Some thoughts about gender. Be kind, it's sort of personal and very well meaning. iainjclarkart.com/2024/11/13/o...
Some competition shows have nail-biting announcements of the winner, whereas Forged In Fire generally comes down to "Your sword was great, while your sword snapped in two and nearly sliced my thumb off".

'Face of the Moon.' (1797) John Russell was the finest British pastel artist of his time. One of his sitters, the astronomer William Herschel encouraged him to buy a telescope, and with this he produced a number of remarkable pastel drawings of the moon.

I don't know if this is any more monstrous than the rest of the asylum changes but it *feels* cartoonishly evil, like fleecing a Holocaust victim.
The Sun has been told Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will on Monday propose confiscating jewellery, watches, necklaces from asylum seekers to meet asylum costs
This reflects the most controversial aspect of the Danish scheme - the Jewellery Law. The toughest Labour MPs thought this was OTT

In these busiest shopping weeks of the year, with everyone under horrible pressure over money, job security etc, try to be nice to retail staff (who likely have unreasonable sales targets from HQ to make up for a lousy retail year). Far too many stressed customers will behave appallingly right now.

Saw Season 2 of #TheDiplomat (no spoilers please) which continues to be sharp and surprising: makes you feel smart in that West Wing way while also having the breathless plotting of early Alias. Keri Russell and Alison Janney playing off each other this season are particularly *fireworks*.

Labour's MP for Folkestone says the government has taken "the wrong turning" on its plans for asylum seekers.
"The rhetoric around these reforms encourages the same culture of divisiveness that sees racism and abuse growing in our communities."
