On the fourth day of Christmas my true love gave to me: four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree. They're not calling anymore. Ate them.

Spot on! Neurodivergent people have been the canaries in the coal mine for decades. But things have become far worse in the last decade.
Neuro-conforming folks will also start to feel it too. Modern life is not good for the well-being of most humans at the moment.

Wes Streeting claims there are too many diagnoses of anxiety, autism, and ADHD. But when people are oppressed by neoliberalism, and others cannot comply with its demand for uniformity, he is really seeking to destroy evidence of dissent for his toxic worldview. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/12...

The health secretary, Wes Streeting, has ordered a clinical review of the diagnosis of mental health conditions, according to reports.

Trump is almost 80 and it’s ok that he keeps nodding off but perhaps not ok that he is the President of the USA and doing that. I seem to remember they taunted Biden with the term ‘sleepy Joe’ -are there no available younger people to be Presidents in the US? I liked Obama’s energy.

Streeting is talking bollox. He just wants to cut spending.
If I had been diagnosed with #adhd when young, I wouldn't have had poor health outcomes and crashed out of my career at 42. The NHS would be richer for it.

I think we should all feel sorry for Jonathan Gullis. He lost his seat at the last election and, given his hideous behaviour as an MP, couldn't get another job. So he needs a new bite at the cherry.
Of course I am joking. Fuck him.

An estimated £31bn per year is lost to the economy from people retiring before 66.
So what can be done - and are there any productivity lessons that might be equally applicable to the rest of us?

It's the lack of courage of the Labour government that's most disappointing.
Get on the front foot and defend tax rises, immigration etc. Stop following polls and focus groups.

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 58 now.
HIV treatment works.
Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex.
Ensure HIV treatment for all.
End HIV stigma.
