@maleficent2222 I hear you,but also,the Cerundolo team need to keep focussed on their guy and boost him with confidence and encouragement despite sinners loss of ability to perform at the highest. Every moment needs to be seized at this grand slam level, but I understand its hard with low health

History repeats itself, yet nobody seems to learn

Did you know that in 2023, Netflix released a miniseries, The Endless Night, about a tragedy in Brazil in 2013 where 242 people lost their lives?

Its events mirror exactly what happened in Crans-Montana

Chilling to watch it now

If no one else is going to say it, I will.

This rivalry is so overrated beyond belief and i’m not even talking about Alcaraz dominating the head-to-head.

The Roland Garros final for the most part was trash. It was only entertaining because of Alcaraz’s comeback. In the entirety of the 5 and a half hours there there was only a 20 minute period where both men played well at the same time.

Wimbledon was even worse, Alcaraz non-existent the whole match and Sinner solid at very best. Boring and one-sided.

This has been just as bad. Alcaraz peaked to start but after the first set when he’s been decent he’s been winning, when he’s been trash Sinner has been let in. Sinner just there at a subpar level throughout.

So overrated and boring beyond belief.

Amanda Anisimova could have let Wimbledon define her.

She once took time away from tennis to focus on her mental health. That didn't make her immune to pressure; nobody is. But that made her so resilient.

To create another chance so fast? I'm blown away.

[Scott Barclay @BarclayCard18]

We're all wondering where the next player that can consistently challenge the big 2 of Alcaraz and Sinner is but the reality it, we need more than that. We need the Murray of this gen. The Del Potro. The Wawrinka. The Thiem. The players that PROVE they can be major champs and yes, lose more often than they win against Alcaraz and Sinner, but you watch knowing for a fact that there's always a chance they could upset the odds because they've actually done it before!

THAT'S what's missing. Give me the hope and I'll feel the excitement.

Terminal agitation - A palliative care thread 🧵

This is not a thread on delirium near end of life.
Although severe delirium can lead to agitation, almost all delirium in the last days of life can be managed with non-pharmacological support or small doses of medicine

Happy International Nurses Day.

In celebration of #InternationalNursesDay2025 we would like to thank all our nurses and student nurses who demonstrate the core values of compassion, care and commitment every day.

[The Good Grief Trust @goodgrieftrust]

On #InternationalNursesDay 💙

I walked beside a hero
And he spoke about his day
He spoke with such humility
Of all the lives he'd changed

I sat beside a hero
Who'd been working for so long
She smiled a tired smile and then
Got up and carried on

I lived beside a hero
And she'd tuck me into bed
Then go out saving other people's children
As I slept

I lay beside a hero
And they helped me through my pain
They helped me til I had the strength
To get back up again

These heroes walk among us
And they're mostly undercover
Carrying the weight of pain
They've shouldered for another

It's someone on the school run
And it's someone in the store
Someone on the train that you've seen
Countless times before

And if you ever found yourself
In hospital, in pain
You might come face to face then
With that stranger from the train

And only then you'd realise
What a difference they make
'Cause you'd sit beside a nurse and see
Not all heroes wear capes

It’s International Nurses Day today. There are so many heroic professions, but I was raised by a nurse, and so I wanted to honour today 🩵
