"What is certain, and felt instinctively by almost everybody, is that things cannot go on in their present way" – The Times, May 1975

“It is difficult to imagine a previous period when such an all-pervasive hopelessness was exhibited at all levels of British life” – Professor Stephen Haseler, 1975

Meanwhile, here's an example of the horrendous things found in Hillary Clinton's emails—the only story worth covering for any serious news outlet in 2016, apparently.

This email is also regarding a child who suffered abuse from a grown man.
From: Sent: To: Subject: H <hrod17@clintonemail.com> Friday, August 28, 2009 4:39 PM verveerms@state.gov' Noori Ali Do you recall Noori Ali(?), the ten year. old Yemeni girl who got herself divorced? I met her at the Glamour awards last year. There was a CNN story last few days about how unhappy she is, still living at home, not attending school and quite angry that her life is not better. Is there any way we can help her? Could we get her to the US for counselling and education?

One of my earliest moments of radicalization was in 2005 when Larry Summers said that women biologically have less aptitude for science than men. Following that, scores of equally unimpressive people wrote pieces trying to explain or justify his remarks, when they should have called for his removal.

The first album that I ever bought was
𝙃𝙖𝙧𝙫𝙚𝙨𝙩 - Neil Young🍁

I wish Neil all the best on
His 80th birthday ~Nov. 12th

Neil Young is a Canadian🇨🇦 musical icon that I started listening to as a teenager.

I still listen to him today.
So many great songs!

I spent last week reading and re reading and diving deep into the worlds Patti Smith recreated for her new memoir, Breqd of Angels: www.salon.com/2025/11/11/p...
Patti Smith opens the final door of her life story
In "Bread of Angels," Smith reflects tenderly on her life with her late husband, transforming grief into art.

No one has asked for this cut. Not librarians, not Alderpeople, not the library’s union, and certainly not the residents who rely on Chicago’s 81 branches every day.

Government has published one of those quiet but important documents that might get overlooked as it is not 'newsy'. The headline finding is that £1 of public R&D investment generates £8 in net economic benefits for the UK over the long term

The first mention of the term "electric Nebraska" that I could find was in Backstreets #11, Fall 1984. In an interview Charles Cross did with Max Weinberg, this discussion took place: buff.ly/8wlaX2U #springsteen

This is such a clever idea on taking kids to museums/galleries
www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
Nadia from London has an idea that sounds such fun you'll be booking a day out asap. "I've always loved museums," she says, "but they can be overwhelming for children. For decades now, I've done something called 'playing postcards' We do the museum backwards, visiting the gift shop first. Each child gets to choose three postcards. Then they take it in turns to find that particular artwork in the museum and give us a little information about the piece from the details on the postcard, or from any gallery plaque. At the end of this treasure-hunt-style activity, we vote for our favourite in the cafe."

And yes I have a particular outfit that I often reach for that I think of as “Diane Keaton taking the Jitney to the Hamptons” and I suspect many women my age are the same.

This one is hard. Loved her work and her style and the fact that she was a gorgeous, intelligent, older woman who did not GAF. Travel on well Diane Keaton.
