Looking at this and it shows Hannan's complete ignorance of a coinage that ceased to be in general use a year before he was born in ... Peru... and 7 years before he came to the UK.
Most of those coins ceased
production in 1966/67 so SIXTY years ago.... although collectors versions were made 1970

Giving up social media for lent. It is, in our society, the equivalent of isolating yourself in the desert.

It's still a shock to find a new PFAS forever chemical hotspot, even when it's inevitable. A bit of digging around paper mills, which often use PFAS, revealed the banned carcinogen PFOS at levels as high as 3,000ng/l in groundwater in south Cumbria

Vastly more women than men. Just as true crime in general is consumed by more women than men (75-80%).

The rich can always get sex. But they can't always get total domination, violence, control, and they can't always get people to shut up about it afterwards. This is the service Epstein offered.

I've listened to Juliette Bryant. She is completely traumatised by what she went through. She also has lots of unanswered questions. About, for instance, waking up in a lab on Epstein's Zorro ranch in the middle of a procedure - about which she has no idea.
How many women, girls and babies have trump and Epstein killed???

If you read this thread about the anti-democracy shenanigans in Georgia, you may, like me, get a prickling, uncomfortable feeling.
A lot of it feels AWFULLY familiar.

Liquidating entire faculties, universities, and even targeting neighbourhood supermarkets and pharmacies (this is on a rhetoric level now, but the speed is fast) is not just a political crisis; it is a systematic dismantling of the Georgian social and economic fabric. 2/

My world, my Earth is a ruin. A planet spoiled by the human species. We multiplied and fought and gobbled until there was nothing left, and then we died. We controlled neither appetite nor violence; we did not adapt. We destroyed ourselves. But we destroyed the world first.

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.
