@OriginStorycast *Also also, popularising sounds like Iโm damning with faint praise, but the earlier inventors tended to be ostracised. Presenting the medical establishment with an unfamiliar treatment in a format was extremely difficult, so he still deserves enormous credit.
@OriginStorycast Hey. Your anti-vax*** episode was great, but you missed something. Jenner was not the first person to use Cowpox vaccines, Benjamin Jesty and Jacob Bost predated his work by several decades. Jenner was a pioneer for popularising it but not for inventing it.
@hellobuglers Just listened to your thoughtful discussion of the (undeniable) merits of a made-up US President. I think you neglected the risk of setting a risky precedent, what might happen if the people were to one day elect the wrong made-up candidate?
Twitter just needs one or two people to subscribe at the new $3.1 billion per year membership 'Interested Subscriber' tier and for it to comfortably wither away like a real social network rather than causing an immediate diplomatic incident with Mohammed bin Salman.
Jason Statham should play Eben Upton in a dramatisation of the Raspberry Pi shortage. Eb Uptios falls out of a helicopter to discover the controller for his artificial heart has been replaced by a Pi, but it's only a 1B and the stroke volume is too low to work his wanking arm.
Anyone want to help pitch Holmes Under the Hammer, a dark mystery thriller where the famous detective is beaten to death by the State Research Bureau after investing the 1971 coup d'etat against Milton Obote?
@LoreleiMathias Thanks, I shall. Also apologies for the barely coherent initial tweet, I was mid-lesson but couldn't resist the urge to waffle at you. I do think that the current climate is ideal for a 'new' (old benzodiazepines in a shiny red capsule) drug to treat anxiety about lack of meds.
@LoreleiMathias I was pointed to your appearance on Jeremy Vine's show earlier. Thank you for presenting the issue so clearly. I'm at the stage of poking at odd bits of Elvanse powder on my desk, which reminds me of my 20s, so what you had to say really resonated.
