Change is the currency of palliative care. In this reflection on my palliative care post I discuss the dark art of prognostication through the lens of the Big Thief song 'Change' tomronan.co.uk/2023/06/18/lik…

"His range and power are remarkable, switching from long drawn-out notes of belting falsetto to conversational Geordie brogue" @_Tom_Ronan catches the Tyneside bard @richarddawson12 at @CrookesSocial 🎸 nowthenmagazine.com/live-reviews/2…

"Looking back at it, you think of it as a pop album. But it's actually quite an experimental, weird little album" @_tom_ronan speaks with #Sheffield electronic outfit The All Seeing I about the rerelease of their classic 1999 album Pickled Eggs & Sherbet. nowthenmagazine.com/articles/the-a…

@BunnyTodd48111 Pharmaceutical companies used to send branded stationery and things like this clock to doctors in the hope it would influence them to prescribe their drugs more. This one hung around a room I used to work in. What migraine tablets have to do with sharks in suits, I have no idea.

@_tom_ronan I found this in a charity shop and it made me ask so many questions! Yours is the only one Google lense could find! Could you please enlighten me to it's origins? :)

"Any conflicts of interest to declare?" "Just a really cool shark clock" 🦈

Natural remission often gets mistaken for an intervention effect. How much of medicine functions through this simple cognitive bias? Exploring this idea off the back of reading Educated by Tara Westover. tomronan.co.uk/2024/03/14/bel…

Enjoyed hearing Iggy Pop and Tom Waits in conversation on @BBC6Music, even if I couldn't always tell their voices apart.

@RedHeadedWarrir The struggle is real. Looks like @huckleberrycare are on the case. Where am I supposed to store all this information in the meantime? In my brain? Those servers have been down for weeks.

I would wager that a single soft-close bin lid on a geriatric ward prevents more delirium than a kilogram of nitrofurantoin prescriptions for dubious UTIs. Anyone admitted to hospital without delirium will soon have it after a night trying to sleep on the average hospital ward.

An autumnal playlist for your delectation🍂 Featuring the likes of Sigur Rós, Nina Simone, American Football, Nick Drake, Arthur Russell, Sandy Denny and Ella Fitzgerald, to name but a few. open.spotify.com/playlist/2HsNm…

@AnnaNicLay Thank you Anna! That sounds dreamy - I saw them in Bristol and they were such a good live act. Hope all's well at the Mac unit - and yes by all means share ☺️

@max_fosh is that you? Posing as an estate agent in your latest jape?

@catbiteband Weirdest bit of the planned encore is them saying "ok it's our last song, thank you and goodnight", when everyone knows full well they have played encores the whole tour and still have a couple of big hits to do

what are your thoughts on bands doing encores?

@petefrasermusic This is incredibly cringe. I'm also enjoying that this came up as an ad on the thread - at least we now have an objective way of deciding what's True Rock And Roll Behaviour™️
