The St Machar was the pub I drank in during my PhD & the patron Saint of Aberdeen. Interests - beer, noise, techno, science, sci fi & other random oddities.

Prof Robert Langer speaking here was one of the Women’s Health Initiative study investigators - this study was misreported in both the medical press and media by a small group of the investigators (not him). These people had their own agenda but it is still unclear why they did this. This misreporting has lead to over two decades of unnecessary fear about HRT resulting in women needlessly suffering with both symptoms and health risks of not taking HRT. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…

gofundme.com/dalryfriends Legal update: I am currently waiting for the court to set a date for the proof hearing. Legal fees: Unfortunately, I am behind on legal fees. The exact amount is unclear as it is spread across several invoices, but it totals several thousand pounds. To maintain my mental health, I have avoided calculating the precise total. Donations: It is very difficult to to keep asking for more donations. I want to assure everyone that I am also contributing to this fight. I have donated my Adult Disability Allowance for this month to the GoFundMe campaign and will continue to do so monthly if possible. Thank you all for your continued support.

I think it's too late for most other outlets for this to work on but I really think we could help ourselves by blocking G.B news early and refusing to engage with it. No dunks no edits no shares no screenshots. They'll live off of our rage.

Watching the Scotland Brazil 1974 match, I notice that Brazil fielded two players called Paolo Cézar. It made me think - did Stevie Smith & Stevie Naismith ever play together? Or did the laws of physics not allow it?

Even our local farmers have gone into isolation, leaving their crops at risk. No need to panic, we're keeping your plants securely at the police station for safe keeping. Do make an appointment at Longsight to discuss ownership of the cannabis, obviously when it's safe to do so!

Delighted to learn that the German word for panic-buying is Hamsterkäufe: to shop like a nervous, bulging-cheeked hamster.
