@YodelSupportUK THE WORST PARCEL SERVICE EVER. And yes, I am shouting. I have just given you one star on Trustpilot. If I could have given you none, I would have. Beyond incompetent.

What do you people think of Yodel? Be honest.

@CrazyVibes_1 @BrittPettibone BTW, the current mayor of Leeds, Abigail Marshall Katung, isn't a Muslim. And, for the record, the forthcoming mayor of Leeds for 2025 is a Jewish Conservative. So stop your lying nonsense!

Does anyone remember when the US government invaded Baghdad, killed half a million people, then 'awarded' Halliburton with $39.5 billion for the "reconstruction" of Iraq? In unrelated news, @BlackRock and @jpmorgan just launched a "reconstruction" bank for Ukraine.

Such sad news about Dr Michael Mosley ☹️ This recent clip was profound and yet so very simple, "What we buy and then consume has a massive impact on our health.. I managed to reverse my Type 2 Diabetes without medication, simply by losing some weight, and changing my diet" It is said that the best of people are those who add value to other people's lives. Over 4 million in the UK have diabetes, and over 415 million have it world wide I can't explain the science, but the simple message of eating well and the impact it can have on our health eg reversing diabetes, is a massive game changer Michael articulated this - and so many other things - in a friendly, easy to understand way We were in Greece last week and it was very hot. Twice after midday I soaked my hat in water, and on both occassions it dried up in just a few minutes. The heat there at this time of year can be relentless My condolences to his family and friends at this difficult time. Thank you for all that you have done Michael. May you rest in peace 🙏

Still fighting 💪

He sacrificed his life for the Palestinian plight in the most extreme way known to humankind. Don’t let his last words be forgotten. Rest in Power Aaron Bushnell.

That it has come to THIS! Shame, shame, shame on our complicit politicians! Bless you, #AaronBushnell #FreePalestine #CeasefireNOW

@BorisJohnson Off you pop, then, Lance Corporal Johnson. Let's be having you and your kids in action on the front line in Ukraine. Yeahhhh. Thought not. I'm very much aware of who the frauds and disgraces are now, thanks. Tell me, why DID you put a spanner in the works of the peace deal, huh?

Vladimir Putin your speech is a fraud and a disgrace. The world must never accept your sham referendums or your cruel and illegal attempt to colonise Ukraine. We stand with the people of Ukraine and will support them without flinching until their country is whole and free.

@getfussy Hi Fussy folks. I think Shopify is messing up your website's UX. I keep getting 504 Gateway timeout error when trying to log in. I've restarted my browser and everything. Still no joy. 😩

@SecBlinken What an insult this post is. Stop funding the IDF. Get your sorry ass out of that luxury room and go and help dig Palestinian civilians out of the rubble. Then we might actually believe you give a damn about respecting people's human rights.

I joined human rights leaders for the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights and in recognition of their courageous work. We know that when more people in more places have their rights respected, the world is more peaceful, more secure, more prosperous.

@elonmusk Killing people is a logical step towards achieving world peace? This does not sound like Elon first principles thinking. My Respect-o-meter just flatlined.

Trite as it may sound, I wish for world peace

Motaz is one of the most talented portrait photographers in Gaza. Instead he’s forced to film this. @azaizamotaz9

@getfussy Would I be right in thinking that you've redesigned all your cases so they stand up on their ends now? Or was it just that limited-edition pink one?

A hiking buddy of mine who had noticeably and suddenly stopped doing the more strenuous 14,000ft hikes a couple of years ago called me and made a confession: He got myocarditis from his second mRNA shot. Listening to him describing being alone on a trail run and suddenly having chest pains and trouble breathing was horrifying. He was afraid he was going to die alone. He's a marathoner and highly active, in his mid 30s. The worst part: He was afraid to tell me or anyone in his friend group. His literal quote: "I saw how Oz [his best friend] and especially his fiance [a med school graduate in residency who is super attached to the establishment covid narrative] were talking about the antivaxxers, and I felt like if I talked about it with any of them, I would have hurt Oz's relationship. I also felt like Kristen [a mutual friend of ours] would have judged me and stopped hanging out. I just kept it quiet. But yeah man, I'm still having a hard time with the 14ers, and my run times are all way down." This is a photo of him (on the left, not showing his face out of respect for his privacy) on our last hike where we were only at 10,000ft altitude, and at the time I had noticed he was struggling, but when we asked him about it, he said he was "hungover". He wasn't. It was about 10 month after the myocarditis, and he was hiding it from us. Self-censorship is perhaps the most horrifying aspect of this. None of us should find out years later that our friends had to be hospitalized. The fact that he felt he had to hide it is horrifying. He is an incredibly smart and driven guy, and he bluntly told me that he "knows, deep down, that if I said anything about this publicly, I'd be flushing my career down the toilet. I work in the software industry in Boulder. I know what will happen if I say something." When I told him that I believed him, and told him about my mother-in-law and my neighbor, he obviously felt a huge sense of relief. He was afraid that I was going to judge him for the crime of telling me about a medical side-effect. Ironically, his first job out of college was working for a pharma company, specifically on a new statin. His description of the science on statins, and the things they were and were not allowed to study on statins, was horrifying. His exact words, which echoed what I've heard @BretWeinstein say: "Working there, the entire culture is so messed up man. Like, the way they think is 'we're going to market this, now you go and make sure we can get it approved, and it was obvious that without studying anything, they already were making it clear that we WILL get it approved, and your job is to make sure you design the studies to make that happen.' Dude, they don't care about people at all. It's just numbers to them." What have we done? There needs to be a reckoning for the regulatory capture of the CDC/FDA, and the current administration's obviously political taint to the approval process. The current booster that the US is pushing on the age group 6 months and up is only approved for those over 65 in the UK and Europe. There is no scientific explanation for this discrepancy. There is something wrong. @DrJBhattacharya

I agree 👍
