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

I didn’t know they had any good movies on Rakuten TV, honestly thought it wasn’t allowed. This changes everything (I will now miss out on many more films than I missed out on before).

There's a woman on TikTok doing a social experiment. She's calling churches and telling them I'm a single mother in poverty, I ran out of formula and my baby hasn't eaten in 24 hrs, can you purchase me a container of formula (about $32 on the cheap end.)
She records their answers and posts them.

there's a story by Baudelaire about a decently virtuous guy who finds infinite joy in a moment of shithousery
conversely, Juan Carlos is, by all accounts, a monumental shithead who did the right thing just once in his life, yet will likely go down in history as a guy who stopped a fascist coup

I am not a lawyer, just a historian, but one fundamental problem with the political debate about the EU, especially in English publications is that the whole principle of the acquis communnitaire is not understood or taken seriously. The EU is a framework of rules, not an alliance.

Mamdani got a humanities degree.
His win helps to illustrate that one of the central forces driving higher ed’s dissolution of the humanities is the fear that teaching people how power works can also lead to their interest in seizing it on behalf of the less powerful.

I find it fascinating that even though the Beastie Boys were incredibly influential on a global level (at least half the countries in the world have their own Beastie Boys-like group) they had a remarkably limited influence on contemporary American musical culture
