Holy crap, all it took was watching one, short video to show my girls how credit card imprinters worked for us to pay with a card in shops before chin-and-pin machines, and this has been my recommendations for the last week ...

@mikehall314, having been listening to your articles on Skeptics with a K, this felt ... timely ...

Hearing @[email protected] and @Marsh discuss “The Yellow Sign People” made me think of cultists in the Unspeakable Vault of Doom trying to abjure Lovecraftian nightmares.

Learned more than I wanted to know about “Piglans” and “Blazerot” and being skeptical of speed runs. Loving #skepticswithak.
Listening to #skepticswithak. I was impressed hearing about Emma’s 50 mile run for charity. Passing the link along: https://www.refugeewomenconnect.org.uk/fundraisers/runningreallyfarforrefugeewomen

The environment for refugees is more hostile than ever. The work of RWC is vital for ensuring that our community's most vulnerable members receive appropriate support as they seek to rebuild their lives.

#SkepticsWithAK #skeptics #MerseysideSkeptics #autism #burnout Unlikely to reach far enough here but on a recent episode of Skeptics With a K, Mike talked about autistic burnout. I think it was 13th October 2022 but I’m not sure. I don’t mind listening to loads of episodes again because it’s a fantastic podcast, but I wanted to recommend it to a friend so that might take too long! If anyone knows for sure which it was I’d be grateful. Thanks.

Sunday morning listen: #SWaK with @Marsh, @AliceEmmaLouise, and @mikehall314.
Highly recommend it!
