#OCDTalkHour topic - do people like walking? Does it calm you down or just give your thoughts more time to whirl around? For me it can be either. Mostly it's good but sometimes it's bad.

An amazing glimpse into Mesolithic everyday life: this more than 7,500-year-old ring was made from heather roots, carefully rolled up and prepared for later use. It was discovered at the settlement of Motala/Sweden, where the same material was used for fish traps. Dating 5750–5550 BC. 🧵1/2 📷me
A thick bundle of dried plant roots, tightly rolled into a ring and secured with fibrous ties, displayed on a dark grey museum plinth.

Dementia and Alzheimer's are absolutely devastating not only to the sufferer but for their friends and loves ones as well. Currently if it happens to your parent or partner you're effectively on your own navigating this terrible and often very expensive landscape of care.

The Tories promised that they'd fix it but did next to nothing even as they sought to all but bribe pensioners with the triple lock pension. Now we'll have the right demanding to know how it's all going to be funded... This needs solving and it would be so good if partisanship could be put aside.

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com
A figure stands in a barren landscape; reaches for the lever on a large, eccentric contraption covered in wires, pipes, dials and buttons; looks over towards two figures inside a bunker and says:

"'Trust me, it's safe' would sound a lot more reassuring if you weren't saying it from inside a concrete bunker."

I mean, I’m not being funny but it would be just my fucking luck if I followed “graduated in the middle of a recession” and “tried to get a mortgage the week of the 08 financial crisis” with “became a pensioner when they finally scrapped the triple lock”.

Honestly incredible the extent to which so many people have convinced themselves that opposing universal benefits is somehow a progressive position. One of the main ways the centre left has radicalised itself into austerity Osborneism, tbh.

New Horizons is now *three days away* from shutting off its two heliophysics instruments, simply because NASA has not provided the $2M in funding it had promised to the mission last year or this year. There is no science basis for shutting these off. Our earlier coverage:

Apropos of nothing. I was once involved in a case many moons ago where a helpful member of the public called the police on a group of men acting suspiciously. A couple of diligent police officers turned up, back up was called, arrests were made etc.

Just to fully underline how spiteful this shit is for those unaware: On the left is the route the Orange Order have been ordered to take for the past 3 decades without trouble. On the right is the route that has brought hundreds of cops to Drumcree. The only motivation is sectarian antagonism.

Image description: an accessibility-related infographic with a lined note paper background. There are five lines/points related to accessibility. From the top:

The first line contains a minimalist image of a manual wheelchair user with different shades of pink. Pink text to the right of them reads, ““It’s accessible once you get up the stairs” is not accessible.”

The second line contains a minimalist image of a manual wheelchair user with different shades of green. Green text to the right of them reads, ““It’s accessible if you have someone to help you” is not accessible.”

The third line contains a minimalist image of a manual wheelchair user with different shades of orange. Orange text to the right of them reads, ““It’s accessible if you can leave your mobility aid behind” is not accessible.”

The fourth line contains a minimalist image of a manual wheelchair user with different shades of blue. Blue text to the right of them reads, ““It’s accessible, but you can’t access the restroom” is not accessible.”

The fifth line contains a minimalist image of a manual wheelchair user with different shades of purple. Purple text to the right of them reads, ““It’s accessible just because we call it accessible” is not accessible.”

Centered at the bottom of the image is the handle “@MisaOnWheels” in light pink text.

Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.
It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to
Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate
from the people. He has no real ideas, and
no plan,
