Timeless wisdom from Warren Buffett.

The @WarrenBuffettHQ account was already suspended in 2019 and remains suspended. Warren Buffett's account is @WarrenBuffett but he has not posted since 2016. The AAP fact checking website states that this quote is falsely attributed to Warren Buffett. aap.com.au/factcheck/emot…

I laughed at my dad asking my mum how old he was but now I'm in my 40s with two kids of my own I totally get it.

#itvdebate should be cutting the mic at 45s rather than letting them shout over @julie_etch

#ITVdebate the mental health of the whole nation is in the toilet. What are each of the leaders going to do about that?

Monitored non-compliant as an FY1. Asked by a consultant to discuss this, and without warning was ushered into a room with all the other consultants and interrogated. Ended up being told that paying me properly would mean they couldn’t afford an extra dialysis machine

“Because they were squirrels; real squirrels. And there were thousands. This isn't some kind of metaphor, Goddamn, this is real” RIP @electricalWSOP - far too soon. Thanks for the music you made yourself and the music of others you made beautiful

It is so easy in the NHS to feel hopeless, helpless, impotent, small. You are not. No-one can take away your voice without your consent. Use it. Speak up. Speak out. Together we can make waves, force change, demand better from NHS leaders who talk kindness & deliver cruelty.

The curtailment on @NHSPracHealth access is tragic, shortsighted, and must be a massive slap in the face to @ClareGerada and colleagues who have built this amazing service. Please take a second to sign this open letter to oppose this.

We should be concerned by the new stigma, the public perception that mental health is an excuse, a card people play. But we should also ask whether our previous anti-stigma messaging has contributed, however inadvertently, and how that can change. Short 🧵
