Parkrun - just publish runners results regardless of gender, surely. Ends the argument. #RunNotARace

What I'd like to know is, how many entirely ordinary academics going about their business would feel comfortable with their work being critically dissected in public, and how many of them would agree that the consequence of a mediocre day at work should be death? #Arday

1000s of emergency service workers fighting blazes as our country is in drought. Doing 18hr shifts and risking their lives.
But spare a thought for Darren, 32 from Chiswick, who was mildly startled when a 5 second alarm went off whilst he was watching The One Show.

Costliest in terms of 'value' of type of neighbourhoods destroyed. Is that what makes a disaster costly? What about human life, loss of belongings of people who already own almost nothing, long term impact of trauma etc - what is the cost then?

In October 2022, the seven-year long Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) warned that the government must act urgently on a “national epidemic” of child sex abuse
It made core 20 recommendations, but only a handful have been implemented

As is traditional in Ireland during big storms, we all await a news story from a windswept reporter that has been tied to a lamppost in Salthill while some gobshite in the background flies a small dog like a kite as the waves smash over a poorly parked Ford Focus

I'm wondering at what point we need to start changing the message: "get yourself to hospital if you can" "it's better to carefully lift someone off the floor than wait hours for an ambulance" or - as Lucy Easthope says - "help isn't coming" buff.ly/49lZgxs

Our report is clear: it's time to prioritise play!
- Develop a national play strategy
- Embed Playful Principles in housing and development design guidance
- Provide safe, accessible places to play through housing, street, park and neighbourhood design

The Church and State must be separated. The @churchofengland is in no way fit to hold such undemocratic power.
And now @NadineDorries , Nicky Morgan and @HarrietHarman - three political figures with very different views tell me on @Channel4News that reform is needed, with calls for bishops to quit the Lords, overturning hundreds of years of history…

Feeling very privileged this evening to reflect on a day spent with such courageous, compassionate, hilarious people. How much I have to learn from them all.

Lucie was one of life's bright lights. Gentle, warm and a winning smile. When I was younger I remember admiring the ease with which she carried herself. She used her abundant talent to make the world a better place, and there are no words for how much she will be missed ❤️
It is with deep sadness that we announced the sudden passing of our Chief Executive, Dr Lucie Moore. Our heart goes out to Lucie’s family and friends at this tragic time.

Could this be the beginning of the end of the Chirch in choice of Lords? Or is that too naively hopeful?
We need a @@churchofengland that is fit for purpose
That requires all those who have abdicated their responsibilities as moral leaders to step aside
Civil servants who advised on strategy & colluded with cover ups also need to consider their positions

Mid Devon Council has been overcharging tenants due to an error in historical rent calculations. Would love to speak to any tenants involved.

On a related note, a Navajo word for a pet, łį́į́ʼ, originally described a dog. But when horses were reintroduced to North America (and became the favoured “pet” in Navajo culture) the word łį́į́ʼ shifted to refer to a horse. Dogs were then called łééchąąʼí, meaning “shit pet”

I do think there’s a very unhelpful conflation of discovery learning and play. Play is freely chosen by the child and serves specific developmental functions in humans; it also happens to be how young children make sense of some aspects the world.
And one more from @SabinahJanally - don't be afraid of the sound of your own voice.
I forgot maybe the biggest tip (applies to trainers & supervisors too). Try to be content with good-enoughness rather than perfection, because professional NHS training should be for co-operation towards a culture of care, not competition for personal achievement.
