We wanted to stay in Montparnasse for a fee days and them walk over to the station (Hugo !!!!), take the TGV down to Bordeaux and stay there too before flying home direct! Only €59 for a spotless, quiet, relaxing trip. And first class! Love yourselves my French stars. So much you do well♡☆

We're not. Silence?

Like Clinton and the bond market, we're intimidated out of Leveson 2 by the ugly right media and by the pathetically moany "left-wingers" hogging the Guardian comment pages with tone-deaf attacks on Labour even before the election. Sudden silence was glorious, golden even!

To continue what the bigger one is saying: Fuck off. They have demands. Educate yourself little fucker. I learned more on a 6 month placement on my mom's trading floor than I did in all my schooling. They want me to give them money. For them to give to you. Communism, of course.

Yes.

The key Stoic word in there?

Correct: "accepts"

Always a nice touch. Las Meninas by Velazquez is the ultimate expression.

No, this is about another deliberately horrible policy thrown to us kids while he works more quietly on real evil. Family not involved should be left alone.

I heard of the original argument but and support her 100% in saying what she allegedly said to people expressing hate for her. What do they expect, a "thank you"?

And that original argument is about musical genre? 1st world Problem. Get a life folks? Beyonce can aim for success wherever she wishes.

The post-snap behaviour? A hyper midlife crisis. I am so powerful, why shouldn't I have a new woman? As for these "successful people", I challenge the premise briefly at bibliocrat.com/2024/10/10/t... Really successful people change the world for the good of all. Being rich is not the criterion

Yes. And religion has zero claims to morality now. Think Religious Wars, God always on your side, the appalling treatment of children in their care, failures ad nauseam now, the strange flagellation cults like the one which has finally taken down Justin Welby.

[Voice-over] Goodness! They survive in the wild. We must leave them there, in Circle 8.5, symbolising the empty cycle of life itself. We return, slimed, to sentences with meaning. A lawyer tells the court in a fraud case: "individual words in this transaction have meaning but together have none".

True but there is no escaping the overwhelming progress in, eg, health technology. Even the great John Gray, famous for debunking meliorism, excepted tech from his analysis. Sadly, all industries have problems with fraud. Sheer scale makes control close to impossible: bibliocrat.com/2024/03/25/c...
Crime Doesn’t Pay
Oh, yes it does.Like religion, this statement is a wishful piece of putative social control. Convince people of God, hell and the rest, or that crime is a mug’s game, and you will likely make…

Yes. And if you don't read fairly widely, you are unlikely to get interested - unless Hollywood takes you there(-ish) first! And if you do read good stuff Homer is everywhere.

In hospital for about 2 months of the last four, I guess 5% of doctors read fiction. Nurses are better, often asking about books I had. No mention of the Odyssey. One doctor asked about Montaigne after I had answered a question on religion by briefly touching on him, Epicurus, Epictetus and the rest

Excellent. Greetings from the UK where Oncology has saved me for 6 years after diagnosis: with long operations, three types of chemotherapy, regular consultations with specialist nurses and consultants where relevant (Gastro, Medical, etc). Creating the NHS was a great humanitarian act. Tax me!
