Is "extremist" adequately defined? Should be someone who causes disruption without adequate justification, but I can see 'adequate' being hard to define. Find it upsetting that in case of those concerned about climate, other available forms of cooperative engagement seemed somewhat lacking in past.

Nobody had the information to back up any claims. They voted on opinions. A month would have made no difference, as they were fed pure disinformation from the start, and many lacked to ability to identify that it had happened. They WANTED to believe it would benefit them.

But the last government we had was very heavy on a belief that opinions are are at least equal, if not more important than facts / knowledge. So we got to hear a lot of lies and untruths and were told to accept tgem. Also how mainstream media works. This problem is much bigger than the classroom.

If your area got a new Labour MP then it is your duty to email them and say that you are happy the Tories are out but that transphobia should have no place in the party. Make Starmer gently walk back his support for Rowling's position!

Physics Girl fundraiser for the Open Medicine Foundation. A day long livestream on Dianna Cowern's YouTube Physics Girl channel was held on Saturday 6th July. Dianna Cowern has very severe #LongCovid / ME/CFS & was seen lying in bed while her husband and experts held discussions.

Yeah, same thing: "A coup d'Γ©tat or simply a coup, is typically an illegal and overt attempt by a military organization or other government elites to unseat an incumbent" Well nearly, surely? You are so fussy πŸ™„.

ME/CFS definition (old CDC reference) is just severe tiredness. Still no reference to PEM or time shifting an unaffected activity to a serious unexpected impact. And new LC definitions seem paywalled, which is always difficult. Don't they want review / feedback?

Preprint from Prof. Jonathan Edwards addressing a critical issue affecting multiple young patients in the UK currently.

"there is an urgent need for a consensus amongst professionals that focuses on practice based on reliable evidence rather than theory-laden diagnosis."

This is very concerning as a more virulent and deadly strain of mpox has emerged in DRC- a country that lacks smallpox vaccines. This is yet another example of how zoonotic viruses infect us and mutate all of which is made more likely due to habitat loss.πŸ§ͺ🌍

ME/CFS β€œChronic Fatigue Syndrome” seems more like β€œChronic Incapability Syndrome” to me.

I’m constantly surprised at how incapable I am both mentally and physically when I’m suffering PEM.

Just ME?

The election betting scandal is a disgrace to democracy. That's why I'm joining 90,000 people calling for a minimum standard for MPs - so politicians have a job description and standards like the rest of us. Join me?✍️

Yep, opened mine today. Did you see the website that helps you to "vote with your heart" in safe seats, so as to send a message, if you aren't 100% happy with the most likely election winner?

This is quite fun, and just arrived in an email from Vorders.

It shows where voting is going to make a difference, but also where the outcome is so likely, you can feel free to vote with your heart and not merely defensively:

Yes, agree, compared to the multi-millions made by many through shorting the pound and betting against UK stocks when Truss and Kwasi were about to do their 'best'. They all knew what would happen, and funded their futures on the back of it rather than raise a finger to stop it happening.
