"In 2019, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that 18 superbugs—both drug-resistant fungi and bacteria—cause at least 2.8 million drug-resistant infections every year in the United States, resulting in more than 35,000 deaths (2). Of the 18 microbes, three are fungi: Candida auris, according to the CDC, is an “urgent threat,” drug-resistant Candida species are “serious threats,” and azole-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus is on the “watch list.”"

"The most important thing about this amazing Paris transformation is how fast it happened — how fast people on bikes “appeared” — once streets were transformed.

You can’t write this off as “Paris was always this way,” because it wasn’t.

It took leadership."

Quite like this #blackfriday

Jack White has a way with words. I just love him. He told Elon and Twitter goodbye in a way I’ve grown to expect from this creative genius.

It’s #FollowFriday so I hope folks utilize the hashtag to find my account here!
Give me a boost! Maybe if I can show some of the big accounts on Twitter that it’s possible to grow sizably and quickly here, too, they’ll migrate over!

A small reminder that baby Puffins are called Pufflings! This toot is intended to bring some extra joy to your timelines today. As you were. 😊 #Toot #Puffins #Boost #Birds

Me: Nana nana nana nana, nana nana nana nana, nana nana nana nana, nana nana nana nana BATMAN!
Nana: Ok, I saw him, don't go on about it

Twitter is losing users at an astonishing rate. This is why Musk suddenly wants to bring back every account that was ever suspended. Dump Musk for the Tusk!

There's no such thing as a 'self-made' millionaire.

The devolution of Twitter into a cesspool of toxic garbage reminds me of this comic I drew a few years ago.

📞"I am disgusted with what Elon Musk has done to Twitter!"

🎙️"I thought you'd be in your element, Colin!"

📞"But now when I post something offensive that I haven't thought through, it's just a load of people agreeing with me!"

Colin from Portsmouth begs Elon to leave Twitter

I have #ADHD and struggle with emails. Things have been easier since I created this autoreply. I thought I'd share for those who haven't seen it before!

The #IndyRef2 case this morning is fascinating in many ways.

It is not an appeal - it is a rare example of the UK Supreme Court (SC) acting as a court of first instance - which it can on certain devolution issues.

This means today's judgment, in turn, cannot be appealed.

I am full of admiration for the legally ingenious way in which Scottish government framed this case so as to get it before the SC.

I was also impressed by the advocacy of Scottish government's Lord Advocate Dorothy Bain KC

Until we address the issue of agricultural indiscriminate use of antibiotics in the foodchain and the expectation of cheap meat we cannot hope to tackle antibiotic resistance. 😞 https://www.theguardian.com/global/2022/nov/21/mcdonalds-and-walmart-beef-suppliers-put-public-health-at-risk-with-reckless-antibiotics-use?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Do you like #maps Even if you don't, the National Library of Scotland https://maps.nls.uk/index.html site is amazing! Try exploring the Georeferenced maps with the 'Spy' function. Best procrastination activity ever!
