightest thing can make it impossible #ME
