Careful, you're sounding like one of those 'woke progressives' Goodwin blamed

Single vaccine could protect against all coughs, colds and flus, researchers say A Stanford University team have tested their nasal spray vaccine in animals but still need to do human clinical trials.

This is so exciting/hopeful - if this goes on to work in human trials it would be a game changer for pandemic responses

Rev. Jesse Jackson, a civil rights icon, dies at 84 β€œOur father was a servant leader β€” not only to our family, but to the oppressed, the voiceless, and the overlooked around the world,” the Jackson family said in a statement Tuesday.

Rev. Jesse Jackson dedicated his life to expanding who gets to belong in American democracy.

From civil rights to economic justice, he challenged power and widened the path for Black Americans. May we honor his legacy not just with words, but by continuing the work. www.nbcnews.com/news/obituar...

I bought one following the same bluesky evangelists, and haven't regretted it

The ability to press print and have a document appear is revolutionary

Looks like you can also just install any pi image and then run a FR24 application on top of it?

This looks like fun, tempted to check it out one day

And then follow-ups every few days imploring you to respond

Hard to believe this works for anyone

Brilliant article, and lovely to hear about something that feels genuinely hopeful and positive

Sad this is necessary. But impressive solidarity between allies.

Surprised it's taken them so long to offer this, feels like something that could be hugely popular

He needs to do more than apologise

We need to make directors personally accountable for the horrors their AI systems enable, much like health and safety legislation

It might help focus minds a little

This is the darkest day. Bit by bit, it gets lighter from here. That’s what I keep telling myself as an England fan, anyway.

Both my girls have had wonderful experiences in girl guiding, and my wife volunteered for many years

Sad that this opportunity has been closed to trans girls because of a bunch of bigots

Wish we could just let trans people live their lives in peace and dignity

Vaccines are one of the most extraordinary human creations

Unbelievable that we're trying to systematically undermine this progress

I suspect that PCUK is likely to be far more closely connected to patient advocates, and to find it harder to take a wider perspective

The challenges are very real, as someone who has tried to manage these tensions within orgs

Very difficult to achieve a broader perspective, especially as we encourage in all sorts of ways (amongst both staff and volunteers/patient reps) single-minded determinism

As a tactic, misbranding something a mansion tax, and then pointing out that many of the properties affected are not mansions, is quite effective

It's just a tax on very expensive homes, which all properties worth Β£2m+ objectively are

The comment from the estate agent was great though, confident that those affected can afford it and clearly doesn't see it as a big issue

That might have been a good response, but that's not his argument

He's just denying and obfuscating

But to resolve the issue they've invited her back to have tea and cake

I feel a decent proportion of similar disputes could be resolved this way

I appreciate you won't feel this goes far enough, but manufacturers are now introducing adverts on their displays

Which is at least some punishment for their stupidity
