After Scotland’s 1-0 World Cup opening win over Haiti, a fan dropped their phone while trying to film the players leaving the pitch 📱
John McGinn spotted it, picked it up, and took a selfie
What a moment ❤️👏

No one wants to harm Parkrun @parkrunUK it is a fabulous event. I’m spent my life trying to get people more active. That will carry on. My point is a simply one of fairness & equality. 28 women’s records are held by men, over 200 1st places in the women’s category have gone to men. More every weekend. It’s demoralising for those women wanting those places & records. This only goes one way. Women just want their own course records & places based on the reality of biological sex, which matters in physical activity. There are ways that extra categories can be added. So records & places remain, which is what the vast majority want to happen, which proves there is a competitive element to Parkrun as it stands. Hence a 30k petition to bring them back. Everyone runs together dresses as makes them happy. Non of that changes but simply enable a fair female category for females please?

Today it's over 15% and climbing.

The idea that people are being prescribed prescription drugs in response to grief is offensive to me.
First... there is no such thing as an antidepressant or anti-grief. It's a marketing scam.
Most importantly... You need to feel that pain.
To experience loss is human.

We will struggle to solve the issue of young people who are not in education, employment or training until we find the courage to overhaul our entire education system including the narrowness of its pedagogy, its assessment system & the misguided nature of its inspection system.

What do Harvard, Oxford, Stanford, Univ of Edinburgh, Mayo Clinic, Ohio State, James Cook, UCSF, and UCSD share in common?

They are all conducting trials of ketogenic diets for mental illness.

The results could change the field of psychiatry.

Goodbye Michael Keating. The Vila of all our hearts. He was in the first thing I ever wrote, playing a mutant pig who thought he was Hercule Poirot. In quiet patches he did the odd ushering shift at ENO. I never saw tickets torn with such panache.

[verypete lambert @Prof_Quiteamess]

RIP #MichaelKeating 'the funny one' and my instant favourite in Blake's 7 when I was a kid. Rewatching as an adult you see his ingenious performance bringing an edge of reality to things, his cleverness, and often being the conscience of the gang.

[Scarred for Life @ScarredForLife2]

RIP the great Micheal Keating. The heart and soul of Blake's 7, he played cowardly con-man Vila Restal (my favourite character) with a beautifully world-weary charm, and perfect comic timing. He and Paul Darrow's Avon made one of the all-time great double acts.

Sequel. @netflix we are looking at you. You don’t realize how much this movie deserves a part 2. Get the gang back together and you’ll have a cult classic in your filmography. Seriously

The modern world is obsessed with eliminating the need for human skill.

Autopilot for driving.
AI for writing.
Algorithms for dating.
GPS for navigation.
Predictive text for thinking.

Every year another part of your brain gets outsourced to a subscription service.

And people celebrate this like it’s liberation.

But there’s something deeply dangerous about becoming incapable of doing basic human things without machine assistance.

A pianist still understands music even if the piano disappears.

I’m not convinced the average person under 25 could survive a dead phone battery without entering a medically observable state of panic.

The frightening part isn’t that the machines are becoming intelligent.

It’s that humans are becoming passive.

As a civilization, we used to admire competence.

Now we only admire convenience.

Luxembourg is the world’s first nation to offer free public transport for all, tackling traffic and climate change in one bold move.

Luxembourg has pioneered a bold new era in urban mobility by becoming the first nation on Earth to eliminate fares across its entire public transport network. This groundbreaking policy covers every bus, tram, and train route nationwide, offering free rides to residents, cross-border commuters, and visitors alike.

Financed through general taxation rather than ticket sales, the initiative was designed to tackle the country's severe traffic congestion—once among the worst in Europe per capita—and to sharply cut carbon emissions from road transport. By removing the cost and hassle of tickets, Luxembourg effectively turned public transit into a basic public service, as essential and accessible as clean water or electricity.

The impact has been profound and measurable. Ridership surged as people left their cars behind, leading to noticeably less road traffic, shorter commute times, and a meaningful drop in urban air pollution. While first-class rail options remain a paid upgrade for those wanting extra comfort, the standard second-class system is now truly seamless: hop on, hop off, no barriers.

Luxembourg's experiment has demonstrated that removing financial obstacles can drive a genuine shift toward sustainable travel habits. It has also served as an inspiring model for other countries and cities grappling with sprawl, gridlock, and climate goals. In an age when radical solutions are needed to address the mobility-climate crisis, Luxembourg proves that treating public transport as a universal right is not only feasible—it can be genuinely transformative.

[Dr. Josef @DrJosefWD]

Grateful to sit down with @LilaGraceRos and talk about what I wish more people knew about psychiatric medications.

The "chemical imbalance" story isn't true. Antidepressants were never studied beyond about a year, yet people take them for decades. And the human brain isn't designed to be in a drugged state indefinitely.

Real mental health is body, mind, and spirit, your physical health, your relationships, and your sense of meaning and purpose. If you're struggling, your emotions mean something. Don't let a 15-minute appointment convince you they're just a symptom to suppress.
