This is the 1st game we were competitive within but lost. LCL are probably our main rivals for 'best of the rest' & were good. But we had chances we didn't convert & made silly errors. The positives: Tinka's confident pen & Ev's sublime FK. The reverse fixture is now must win.

In the spring of 1972, John Myers, then in his late twenties, started taking portraits of his neighbors in and around the town of Stourbridge, in England’s West Midlands.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Off to the universities remembrance service this morning. Will be thinking of my grandfather who saw action in North Africa, and Uncle Rab who was smuggled out of occupied Norway disguised as a woman.

In fact people living longer as a result of improved health care is once reason there are shortages of housing despite so many being built. Life expectancy at 60 increased massively since the 80s until today (mid-70s to 85yo).

This is right. If you are the stray nice/funny straight guy in book publishing the pickings are literally incredible. It’s like being a straight man at Vassar
the women in the workplace discourse is very funny because a man who can act normal in an office environment that's predominantly female is absolutely on easy street. it's maybe the best gig anyone in history has had. and yet for many guys it is utterly impossible

Finally I should point out that my only really strong conviction about Remembrance is that you shouldn’t wear a poppy before this Saturday. (I’m very old school about this).

Employment lawyer here: the number of male employers who genuinely believe they should be able to sleep with their female employees and pay working mothers less than working fathers is most of them. They genuinely believe that it is an injustice against them that they might face repercussions.
the question nobody with a soul is asking, answered by people nobody wants to hear from

it doesn’t get any clearer that america’s betrothal to fossil fuels is about letting energy companies pick our pockets to prop up their obsolete industry
Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Gents, would you be able to direct me to a ‘definitive’ list of Royal Navy ships in ‘home waters’ during the Battle of Britain?
Any guidance much appreciated. Mark

frankly why tf are we doing fireworks at all. It’s called Bonfire Night. get your ex’s photographs and your childhood Harry Potter books and light that shit up
I like fireworks but they shouldn't be sold to the general public. Obviously some twat's going to lob one at a paramedic. Garden fireworks are always shit anyway. Go and give the rotary club a fiver and watch a good display in a field with a candyfloss machine and a tombola.

Thank you, Charlottesville.
With over 80 volunteers since March, including 27 on Election Day, and 153 donations, I truly believe we built a people-powered campaign.
A thousand thank-yous would be insufficient, but I’ll keep saying it because I couldn’t have done it without you all.
