Do we think our Health Secretary will be putting pressure on the American Government about this?

Just joshing, of course not. Wes is about what's good for Wes, and his pal Mandy told him that that was Palantir.
In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

Twilight layers, revealing

one of america’s most cherished folk singers wrote an entire song about what a cruel criminal piece of shit donald trump’s father was all the way back in 1954 and somehow this basically never comes up in any story about the trumps, they have literally *always* been this way
the whole fucking family from trump’s parents on down have been a goddamned blight on this country for at least seven decades

This video of lion dance as line dance is delightful (from Edmonton, of course). Happy (almost) Lunar New Year!

I don't know anything about broader situation, but the apparent implication here that Robin has issues working with women in general is v. far from my and others' experiences.
Truly sad to see his unique talent gone from the BBC.

Sometimes a human without a penis but with a complex relationship with a male relative produces something that isn't obviously Craft. This can be classified as Art once there's a clear understanding of the complexities of her relationship with the male relative...

As I understand it, Art is done by humans in possession of a penis. Anything creative done by a human not in possession of a penis is Craft. NB, occasionally a man will barge into the craft room and make something using the same techniques that the women are. However, his penis renders this Art.

I expect it was the female neanderthals home-making by decorating. In other words, a craft, which as any fule kno, IS NOT ART
The Original Old Masters 🦴🎨

Think the "Great Leap Forward" started with us?

Evidence from Cueva de Ardales shows Neanderthals were applying red ochre to cave walls 65,000 years ago—long before Homo sapiens arrived in Europe.

It turns out "art" isn't a Sapiens trademark

It's a hominin heritage.

Here's a #HigherEducation cigarette card showing the arms of @manchester.ac.uk - then the Victoria University, reflecting the short-lived federal university with Liverpool and Leeds.

nb the symbols of the three cities and the divided Tudor rose

This is a spin-off from #HigherEducationPostcard

I agree there should be a cap on immigrants. In this weather, they should put a coat and scarf on too.
