- I grew up in Dumfries & Galloway, highly reccommend it. Would be a great area to move to with a family. Rural and outdoor living but also under 90mins drive to Glasgow/ 2hours to Edinburgh
- Hola folks - are you CCT’ing? Do you fancy a varied job in Scotland’s best kept secret - Dumfries & Galloway? The department and facilities are excellent, the hills are nearby. Happy to answer questions and queries. And feel free to RT folks! apply.jobs.scot.nhs.uk/Job/JobDetai...
- Happy New Year! I think this year is going to be a good year
- Got a sandwich today from Britains iconic bakery chain: Greggs lady “did you ken there’s a Greggs Diet now?” Me “oh aye? Does it work?” Greggs lady “I’d have tae say No. Not if you’re wanting tae lose weight” #greggs #bakery #Diet #weightloss #healthyeating #newyear #resolution #scotland
- ‘Specialist of your choice’ is an odd criteria for hospital healthcare. People often don’t know which exactly which spcialist they need. A well run public system can triage anyone to the right place equitably Do you expect to pick your own pilot when you fly? (To be fair, @mcuban.bsky.social might)
- The UK is very different from Medicare. In Medicare you can mostly go to a specialist of your choice. Not in the UK This is how most UHC works. Will Americans be ok with this change to Medicare ? Referrals for specialist care - NHS share.google/X84C9oCy1rE1...
- Are you rich & don’t like paying taxes? Buy land!! Keir Starmer has decided to only charge inheritance tax to agricultural landowners on estates over £2.5million However if your only asset is a family home, you start paying inheritance tax at £325,000 What’s the point of this labour government?
- It comes to my attention that Americans don’t use the word ‘tortoise’ & call #tortoises (ie the slow moving guys who sleep all winter) #turtles (ie the ocean dwelling dudes) and sometimes call them ‘land turtles’ 🐢 All tortoises are turtles. But not all turtles are tortoises. Tortoises are real
- Also worth saying: the plural of octopus is ‘octopodes’ not ‘octopuses’ 🐙🐙
- Remember to get your winter vaccine folks - it’s literally a potion that gives you more hit points.
- In the long term a world with good, caring, benevolent AI will generate domesticated people and a comfortable stagnant era without innovation A world with antagonistic AI will generate inequality and injustice and strife and response and progress to the next thing beyond AI
- Do other men have this problem? Sometimes I wear a suit that I think looks decent, and then realise I look like a mafia boss from the 1930s #fashionformen #strongmidsection #mob
- Costco has nicely laid out produce & most folks go knowing what food they need for the week Health insurance is a deliberately confusing marketplace, and most people can’t be reasonably expected to know what they need Universal healthcare is the answer to this in every other wealthy country
- $1Trillion is enough wealth for a million people to each become a millionaire It’s enough for 10million people to buy a small apartment and live in it It’s enough for 20million people to get a university education Nobody benefits from this much concentration of wealth Malignant capitalism
