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 @mikehall@mastodon.world 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

#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!
