It's hard to grasp just how difficult life for them is, when we hear aid, that costs money, and ceasefire, that kills so many every day, rent, for bare bones, often bombed, buildings, we don't grasp how much desperate need there is really, everything helps. Every action saves.

For 2026, would like to see genAI masquerading as "local and handmade" get the boot from craft/art fairs and anywhere working makers earn their living, and for progressive movements to stop using it - you didn't need it before, and 100% don't need it now. Walk the walk as well as talking the talk.

A person who skeets about this bot is found dead after drinking wine laced with slug pellets. Suspicion falls on High Littleton’s feminist vicar who runs life art classes, obsessed that urination on garden gnomes might threaten local power structures.

Well, that answers my question 🤦♂️ They've undone pretty much all the road safety measures started by the last government now.

I'm only disappointed that it wasn't with a thurible in the vestry.
The village thurifer is found electrocuted by a model train set. Suspicion falls on Lower Tooting’s busloads of out-of-town shoppers, confused that police Freemasonry might threaten fixed-odds betting terminals.

Dr. John H. Watson was introduced to Sherlock Holmes in 1881, specifically on New Year's Day, through an acquaintance, Stamford, while both were looking for affordable lodgings in London, leading to their famous partnership at 221B Baker Street, as described in the first novel, A Study in Scarlet

Our Solar System is orbiting the center of our Galaxy at about 220 km/s so in 2025 we collectively traveled something like 7 billion kilometers across the Milky Way. Once in a while, when you have a moment, it’s worthwhile to take a look around, see where you are, and appreciate how far you’ve come.

This is the type of theatre review I can really get behind.
extravagance - in an article relating an incident at Drury Lane Theatre is the following - ' A large piece of timber fell on Miss Poveys head & wounded her severely she was of course incapable of performing &c - who woud not of course believe Miss Poveys head harder than a Statues after this

It’s not too late, CBC. You could do one more story for 2025 about people with vacation homes in Florida or US travel plans being inconvenienced.
