A smile worth a thousand words: Sky News: Trump is facing pretty difficult midterm elections. Do you think you are being treated as a scapegoat for his own problems? Zelenskyy [smiling]: “This is my answer.” Couldn't imagine a better answer. 👏

🧵The best response to the bogus decision by the IOC @Olympics to ban the helmet of @heraskevych and silence the memory of Ukrainian athletes murdered by russia, is to see their faces, learn their names and share it with the world! They want it gone, we’ll show it everywhere!🇺🇦

Replying to @AldiUK
@AldiUK V shocked at the behaviour of one of your drivers on A55 & onto the A494 at Buckley at 21:50. My adult daughter noticed his erratic driving , x2 onto hard shoulder solid line & tailgating in Lane 2 before emergency braking sufficient to give trailer tyre smoke.

Stunningly, as we drew alongside when he was back in lane 1, he was watching sport (she thought football) on his phone, propped up to the right of the steering wheel. She couldn’t get a photo, as we were only alongside twice, but this is his plate, which she did catch.

He was moving so fast through the A494 50mph zone traffic we couldn’t get near him again, before he turned off onto the A550. I hope it’s not a pattern of behaviour for this driver. Really concerned @NWPolice

Britain's broken energy system. Companies built windfarms where there's no grid and you pay them to not generate Soaring costs, locked in for years to come, & more on the way It's not good enough to sigh- something must change It's brutal for families and crippling for growth
Wind curtailment and gas turn-up costs in 2025 are up ~50% compared to this time last year

What’s happening? Nothing at the @GSElecHighway #MarkhamVale site. These photos are exactly one year apart, nothing has changed. Doubtless they will say (again) “no news”, but what is the explanation?

1/ A Russian medic who has deserted from the Russian army and is seeking asylum in France has given a vivid account of the grim conditions on the Russian front line in Ukraine, the brutality of the Russian commanders, and the threats faced by Russian troops. ⬇️

Indeed, the school meals were bland, and the loo roll was like greaseproof paper. But literally, none of us were worried about a homicidal gun nut bursting down the doors to our classroom. So there's that.

Fantastic to see this 👌🏼
Good news 👍 the change to not allowing petrol/diesel cars until 2035 has been reversed back to 2030 - only 5 years away !!!

The impact of “air pollution” on health is becoming rapidly apparent, thanks to the work of @CharlesSwanton & many others. There’s a need for a clear public message @AirFairy04 @CleanAirSheff @BTSrespiratory to address the attraction of wood burners across all sectors of society
Smoke from wood heaters is very bad for everyone’s #health in the UK, Australia, Canada, USA, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands and many other countries. Often this burning is merely for ambiance and cheaper alternatives are available. @JacintaAllanMP @Steve_Dimo #AirPollution

Wonderful service on the drive, once again, from the delightful Paul @Cleevely_Mobile. Super helpful, skilled and attentive. Please don’t use them, as I’d like to continue to have their prompt service whenever I might need it next…

War on your wood burner amid new calls to ban them. dailymail.co.uk/news/article… #Health #StopBurningStuff “In a separate submission, a working group from the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh said: ‘We cannot underestimate the major health harms from wood smoke. It is linked to 40 per cent of #lungcancer in non-smoking women.’”

The most important paper so far in my quest to explore #costalmargin rupture injuries. Serendipity (& a little planning) enabled the @Sheff_Thoracic team @SheffieldHosp to build e a world class case series. Through a process of stepwise evolution we now have a robust repair…
This paper demonstrates the evolution of surgical techniques for Costal Margin Rupture + Intercostal Hernia with use of The Sheffield Classification. Take home: multicentre collaboration needed to determine optimal surgical strategies @_johnedwards journals.lww.com/jtrauma/abs…

A great thread about the potential to rethink #highspeedrail in the UK
Does HS2 have a future? And why might that question hinge on an unseen government document and a sugar mill in Nottinghamshire?🧵

With new @TeslaCharging at @welcomebreak Woodhall South, it would be really helpful to @TeslaOwnersUK if the map separated V2 from V3. If the V2 are full, there is no way to move to the V3 against the one way system. It would be frustrating to arrive at the V2 to find them full!

The @CWISociety #CWISummit2024 was a tremendous success, thanks to the leadership of the Program Committee @sawhitbe & @dotu3535 . Here follows a series of separate X’s relating to the scientific presentations that I found of most value.

Rising star Max van Diepen presented work @CWISoceity #CWISummit2024 from the @erasmusmcintl #FixCon Randomised Controlled Trial lfor non #FlailChest. The study will be a goldmine for years of study to come. #NonUnitedRibFractures occurred in 43% patients & 12% #ribfractures.
