Serious Q: is it too late to give this dude the Nobel Peace Prize? 🐸 🏆

In response to queries: I have no idea about current U.S. objectives with Venezuela. Is it stopping drugs, but leaving Maduro in power? Is it removing him for running a narco-state, threatening to annex Guyana, and repression? Is it a unity government?

It’s pronounced cyclist.

For those not fluent in Catholic: refusing the Monstrance is not denying prisoners the Eucharist, it is refusing Christ himself, since Christ is present in the Monstrance.

If Portland’s blow up animals are the right language for Portland, this is the right language for Chicago.

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

Definitely a lot of locums supporting GPs working short hours.

I didn’t find it great for babies / pregnancy and definitely not keen to go back dealing with “older people issues”.

Dealing with some serious health issues at present and really not keen to see a different doctor every time.

I left the uni clinic for polwarth because it was 2 mins from my front door and b/c the size of uni clinic had become impersonal/ no continuity.

#Ethiopia accuses #Eritrea of preparing for war as Red Sea tensions rise in a letter its Foreign Minister Gedion Timothewos sent to the UN chief Antonio Guterres.

Of course. But South Edinburgh needs more practices not fewer. Presumably they think larger practices more efficient.

Really upsetting to hear that Polwarth medical practice is closing via social media. I suppose it was inevitable after they mived to Tollcross. But crazy that they’d close a practice, given levels of demand. www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/edinbur...
