Saw a headline talking about the “top” 10 richest people. Can’t help feeling this should be the “bottom” 10. Amassing wealth is a failure on so many levels

Just completed my first essay since 1989. I’d forgotten how hard writing is - and I used to be a writer. Hashtag student teacher. Hashtag that’s not how to do hashtags.

Fair play to the pope for showing it’s possible to be a wise world leader as a male. A great start!

OK, this is wild.
In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.
It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.
What the HELL?

Oh, and if you think you can convince me to vote Labour ‘to keep out Farage’ by being exactly the kind of government that Farage would lead, you need to brush up on your logic.

I find it helpful to see people as being either positively to negatively polarised. Negative people create more negativity in every possible way to add to their polarity and believe they are “winning”. The greater the negativity, the bigger the win
