When I was younger, I heard the phrase "prima Donna" and I thought it meant a time BEFORE Madonna, if one can imagine such a thing.

Ah, the irrepressible Donna Noble. Sarcastic, mouthy but with a big heart and typing skills faster than George Russell goes round a track, she's my favourite companion.

Just FYI, volunteering is great. I give about 4 hours a week to a Greyhound Trust, and it's truly fulfilling. Plus, doggy cuddles!

ah, the Talmud says that this was the sin of the cities of the plain - Sodom and Gomorrah - that led the Lord to wipe them from the face of the earth.
nothing to do with gay sex. the cities of the plain punished a woman who tried to feed the hungry.

This is where we are now: A city in Northern California isn’t just making homelessness illegal—it’s criminalizing those who *help* people living on the street.
Under a new ordinance, “aiding or abetting” an encampment would be a misdemeanor, punishable by a $1,000 fine and up to six months in jail.

This is so fun! Great thread.
This post got me to thinking about musical opposites, e.g.
• Love Will Keep Us Together - Captain & Tennille
• Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division
Anyone think of any other examples of this?

Another fun track I've discovered while working on the latest main episode, this is what The Captain from Captain and Tennille was doing in 1964 -- surf-jazz. It is as entirely unlike "Love Will Keep Us Together" as you can get.

I kissed Gillian Anderson's hand in a dream last night, and apparently, that means I hold her in very high regard.
No, really?
Thanks, my really obvious brain.

I try to buy second-hand things so I'm not adding to that fast fashion mountain, and sell or donate stuff I don't need. Often, older things last longer, because they were made to.
We all have things - clothes, electronics, furniture - that has unexpectedly lasted for decades. But most of our stuff falls apart annoyingly quickly.
So is it possible to buy only stuff that lasts? And how? www.ft.com/content/aff9...

The anti-Shein manifesto — my quest to buy better, buy less
What if, instead of being surprised when an item survives a few years, we shopped only for things that will last?

FYI all battery users!
For more than ten years I’ve kept loose batteries in a metal tin, and yesterday evening I opened it and two of them were red hot, and I thought oh dear, that’s not good, and I looked up whether you should keep batteries in a metal tin, and let’s say I’m glad that I’m not long dead in a house fire.
