You may have missed this gem yesterday. From which we learn that:
1. Betting shops are really good for the mental health of isolated people.
2. Most drug-takers are not a problem.
3. Kids put tuppence in slot machines in the hope of getting rich.
4. Farage probably has a gambling industry donor.

There are no depths to which some will not sink.
“There were no political or religious motivations. They were rich people who went there for fun and personal satisfaction. We are talking about people who love guns who perhaps go to shooting ranges or on safari in Africa.”
Some days I wonder if we deserve to survive as a species.

There's this story about how CS Lewis was out with a friend and stopped to give a vagrant some money. Lewis's friend chided him, saying "you know he's just to buy liquor with it, right?"
Lewis responded, "Well, so was I."
Lewis responded, "Well, so was I."
The right's obsession with SNAP recipients buying popsicles is a modern version of a centuries-old tradition of scolding the poor for what they eat. It mimics verbatim Victorian complaints about the poor indulging in tea and sugar, mistaking consumption as a cause of poverty instead of a symptom.

Might Brexit, by any teensy-weensy chance, have anything to do with 'the dire state of the financial sector'? And won't investors of all types flee from UK if Reform ever get into power? Just asking....

A great article about The Specials, and if you scroll back up the thread there's an interesting first performance of The Tide Is High.
The Specials/Blondie connection did lead to one unlikely outcome in the shape of some early UK rap, as mentioned in my piece about Too Much Too Young for @thequietus.com earlier this year thequietus.com/opinion-and-...

The road to The Specials' first number one was long but they blazed a trail in finally getting Too Much Too Young to the top

There’s no screening for ovarian cancer and it’s really difficult to spot: you can’t squidge your ovaries in the shower to check for lumps. Also it’s very good at masquerading at other things, like IBS and diverticulitis.
Please take a look at this list of symptoms - and share if you can.
