Guardian long read on hoarding, pointing out the complexity of the condition and the need for multi-level, person-centred interventions

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/jul/04/you-cant-live-your-life-what-is-behind-extreme-hoarding

‘You reach a point where you can’t live your life’: what is behind extreme hoarding?

The long read: Hoarding can be distressing and dangerous. But it’s not just a matter of ‘too much stuff’ – it’s a complex condition that requires careful, targeted help

The Guardian

"#Russia's problems today are the same as they were in 1917...Scarcely anyone seems prepared to stand up voluntarily and defend the state...Today, Russia's government is every bit as brittle as it was in 1991 and 1917. #Putin can't really be certain that anyone much will help him stay in power."

Can Space Karen stop messing around with a community that has (by and large) richly blessed my life for the last 13 years, please.

This is hilarious. It appears that Twitter is DDOSing itself.

The Twitter home feed's been down for most of this morning. Even though nothing loads, the Twitter website never stops trying and trying.

In the first video, notice the error message that I'm being rate limited. Then notice the jiggling scrollbar on the right.

The second video shows why it's jiggling. Twitter is firing off about 10 requests a second to itself to try and fetch content that never arrives because Elon's latest genius innovation is to block people from being able to read Twitter without logging in.

This likely created some hellish conditions that the engineers never envisioned and so we get this comedy of errors resulting in the most epic of self-owns, the self-DDOS.

Unbelievable. It's amateur hour.

He’s really trying to kill the place isn’t he?

This is hilariously stupid. I mean, just painfully stupid. And, yes, it's real.
It appears Elon’s fucked it again. What a total melon.

In the last five days, I have delivered one ecumenical presentation, one workshop on abuse, a sermon, a youth group on Scripture and a workshop on pastoral care for young people.

I officially have nothing else to deliver and need to recharge those batteries.

Had a perfect illustration for a sermon point. Did a quick Google to check the details...turns out a 2022 literature review has questioned some of the claims.

Which is fine, and science doing its cool science thing, but a little frustrating for the flow of the sermon!
