This frontispiece in my book just made me laugh a lot. Is this Buddhist reincarnation, or some other form of afterlife?

Since Trump fired most of the National Park Service, the bears have to pick up the slack.

Happy new year everyone. You’re all great, in some way. Each one of you has a weirdness - a superpower if you want to see it that way - that no-one else has. There’s no perfect, archetypal human. A species is the sum of its parts. And yet, as just one human, you are: special.

Hypothetically, of course, if one does a good deed (eg, giving directions to a confused elderly man, say), does that deed retain the quality of ‘goodness’ even if it subsequently emerges that the directions given were inadvertently completely wrong by about 180 degrees or does the deed become bad?

If Time must name a 'Person Of The Year' they ought to show their working by ranking all of us on earth from one to eight billion. Like the world rankings in tennis or snooker. We'd all know where we stood.

Since the start of 2023, only 9% of balls bowled to a number 11 by England would have hit the stumps. I feel there’s a quick fix there.

I love watching snooker. It's the only sport where the crowd don't know how to react until the commentator tells them. Imagine in football if a goal went in and the crowd sit in silence until they hear a commentator say what a great effort it was.
