Whenever I donate old books to the charity store I always sign them with a sharpie a fake signature by the author. I've done some big names including Obama and Anthony Bourdain. I don't know why I do this but I hope the charity shop has been able to extract a bit more cash.

Shittification and shareholder return
A rehash of an old thread
Why is everything crap. Well, here we learn why Adam Smith was an early Marxist, in that though he had great faith in markets
He had zero faith in merchants
And the reason why, is why no one answers your helpline

High concept narrative comedies by women! 100 shows with writers rooms! Tell whatever celeb blokes are doing a travel show they can make their own way back from Bordeaux!

There are many companies offering dodgy blood testing (so they can sell you a ‘solution’). Testosterone is just one eg in a sea of fertility, menopause, ‘feeling tired’ nonsense. Yes it’s misinformation but also a slew of marketing that likely breaks ASA rules. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

So this reminds me of one of my favourite WTF moments in heritage bureaucracy, which was the 2018 archaeological excavations just outside the chapel of St Peter at the Tower of London. nobody could decide who, apart from the king, could legally sign off on the project
…so there isn’t some department that is empowered to deal with this stuff that can just override the inevitable objections, I guess? rough, if so

We've been down on the beach today picking up firework debris. It's odd, isn't it, that you can be fined £250 for dropping litter but somehow it's OK to launch rockets containing plastic casings into the sky.
