Some good news. London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces. The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

Other folks are pattern matching this already, which is why they feel Bluesky has the juice. I think this so strongly that I'm betting a chunk of my future on it by working on @graze.social. If correct, this is the best shot we've had in 20 years to rework the social internet. Let's take it, IMO.

In discussing strategic leadership with a CEO of a VERY large company (a great guy), he said: "I believe that eight out of ten people who leave their job do so because of their leader. But two out of ten stay in spite of their leader." No research shows this, but it's likely accurate.

My top 10 clinical tips are simple. 1. Gain trust via listening. 2. First seek to understand, then to be understood. 3. Provide solutions to their problems not more problems. 4. Provide an optimum environment for recovery. 5. Promote self management. 6-10 repeat 1-5 😊
