The ‘Assisted Dying Bill’ is on the front page of many newspapers, and at the top of most news websites today.
It may feel like it has got to this stage organically, but much of its success is due to an extremely strong marketing campaign from one organisation - Dignity in Dying - some in public, some less immediately visible, spending six figures on average each month to make it happen.
Whether you are for the Bill, or against it, it is worth knowing a little about how things like this work, and the influence of marketing on lawmaking in the UK today.
Here is a thread summarising just a few of the marketing tactics used to achieve this, from the outside looking in...

Whether you are for the Bill, or against it, it is worth knowing a little about how things like this work, and the influence of marketing on lawmaking in the UK today.
Here is a thread summarising just a few of the marketing tactics used to achieve this, from the outside looking in...
Firstly: What is 'Dignity in Dying'?
- Dignity in Dying is not a charity, it is a limited company. They do not aim to make a profit - instead they aim to use the money they make (some of which is large donations, some a few pounds each month) to change the law
- Dignity in Dying used to be called the Voluntary Euthanasia Society, and changed names a number of times over their history
- In the last available accounts they spent over £100,000 average every month on campaigning to achieve Assisted Dying legislation
- They also have a ‘sister charity’ (Compassion in Dying). Many of the team, and the marketing experts on their boards, work across both of these organisations.
- At the same time Keir Starmer was elected PM, they appointed a new Chair who had worked directly with him for several years
- They are also behind much of the polling you see telling you how much people are in favour of Assisted Dying, and if you email the All Party Parliamentary Group on 'Choice at the End of Life', you are actually emailing Dignity in Dying
Without Dignity in Dying's work, it is likely the issue would not even be in parliament.

As one illustration of just how influential Dignity in Dying is, here is the information on the All Party Parliamentary Group on 'Choice at the End of Life'.
You may have seen the MPs listed here (red circle 1) talking about Assisted Dying. But: You have possibly not seen them explaining that their group's secretary, its point for enquiries, and essentially its funder (through benefit in kind) is Dignity in Dying itself.

Vagus nerve stimulation is the best way to rewire your brain from anxiety, soothe the nervous system, and increase your stress tolerance.
Here’s everything you need to know about it: 🧵
Here’s everything you need to know about it: 🧵
The vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve connecting gut to the brain—branching into every major organ in between.
It organises the parasympathetic nervous system and plays a role in heart rate, immune response, digestion, and overall mood.

Chronic stress slowly strangles your vagus nerve function.
Think of your vagus nerve as your body's "calm switch."
But when stress becomes constant, this vital nerve loses its power to shift you from fight-or-flight into rest mode.
The result? Weakened vagal tone.

.@KPMemberService monstrously, putting through a grievance in the tiny Post-it note length messages to typically requires several messages.
File this post as an urgent grievance. And I demand you send to Gregory Adams.
KP avoids needing to deal with your grievance by a system that blocks/deletes more than 1 or 2.
Same with messaging provider about their massive negligence in claiming to have knowledge & scope of practice in fluoroquinolone injury while showing you w their ignorant denials that they have no clue as to the chemical pathology or anything else.
I’ve been demanding since Oct 7 2025 the Kaiser give me a practitioner with knowledge/scope of practice to evaluate, diagnose, and treat the FQ injury I have because your negligent cornea surgeon prescribed a fluoroquinolone antibiotic concurrently with a glucucorticoid to a patient over 60.
I had low electrolytes at the time. Sodium, potassium, chloride. Scientific literature and I think also the FDA says a patient should not be prescribed these drugs if they have these metrics. I also had tachycardia, dizziness & fainting that I showed her that she did nothing about that should’ve led to the stopping of these drugs.
Zero informed consent, zero disclosure of risk, & there were 3 other antibiotics that could’ve been prescribed that would not put me at risk of irreversible debilitation, nerve damage, loss of balance & all of the devastation I am experiencing across systems, all of which traces to the chemical pathology & timing & more of the fluoroquinolone antibiotic. (Bradford Hill 9)
I am denied care by practitioners with no scope of practice in FQ injury, inc . absolutely ignorant chief of service of ophthalmology Crenshaw who ignorantly claims I could not have gotten a systemic dose from the ocular & I must’ve done a superficial read of the research.
He/she shows thru that ignorance of research in his field. Research on eyedrop penetration shows 80% of what goes into nasal mucosa is systemic. Five weeks cumulatively QID no instruction to occlude so I squirted that stuff liberally into my eye. Plus glucocorticoid multiplies risk.
Research shows there is no threshold amount necessary for FQ harm. I have multisystems debilitation, all of which traces chemically and temporally to horrifically negligent prescription of FQ concurrently with a glucocorticoid in patient over 60.
My monstrously ignorant PCP has failed to give me a referral since Oct 2025 to a practitioner with scope of practice in FQ injury. Asked in writing Oct 7 2025 of Dr who harmed me & she did not give me approp referral. I do not have autoimmune disease and there is no sign of it no sign clinically or chemically. HS-CRP of 0.3 anyone? Insulin two out of 22. Sed rate very low. BP 99/62. Metabolically extraordinarily healthy.
I am now destroyed. I take 10,000 milligrams of magnesium a day orally for the tiny fraction of magnesium I have in my body. I put a tsp of Morton lite salt for potassium and more salt in every 60 ounce bottle of water I drink yet I am dehydrated w low electrolytes.
FQ injury leads to the chelation of magnesium—binding it & excreting unused. If my PCP had expertise he claims, he would know this. He does not. He denied me the IV magnesium I desperately needed to possibly save the dying muscle in my foot.
The FQ nerve damage & neuropathy caused me to have numb feet to point where a tack I’d stepped on barefoot four hours earlier I only noticed bc I turned my foot while I sat down on the couch. I did not feel it at all. I have BAXTER‘s neuropathy causing the muscle death from a compressed nerve. Alleviating the edema gave me a chance of saving my ability to stand. Your ignorant primary care doctor denied me this and denied me the alleviation of the horrific clinical symptoms of pounding heart clutching lungs and dizziness going along with thetachycardia and leaping and diving BPM I have all day.
Getting IV Mg after 6 hr wait in ER stopped the symptoms entirely 1/2

I am too sick to post a second part of this now. So I ended up actually rambling went out. That didn’t get to the point about the reason I had to go to the ER. Kaiser doesn’t have an opening in their infusion clinic until April 1. I have an emergency. I could lose my ability to stand in days. Kaiser‘s answer: tough titty. Shall I put you in for April 1? Only because I had a referral from my gynecologist was able to get anything in the emergency room at all. After a six hour wait.
And of course they must take the sicker patients first. I totally get it. I’m somebody who professionally tries to help everybody get healthcare that is evidence based and protective. I’m the patient who, when a nurse tells me the doctor will be late because they’re with another patient, tells the nurse that I don’t get miffy about that. I mean, I want to be seen on time or at least told how late the doctor will be, but I know that they are helping a patient who needs a little extra time and I am good with waiting for that.
PCP claims to have experience in fluoroquinolone injury—while showing himself to be utterly ignorant of the chemical pathology. I have strong evidence that he is practicing defensive medicine to cover for this. Denying me care because he is ignorant of the care and why it is necessary to protect himself from malpractice claims or negative ratings within Kaiser.
I have demanded of Kaiser since October 7 that I be given a practitioner w scope of practice and knowledge of fluoroquinolone injury to diagnose and treatment me.
I have not.
A provider like my primary care provider violates the law and medical ethics by treating outside their scope of medical expertise. They are bound by law to do one thing. Refer me to practitioner with expertise and scope of practice.
My PCP denied me the IV magnesium I desperately need (because the 10,000 mg daily that I’m taking of oral magnesium is not showing up in my system). Per lab test tests. This is a massive overdose dose and all it gives me is aggressive and terrible diarrhea all day.
I needed the IV magnesium to decrease edema that is contributing to the progressive death of muscle in my foot and risks my never being able to stand again normally. If more dies. And to stop me from having clutching lungs and dizziness and a pounding heart like an all day panic attack and spiking and diving BPM. And I have been tested up the wazoo and have no structural damage or cardiac dysfunction. No DVT. Stellar cardiometabolic health. This is from the fluoroquinolone driven neuropathy and dysautonomia.
So while my ignorant primary care doctor sits there illegitimately denying me the magnesium, getting IV magnesium was an emergency. I had to write to my hero of a fucking gynecologist, who unfortunately did not read the message because he was out for a few days. He knows I try not to ask him for anything unless I am desperate, and because of that, he told me the other day that I should ask him if I need anything. He has done more than any practitioner ever to protect in foster my health. I’m so lucky to have him.
But writing and explaining the science showing the stuff above and detailing the formerly controlled menopausal symptoms that FQ injury has amped up took me a day and probably more. I was sick all day that day so I only was able to start writing it at 10 PM. Took me from maybe nine or 10 to the wee hours. Harming my sleep.
When he was not answering the message with it, which I knew was because he was out, I made emergency calls to my terrif psychiatrist (for my ADHD meds). Sent him the PDF I wrote to my gynecologist with the explanation.
But he legitimately could not put IV mag order in because he did not know enough & needed to consult with renal. And was gone till Mon.
Totally legit. A doctor can’t prescribe out of ignorance. He is medically ethical & following law and medical prudence in saying he doesn’t know. My PCP shows bad character in putting his ego before my health.

Kaiser Permanente appears to be waiting me out. Waiting for me to run out of my savings to live on and end up on the street and die.
Since October 7, 2025, they have not provided me what they owe me by law, medical ethics, and kaiser’s printed protocol on its website: a practitioner with knowledge and expertise and scope of practice in the condition I have, fluoroquinolone injury, to evaluate, diagnose and treat me.
Instead, because Kaiser has de facto refused to give me a diagnosis by never referring me to any provider with scope of practice as I demanded in writing October 7, 2025.
Without this, they’re ignorant providers treating outside their scope of practice in violation the law and medical ethics can refuse me expensive care like MRIs that are absolutely called for in the research on Fluoroquinolone injury so patients can know where their tendons are destroyed or about to rupture and avoid or minimize movements to avoid that rupture. For example.
I have spent every day since October 4 when the fluoroquinolone antibiotic toxicity began its multisystem destruction of my body and brain doing nothing but fighting Kaiser to get the care I desperately need to possibly stop the debilitation and destruction throughout my body.
I was robustly healthy. Extraordinary cardiometabolic health. Extraordinary overall health through my disciplined exercise and keto and then carnivore diet.
This destruction to me only happened because their negligent cornea surgeon prescribed me this horrific fluoroquinolone antibiotic that was contraindicated from the start (per research findings) by my perniciously low electrolytes, my athleticism, and the fact that I am over 60 (“elderly” per medical standards) & concurrently prescribed a glucocorticoid (in a scientifically & medically unwarranted overdose amount) by this monstrously negligent doctor.
My every day is spent feeling sick in numerous ways (including tachycardia and pounding heart & clutching lungs and dizziness an erratic BPM) & being debilitated to the point where I cannot walk normally or balance to get to my kitchen w/o holding on to furniture &doorways.
I’m no longer a person or this creator of science-based advice that I was so proud of.
I am a ball of disabilities & destruction getting worse every day. And I know FQ science but I need help on areas I’m not expert. Like in understanding why the positive effects went away from the IV magnesium I got.
The temporary erasure of the bodily feeling I was being chased by wolves—like a panic attack that goes on endlessly. But without emotion behind it.
Last night, while getting IV magnesium I had to fight days for referral for & wait 6 hours for in ER bc of KP’s failure to provide adequate timely spaces in their infusion clinic, I couldn’t believe I felt normal. No all-day pounding heart, air hunger, tachycardia.
I think magnesium temporarily decreased the edema, so when I stood up & walked, I couldn’t really walk but I walked better. I balanced better.
All is gone just 10 hours later. And I’m terribly dehydrated again & I need a FQ-experienced practitioner to help me understand/deal with the effects but there is none. Just me fighting KP’s simply evil and love violating neglect of duty & standard of care.
I also desperately need a practitioner to add to my medical expertise/research knowledge to help me get the treatments I need to possibly come out of this instead of becoming increasingly debilitated to the point of life no longer being worth living.
I’ve demanded Kaiser send me out of network since they‘VW provided no such practitioner since Oct 7 2025. It is March 21, 2026.
I will run out of money & end up on the street. Living off my savings to pay rent, & I am now so sick, cognitively debilitated, & deeply fatigued that I barely get to 1 task as a former powerhouse of work.
I no longer exist except as a collection of Kaiser-caused disabilities.

Grounding has shown to decrease inflammation significantly.

Grounding connects your body to the Earth's natural charge.
In the past, humans stayed in contact with the Earth, but modern life-insulated shoes, high buildings, synthetic surfaces-has disconnected us.
This disconnection may be a cause of chronic inflammation.

How does grounding actually work?

These electrons act as antioxidants when absorbed through your skin, neutralising free radicals that cause inflammation.

The report compares the current climate change with two past events that caused abrupt climate shifts, the collapse of ocean currents, and a mass extinction event. The sole purpose of the report is to predict the social challenges, outline how to best prepare for the event, and suggest how the USA can anticipate and manage the worst-case scenario.
Even the chaos and wars in Europe were predicted almost too perfectly. The report stated that either Russia would join the EU or it would be attacked for its resources. What we see today is Russia attacking Ukraine for its resources because Europe wanted to integrate Ukraine. (3/7)🧵

Underrated fact: In nearly all economic settings, you cannot objectively know how much value anyone produces. It is unknowable.
The simple heuristics we use (e.g. value=marginal contribution) all fall apart under scrutiny. Why?

To start, an example from @rcbregman. In New York's garbage collector strike of 1968, the city essentially fell apart. Does this mean that the garbage collectors create all value in New York?
No.
If everyone else stopped working, there would also be no value produced.

🚩 1. Ticks can transmit Lyme & other diseases within minutes — the 24 hour dogma is A MYTH THAT must die!
The reason for this is that ticks can partially feed on other animals (including 🐕) right before they attach to you and therefore may already have Lyme (& other pathogens) in their mouths/ saliva. Read on….

I landed on the helipad of Seattle Children's last night for only the 2nd time, despite having transported 50+ children there. How is this possible? Unless the child is extremely critical, we're required to land over 1 mile away at an alternate pad-and finish by ambulance. 🧵
The reason? These entitled fucks in the Laurelhurst neighborhood. With their money and influence, they bullied the hospital and city into implementing this unnecessary and hazardous additional operation. "It's just a mile, what's the big deal?"

Two hours after a man with a shotgun fired shots at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, sixteen of the most prominent MAGA influencers on X all posted the same message.
The message was not "thank God the President is safe."
The message was "this is why we need the White House ballroom."

Sixteen separate accounts. Same talking point. Same window of time.
Some of you saw those posts and thought it was strange. It was strange. Now I am going to tell you why.
Two weeks ago, a former MAGA influencer named Ashley St. Clair sat down and told the public how the machine actually works.

I asked Claude which "safe" tech career path is actually a dead end by 2030, who will lose their leverage the fastest, and which roles are truly untouchable out of 6 core tracks:
- Frontend Development
- System Architecture
- Middle Management
- Data Engineering
- Cybersecurity
- AI Integration
And this is what Claude concluded. ↓

The algorithm does not care about your corporate loyalty. If your job is translating Jira tickets into boilerplate code, you are a temporary expense.
Here are 18 rules to stop being a replaceable cog, build actual leverage, and direct your own reality:
Here are 18 rules to stop being a replaceable cog, build actual leverage, and direct your own reality:
1. The Syntax Trap
Situation: You spend hundreds of hours memorizing the exact syntax of the newest JavaScript framework because you think it makes you an irreplaceable asset to your team. You assume the person writing the code holds the power.
System: Stop memorizing syntax entirely. Optimize for deep system architecture and logic flow. Let AI handle the keystrokes.
Why it works: AI models write perfect boilerplate and syntax instantly. What they struggle with is designing scalable, secure, and cost-effective architectures. If you move up the abstraction layer, you stop competing with free bots and start commanding the entire project.

🚨BREAKING: I found Cole Allen's archived tweets.
He predicted "Kamala wins all swing states," compared Trump's win to “Nazis getting elected,” and moved to Bluesky.
The scary part: he retweeted every mainstream Democrat on this platform.
Thread below. 👇
What radicalized him were the same talking points repeated every day on the left.

2. Leading up to the 2024 election, Cole Allen repeatedly shared @KamalaHarris and @MeidasTouch posts.
"BREAKING: Taylor Swift ENDORSES VP Kamala Harris"
"Trump's Project 2025 would eliminate the independence of the DOJ"

3. Cole Allen shared mainstream Democrat politician posts like @AOC, @JBPritzker, @SenWarren, and @SenWhitehouse.
"Trump is already breaking the law."
"Prepare... for a tsunami of plunder and corruption"

One thing ppl get wrong about history is that they think slaveowners got rich off of slave labor. Some did. But many got land, title & wealth BECAUSE THEY OWNED SLAVES. Thomas Jefferson enslaved 600 people on 10,000 acres. He inherited the ppl and the land. So how'd he get rich?
