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

Freedom of scientific inquiry: reclaiming space for controversy
Nature Reviews Immunology, Published online: 01 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41577-026-01306-1No matter how small the possibility, or how inconvenient the topic, scientists must maintain the humility to acknowledge that we could be wrong. Our inability to remain open and engage in rational discussions about controversial subjects may be eroding public trust in science.

Just a photo but so much in it: this woman is comforted by a psychologist while rescuers are looking for her daughter - she still could be under the rubble of apartment building hit by Russian drone in Dnipro this night.

Big news from @edvardmoser.bsky.social and @m-bmoser.bsky.social — the grid cell toroidal manifold, like the HD ring, is preconfigured before experience. Guardamagna et al. show it’s there at P10, before eye opening, before locomotion. The spatial map exists before the animal has ever navigated.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.
Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting
"They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head."
An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries.
"We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

Your support network is denigrated
You can't leave your house
You're afraid of dying but can't access healthcare
You cannot trust the people closest to you
