...a #torc in a box from the Somerset hoard from County #Galway, #Ireland, of course!! 😊

"The torc is now bent into a double-coiled spiral: it is stated to have been found in this condition within a box"

It would be bad enough if the only way social media has used their algorithms was for ads. Facebook was caught performing psychological experiments on users in an attempt to manipulate their emotional states.

Wish I knew who the photographer is.

My son has been asking a lot of questions this Christmas season, and I'm worried it might be the last year he believes that Bitcoin is real.

If I hear one more person wittering on about "efficiency savings" in the #NHS I'm going to scream. The NHS has been pared to the bone in the name of efficiency savings and it does not work because you can't predict exactly when or how people are going to need the service.

I don't want the NHS to be efficient. I want it to have the capacity to deal with whatever gets thrown at it. I WANT there to be empty beds, because that means there's nobody waiting for a bed. I WANT Doctors to spend a certain amount of their day twiddling their thumbs, because that means people aren't stuck waiting in pain and desperation.

Am i weird?
