The writer's use of the word 'never' is problematic, and rewording might better serve the paper (1983)

There's no way I can walk the distance to the beach, but the chair makes it possible to get there, where I can then take a few steps on the beach itself. So good to be able to get out.

Martin Paul Eve @eve.gd · 18h

Wheeled down to the seafront and then stood on the beach for a few minutes this morning. Gorgeous day, but cold.

My readers had a heads up about this ugly flu season as early as October, with regular reminders thereafter. Join us.

Caitlin Rivers @cmyeaton.bsky.social · Nov 16

I do think we're in for a big flu season, thanks to a new subclade (variant) of H3N2. Activity is currently low but that will change quickly. caitlinrivers.substack.com/p/outbreak-o...

Sam @samuelmoore.org uses the notion of "commonsiness" at one point, and I can't help but hear it as Gollum.

Martin Paul Eve @eve.gd · 1d

We have this frustration, too! Why can't they just normalise the sound, as you suggest?

Martin Paul Eve @eve.gd · 1d

I think it's more just a symbolic token that they are taking good care of the artefact and are putting a deposit of £800m on that

We are, at Christmas, very fortunate to have enough to eat. But I find it a difficult time. Nausea and general lack of appetite from kidney failure means that there's constant pressure on me to eat and boost my weight! But I just can't summon much desire to do so. No risk of overeating, at least.

Interesting observation on "markets" for totally unique, historically valuable, un-saleable assets.

Duncan Weldon @duncanweldon.bsky.social · 1d

Find this fascinating.
The Tapestry is literally priceless. There is no market. Why not £2 billion? Or £500 million?

The Lord of The Rings movies were rated PG-13. By current rules that means that each film could contain one use of the word "Fuck". Which line are you altering to insert the most useful swear word?
