The reason jaywalking is an offence in the US is because he early automakers lobbied politicians to make it so. We should be alert to the techbros agitating for it here to protect their investments in self driving vehicles.

Explaining the plot of Scooby-Doo to my daughter and realizing the central irony of the show is that the gang cruises around looking for magic and mysteries that never pan out, while the only truly supernatural element is the talking dog they all ignore.

Reform have totally let the cat out of the bag about who they are.

My world, my Earth is a ruin. A planet spoiled by the human species. We multiplied and fought and gobbled until there was nothing left, and then we died. We controlled neither appetite nor violence; we did not adapt. We destroyed ourselves. But we destroyed the world first.

I'm always baffled by parents who complain about having to explain stuff to their children. What did you think that role was going to entail exactly.

To give you an idea of how deranged the UK has become about gender stuff, here's Enid Blyton - the absolute avatar of classic English conservatism and a huge fan of racist "gollywogs" - casually describing a gender non-conforming kid in the 1940s and having their friends be totally cool with it.

"It does not bark and knows the secrets of the sea."
Then, as Jonn E says in that New World piece, “greeting card companies ... were flogging sentimental bits of tat by the start of the 19th century”, and the growth of the postal service gave the whole thing a boost. It wasn’t just sentiment, though. People in that era were fucking weird

In 2020, Jim Ratcliffe moved his fortune to Monaco, saving himself an estimated £4 billion in tax.
In the same year, immigrants in the UK contributed around £20 billion in tax.
