I keep being asked what I make of the UFO thing in Congress yesterday, so here it is: I watched a few clips and saw some people who seemed to believe stuff saying extraordinary things without presenting extraordinary evidence. Therefore I have nothing more to say, other than: It would be great if true - it would take a bit of the pressure off our civilisation if we weren’t the only means within the Milky Way by which the Universe understands itself. Sadly, as of today, I still feel that pressure, so can we perhaps focus on not messing our world up rather than hoping that, to paraphrase Sagan, someone will float down to save us from ourselves.

@GillHanock @robbeckettcomic @BBCRadio2 Favourite of all time is Under Pressure, but Jungleland comes a close second.

@msasifsmith @robbeckettcomic @BBCRadio2 What song would you choose??

Just chatted with @robbeckettcomic for a feature in his @BBCRadio2 show. Tune in this Sunday to find out what my favourite song is. Any guesses… 1982, classic song with over 1 billion streams..?

@GillHanock @robbeckettcomic @BBCRadio2 Ooooh! Also a great one!!!

@msasifsmith @robbeckettcomic @BBCRadio2 Rosanna was their other big hit.

@GillHanock @robbeckettcomic @BBCRadio2 Nice! great tune. Can’t think of anything else by them, talented musicians but was Africa their only big hit?

@msasifsmith @robbeckettcomic @BBCRadio2 Yes!!

@GillHanock @robbeckettcomic @BBCRadio2 Toto?!

@msasifsmith @robbeckettcomic @BBCRadio2 That’s a great song but not the one! Clues… American band ( four letters) long introduction, steady drum beat. Very nostalgic song.

The Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade deprives women of their right to choose and now risks the broader right to privacy for everyone – the right to make the best decisions for your health or the right to marry the person you love.

The greatest thing I learned was the value of watching your own lessons back. Cringey, yes but also a HUGE confidence booster when you end a lesson thinking everything went wrong, then watch the recording and realise it was actually pretty great! 🥳 #tncohort #clinicalpractice

Lots of hard work and perseverance went into making our clay Roman oil lamps 🪔 #year3art #jsvyear3 #art #clay #bsn #jsv #Perseverance
