Going to pop some on after the week I’ve had. A not inconsiderable amount of rage directed at one very specific machine in particular.
Do you ever forget how good Rage Against The Machine were and then you listen to them again and you're like, fuuuck

Today I am mainly channelling Tom Hardy as Ronnie Kray. It’s been that sort of week.

Watch this and suddenly your own problems won’t feel so heavy. The good news: people stepped up and raised about $246 k+ on GoFundMe to help this woman and her baby.
There really are good people out there.

I just mixed up my last bottle of formula milk, she’ll have milk from cartons from here. I’ve been mixing bottles every evening for nearly 13 months, and did the same for my son.
Roughly 3,500 bottles all told, between the two of them.
Now I’ll never do it again.

It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.

If he does run I really hope his campaign slogan is "Chaos with Ed Miliband".
Verdict of one Labour grandee I just bumped into: “Ed Miliband is the person most likely to be the most next Prime Minister”.

Turns out Pope Francis actually WAS catholic. Huh.
A photograph of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor with his arm around 17-year-old Virginia Roberts Giuffre was real, according to newly-released emails sent by Jeffrey Epstein, which undermine Andrew’s claim it may have been faked

The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

America now seems to have descended into some sort of extreme gerrymandering arms race.
A reminder that there is a lot of ongoing litigation around the drawing (and redrawing) of congressional maps. My firm is currently involved in more than a dozen cases in 10 states: AL, CA, GA, LA, MO, NC, NY, TX, VA and WI.

Wait, WE CAN TURN IT OFF?!
Are there literally Americans who think we have BBC TV and Radio on non-stop and are not allowed to turn it off? Seems like a really weird conspiracy theory to abide by.
