The Million Pound Shaman Scam on BBC iPlayer www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis... It's important to spread truth about deceptive or fake shamans. This programme is not it. Lazy, ill and uninformed, badly researched, sensationalist. BBC should know better.

The Million Pound Shaman Scam - Series 1: Episode 1
A spellbinding, self-styled shaman offers to heal people who are ill, suffering or in trouble. But her spiritual help comes with a heavy price.

I asked ChatGPT if anyone was researching ayahuasca from a particular perspective, that I’d just thought of. ChatGPT searched the web and decided the person closest to researching that is… …me.

Oh, so you beat a game on EASY and you think you're a real gamer?? Well... You are! And I hope you had fun doing it! All I know is that we should always celebrate gamers who play on easy or story mode just as much as those who play on hard. It's supposed to be FUN. Do it however you like. 😊

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 20/12/2024
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are in bed, cuddled tightly together. Green is alert and awake, while Blue seems drowsy and bleary.
Green: How's your fever?
Blue: Still up.

Blue cuddles closer to Green.
Green: Anything I can do to help?
Blue: Stay.

Green closes his eyes, cozying up to Blue.
Green: You're warm.
Blue: And you're wonderful.
Green: So are you.
Blue: No I'm not.

Green opens his eyes to look at Blue, who's still sleepily cuddled up to him.
Green: Why not?
Blue: Because I'm too warm.

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

This wrecks me—every single time.
Sentimental Moment or Why Did the Baguette Cross the Road?

Don't fill up on bread
I say absent-mindedly
The servings here are huge

My son, whose hair may be
receding a bit, says
Did you really just
say that to me?

What he doesn't know
is that when we're walking
together, when we get
to the curb
I sometimes start to reach
for his hand
