The triage wait time outside, OUTSIDE! A&E at St. Thomas’s Hospital was 2hrs, that’s just to begin the process of seeing a medical professional. Apart from a lady in a volunteer bib no one from the hospital came to talk to any of us. Man near me vomming on floor and no one came to clean it up.

A reminder that 91% of over 872,000 people who completed the BBC’s survey about their programming said that they want an independent BBC. The BBC has added “government of the day” to the result which does change the meaning somewhat.

I couldn’t justify spending £7.50 on a candle especially as I wanted the whole box, so I had to make do with this photo.
Seen in the Courtauld Shop if anyone needs candles or Christmas presents, dare I mention it.

One of the things I appreciate most about living in Norfolk is the fact that it induces a near-constant state of bewilderment. 1/3

I just managed to get my neighbour's builders to take away some fly-tipped rubbish that has been shunted around our street for the last 6 months. I am so happy, I wish the council just do a fly-tip sweep once a month instead of waiting to be asked.

A global failing of governance.
Given the Mamdani discourse, I wrote a bit about billionaires. If you were given $100 a day and aimed to have as much wealth as the world’s billionaires, you’d have had to have started about when animals first developed the ability to breathe oxygen.

Im at a Gen Z event and there’s a vibe that I can’t quite put my finger on but it’s something like the entertainment version of shein, recycled aesthetics, canva graphics, it all seems very plasticky and transient with the cultural depth of a puddle. I loathe the internet for this homogenisation.

You would never guess that Rachel Reeves' visit to Kimberly College was to announce that they are building Universal Studios Theme Park near by.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

There should be a register of memorial services so that you can look up what songs, poems and readings people chose and why, like a kind of ultimate Desert Island Discs.

I don't think it is mentioned enough how bad Renzo Piano's Intesa Sanpaolo Tower in Turin is. More and more people are visiting the city and they all have the same question, Ugh, what's that?
