Life expectancy in England & Wales at the *very worst* point of the pandemic was still better than at its all-time *best-ever* level in Scotland...

People argue the UK has a weird attitude to gender but what if I told you our economy is sustained by Warhammer and OnlyFans?
Not only should the govt ban Twitter, it should ban all foreign owned and controlled social media. I'll see you all on OnlyFans!

unspeakably pathetic stuff from Trump here as he says he'd be honored to accept María Corina Machado's Nobel Prize if she wants to give it up to him

We don’t know who needs to hear this, but the flu is getting out of hand. And we needed to make a post about it. Here are our pretty direct thoughts, because sometimes our social media manager/infographic designer is tired & can’t think of a way to put it more gently. Please make good choices. (1/2)

Reading that apparently JD Vance doxxed the ICE agent by announcing the same agent was in an incident 6 months ago that was covered, making it easy to look him up. Now he's on blast.

FFS. We're heading into the bit where it gets worse. The next four hours have the potential to be very, very, VERY bad.

Evan Davis is a very good questioner.
Not quite Louis Theroux levels of faux-naïveté but plenty enough to let the interviewees tie their own noose.

Berkut (maidan riot police) gunned down a civilian on Maidan. Later Berkut was apologizing to the people of Ukraine on their knees and got disbanded. Don’t fucking compare yourself to Eastern Europe

Blue sky, sorry for this, but are any of you a city/regional transportation planner, or know someone who is a transportation planner?

My kid is writing a paper, and needs to ask some questions of a transportation planner, and her source fell through

PLEASE let me know ASAP

Subdivide commercial units to make it easier to open a small pub.
Half-Ladbrokes / half micro-pub.
I can't see any drawbacks.
Far better to use the tax system to create a new breed of smaller pubs and taprooms to breathe life into high streets, in shop buildings etc.
