Loving the new Apple Intelligence Mail “priority” update. And by loving, of course I mean hating. First thing it confidently prioritised was a scam ATO email. Fab.

TT changed the game when it came to advocacy on social media. That algorithm made it easier than ever to get your message to millions of people, regardless of follower count. Real change in healthcare has happened on several occasions in part because of TikTok. This is a big loss in a lot of ways.

Sitting outside after finishing a run of shifts, reflecting on my recent resus cases with variable outcomes/some insuccesses. Doom scrolling whilst pondering my slightly wilting agapanthuses, and came across this. Rohin - I greatly appreciated your 5am meditations! Well worth the watch.

2024: be gay do crimes 2025: malfunction and destroy civilizations
Screenshot of a tweet by Noah Revoy that reads "Women need the boundaries of the patriarchy and a mission in life which is usually a husband, children and home. Absent such structure they malfunction and destroy civilizations." above it is the caption, "Retweet if you're currently malfunctioning and destroying civilizations"

My fave icebreaker is 'let's do some brief introductions.' The #MedEd pitfall of many 'icebreakers' is they are unrelated to what follows, add extraneous cognitive load, and can make people deeply uncomfortable (introverts, neurodiverse, CALD etc) which all works against subsequent learning.

An ode to something heinous. When someone asks me to state an interesting fact about myself, or “two truths and a lie”, I panic and if you could read my thoughts it would just be “AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH”.

Googling Stuff: Then v Now.
This title if the comic is ‘Googling Stuff…’
The comic shows two columns: on the left is “Then” showing search results with one thing listed as “the thing you want”

On the right column is ‘Now’ - also showing search results but in this case it’s a whole bunch of stuff you don’t need:

That's why we've launched 'HomeKeeper' - our plan for discounted mortgages to rein in big bank profiteering. HomeKeeper will save someone with the average mortgage (of $589,560) approximately $4284 a year. It'd be available to any owner-occupier. Not property investors.

“There is no prize to perfection, only an end to pursuit.” I’ve watched the Arcane season finale far too many times. Every episode is a literal work of art. A beautiful exploration of family, friendship, trauma, privilege, and what makes us human. Cannot recommend it enough.
