@andyburnham Every day, carers get people washed, dressed, fed, medicated, comforted, and treated with dignity. They notice the small changes that signal a person is declining. They sit with fear, grief, confusion, and loneliness. They do this in people’s homes, in care homes, and in hospitals, often with little time, little pay, and almost no public recognition. Most of that work will never be seen by anyone who does not need it. That does not make it less skilled or less vital. Low pay and low status send a clear message: this work does not matter as much as other work. That message is wrong. Caring is skilled labour. It requires patience, judgement, physical stamina, emotional strength, and the ability to treat another human being as fully human when they are at their most vulnerable. When we look down on carers, we look down on the people they look after as well. Making “carer” an official, respected job title would not be window dressing. It would be an honest description of the role. Professional recognition, decent pay, proper training, and career pathways would tell people that this work is worth building a life around. Pride follows from that. People do not feel proud of a job society treats as leftover work. We will all need care one day, or someone we love will. The system that provides it should not depend on quiet sacrifice and people working themselves into exhaustion. Paying carers properly and treating the work with the dignity it already has is not a luxury. It is how a society looks after its own. The work is already there. The people doing it are already there. What is missing is the respect that matches the reality of what they do.
I am determined to be the one to fix our social care system.

Huge day for Starship Flight 14. First time in orbit, 26 Starlink V3s deployed, booster splashdown nailed. The team has every reason to be proud—this one is checking the boxes. Fingers crossed for a clean finish. 🚀🚀 #Starship #Spacex

Starship launches at 13:48 hours UK time. Don’t miss it first orbital attempt.

It looks like Starship 14 launch has been delayed with a new time set to 13:45 hours UK time #Starship

My honest reply is that the hardware isn’t the barrier — the science is. Neuralink reads electrical signals from the motor cortex; nobody yet knows what a “depression signal” or an “ADHD signal” even looks like. You can’t deliver a drug that targets a pattern that they haven’t mapped.

Just wrapped the most incredible week working with the @neuralink engineering team and I’m still buzzing. Thank you to every engineer, researcher, and Neuralnaut pushing this forward. Restoring communication and independence at this pace isn’t just impressive. It’s beautiful. The future is arriving faster than most people realize. 🦾🧠🇬🇧

The night sky was never a ceiling. It was a promise. Every star you see is a world waiting to be walked on, a story waiting to be lived. We were born on one small rock, but we were never meant to stay there. @neuralink @SpaceXAI @boringcompany
This is the future we shall bring into being

It’s my nine-month post-operative checkup on Friday. The time has gone by ridiculously quickly, but it’s been so positive. Let’s keep it going. 🦾🧠@neuralink

I was told by few friends not to get it done because according to them it’s the mark of the beast.

@LeBrainJames023 Awesome bro, keep it up. Pioneering spirit in action. 🦾🧠
Neuralink patient @LeBrainJames023 controls an assistive robotic arm to lift up a drink on his own. The Neuralink implant in his brain detects the signals from his neurons and sends them via Bluetooth to control the arm. This is cutting-edge technology that is having a real, positive impact on dozens of patients.

261 days as a @Neuralink pioneer. Every single day, calibration improved. Every single day, Webgrid improved. Not in giant leaps. In small, stubborn, measurable steps. That is what I want others to hear. The implant opens the door. Consistency walks through it. The model gets better because you keep giving it cleaner intention. The scores move because yesterday’s personal best is never allowed to become the ceiling. You do not have to be first. You do not have to be loud. You just have to come back tomorrow and do it a little better than today. If you are early in this, or watching from the outside, or wondering whether the work is worth it: it is. 261 days in, still getting better. That is the climb. That is the message. P.18/GB.5
