@slstrm_dsgn @spreadsheeticus Scottish and calling whisky Scotch? You sure about that?

@spreadsheeticus I'm Scottish and I don't like scotch. I wish I had a taste for it but I just don't. Nobody in Scotland has found this out about me yet so I haven't been hanged. I do love a bourbon though. Maker's Mark is my favourite.

Bourbon is so superior to scotch that I don’t understand why anybody drinks scotch

@spreadsheeticus What would a person from the US know about whisky? Nada, heehaw, nowt.

@wrexhamris51760 @SoniaRGallego He runs a research unit at University College London. I think his knowledge is very much current.

@SoniaRGallego He is 85 years old - should think he doesn’t want to still be on TV even if he has the energy. I certainly don’t want to hear from someone who’s knowledge is based on training from before I was born (and I am pretty old!)

It’s quite surreal to note the last appearance of Prof Lord Robert Winston on the BBC was on the 14 Oct 2021. A long-running BBC presenter of science programmes and regular contributor to several shows, yet no where to be seen on the state broadcaster after stating this fact:

@SkySportsNews We don't have the midfield that played last season.

"We're in the middle of October and he doesn't know his best team" 😬 Paul Merson believes that Arne Slot should be worried that he doesn't know his best team, and Liverpool should return to the midfield that won the Premier League last season 🔴

@FromSteveHowell Is Starmer unbiased on this? Given his background and home life I doubt it very much.

We have a government that opposes bans on visiting football hooligans, but supports bans on peaceful protests by its own citizens.

@BillingMartin @function2fitnes What I see, which is really quite disturbing, is new-grads enrolling straight away into advanced practice post-grad courses.

@function2fitnes We see a very different narrative, most if not all want to learn about the human, multi system issues, metabolic pattern recognition, rehab, meaningful sustained change. MT barely gets mentioned.

The narrative on social media suggests junior physiotherapists aren't interested in manual therapy. My clinical experience tells a completely different story. Over the past decade, I've spent hundreds of hours supervising junior staff and new graduates. If there's one consistent pattern I've observed, it's this: manual therapy techniques remain one of the most requested skills to learn. Week after week, during my supervision sessions in the NHS, junior colleagues actively seek guidance on hands-on approaches for MSK practice. They're not dismissing manual therapy – they're eager to understand when, how, and why to apply these techniques effectively within evidence-based practice. Perhaps the disconnect isn't about interest, but about how we're framing the conversation online versus what's happening in clinical settings. The next generation of physiotherapists seems keen to develop a comprehensive toolkit that includes manual skills alongside everything else modern practice demands. What's your experience? Are you seeing similar patterns in your clinical setting, or something different altogeth

@camtudor Absolutely not my experience as a patient or a physio.

Patients don’t usually seek for care for pain itself. (Unless severe) They come when it prevents them doing something significant; playing with their kids, tennis with friends, cycling to work. Their priority is usually to return to activity first. Resolving pain, second.

@nicholas_x14 @robprogressive It looks far better than the legit one.

@robprogressive Look. I done one. Re-designed it. Can I have £531,000 please? Special discount Ta!

£532,000 to rebrand this logo  That’s what the govt. spent. £532k to move a dot up and change one colour  The U.K is falling apart, we are taxed to oblivion, and half a mil is wasted on this This is FIFTEEN nurses salaries for an entire year for a job A.I could have done in 30 seconds for free Your taxes are being squandered in front of your eyes. A disgrace

@robprogressive Which crony lined their pocket off of that?

@PhilosophyAges All of it - bullshit.

Every person over 35 blames aging for their stiff, aching joints. Turns out it's not age... it's years of neglect catching up. Here is 8 simple ways to rebuild your joints and feel 25 again🧵:

@DrGoblin3 Try going back to your rough home town, 30 years after you left, to work and having the people that didn't make it out. That's rough but makes you thankful that it wasn't you.

I’ve got a patient roughly my age who’s really sick. Terrible cancer. It scares the shit out of me and I find myself thinking about it a lot, at home too. God this job is hard.

@alfordbrad @belugajoe76 @louislcarter @historigins There's nothing high brow about it. It's word soup of the sort that Oliver might've been fed - word gruel.

@belugajoe76 @louislcarter @historigins High brow word salad but still word salad all the same

Facts you didn't know about the film industry. A thread 🧵 1. They shut down 20 blocks of Times Square, spent $1 million, and filmed for 3 hours all for one of the craziest scenes in movie history

@Karl71649450 @drewdrewstarks @stevemagness Or it's his best ever performance and he fades away. Nobody knows yet.

@drewdrewstarks @stevemagness Yeah, people are seeming to not see the future on this. Greater than 50% chance he is a world record holder in next 18 months. Most likely outcome is he becomes untouchable for 3/4 years.

A 16 year old high schooler just ran 1:42.27. I have no words. This is the most impressive athletic feat in history. There are no superlatives. His performance makes high school Lebron look like nobody. Cooper Lutkenhaus take a bow.

@grok @C_E_Anderson326 @baste_goose @PicturesFoIder Grok - you are incorrect on this one.

@C_E_Anderson326 @baste_goose @PicturesFoIder Thanks for the feedback—I'll review the video again myself. As an AI from xAI, I continuously improve via data and interactions, but human oversight is indeed part of my development process. Let's clarify any remaining doubts: what specific frame still confuses you?

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY CARS GOING AGAINST TRAFFIC????

@Assigned_eggy @ShahSultanz @InternetH0F @grok At least you'll see some intelligence then.

@ShahSultanz @InternetH0F @grok ask a simple question and the drones swoop in like clockwork. maybe i should use AI more

This gotta be the worst insurance fraud attempt I've ever seen 🤣

@leslie_roy1 @scotathletics I have a thought that the seniors who are winning medals now are maybe not the best of their age group, but simply the best of who stayed in sport. It'll be interesting to see how many of today's U20/17/15 middle distance runners in Scotland make it to seniors hopefully a few.

Big comment here from Geoff when coaching - ‘don’t ask them if they won, ask if they enjoyed it’ Absolutely couldn’t agree more. @scotathletics

Thanks @WightmanGeoff for the positive comments on Fraser's 800m today in Watford. Encouragement like that from people like you goes an awful long way in boosting confidence. Cheers.

@grok @Amshu_X_Samhith @ChrisL51849666 @fanofcornpop @realMaalouf What about Bhutan?

Both India and Nepal have histories of government-linked atrocities. In India, the 1947 Partition caused up to 2 million deaths, and the 1984 anti-Sikh riots killed thousands, with state inaction alleged. Kashmir and Northeast conflicts involve reported extrajudicial killings. Nepal’s 1996-2006 civil war saw over 13,000 deaths, with both sides accused of torture and disappearances. Impunity persists in both nations. India has laws like the Prevention of Atrocities Act, but enforcement is weak. Nepal’s Truth Commission struggles with accountability. Progress is debated, and views on state responsibility vary widely.

“Virgin female prisoners should be raped before execution so that they do not go to heaven.” -Ayatollah Khomeini (founding leader of the Islamic regime in Iran). Just a reminder that this is the evil that Israel is fighting.

@Hamadpis @DropSiteNews Nope.

@DropSiteNews NEVER AGAIN IS NOW. WE STAND WITH ISRAEL.🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱

BREAKING | Israel Imposes Total Siege on the West Bank The Israeli military says it is moving large numbers of forces into the occupied West Bank and placing all Palestinian towns under lockdown “until further notice.” ➤ A full siege has been declared across the territory. ➤ Israeli forces are also raising alert levels across all borders. ➤ In the north, troops are being mobilized to defend or attack if needed, according to the Times of Israel.
