If you haven’t tried meditation before or if you have fallen out of the habit, I would recommend going to Headspace.com and giving it a try. Have a wonderful Christmas holiday.

It reminds me of a company I used to run that did drama-based personal development workshops. The tag-line for our most popular course was, ‘Find out who you really are and what you really want’. Headspace is helping you to do that.

Beginning meditation; calming everyday anxiety; happier holidays; rest & recharge for new parents; thrive as a leader; show yourself love; celebrating black joy; anger, sadness and growth; being a mindful parent and much more.

On reflection, and revisiting Headspace, I find that it has grown up. Although it doesn’t still have the easy system of one meditation per day for a year, it has become a stimulating resource for exploring one’s inner world, broken down into practical areas.

I used to meditate and found that it helped to decrease my cravings for dopamine. For a year I did daily meditations from the Headspace app and was disappointed when I came to the end of the series. I fell out of my good meditation habit and went back to social media for my dopamine hit.

I mean, the people can't dance, not the pens...

The Visual Display of Quantitative Information by Tufte. But I think the fits of laughter were about what a 'Power BI party' might be like. A room full of people with pens in their top pockets, none of whom can dance?

Trump did say he loves the poorly educated.

Despite desperate attempts to pretend she wasn't, she was giggling for the next 15 minutes and it was hard to get back on track. Worth it though. I love making people laugh.

Education is good. Travel opens the mind. Learning another language helps you get jobs. WTF has this got to do with being upper class or from North London???

Here’s the full original story in @thenewworldmag.bsky.social from several weeks ago, where we pointed out the issues in Prescott’s dossier:

Yes, if an election were held now, but I think Reform and Farage have peaked. It is extraordinary how effective Zack Polanski's attacks have been. If more politicians were to point out that Farage's only policy 'success' is the disaster that is Brexit, Reform might deflate like a BTech's souffle.

I look for European alternatives to American products, and there are plenty listed on websites, but they are specifically EU products. Farage and Brexit have made the UK is almost as toxic to EU citizens as the US.

You, the USA, could change this if you wanted to. Gun violence in the US is on a completely different scale from that of other countries as a direct result of your laws. So put away the pious voices. YOU CHOOSE to let your kids be killed in school so that you can keep your macho gun culture.

So I expect it will have been taken out with the rubbish by then. Why can't the half-wits deliver to a neighbour like DPD do? BBC News - Man hand delivers Evri parcels dumped by his bins in Netley Abbey - BBC News
