Apparently today is a day for reminding people that they have worth and value. So if you need reminding of that - you have worth. You have value. You are allowed to take up space.

I was wide awake at 3am with an orchestral and choral piece of music in my head. Couldn’t think what is was but it was vivid. Just realised that it was the theme from the 1974 miniseries Moses The Lawgiver. Not heard it in years. Why the hell did my brain file it?!! youtu.be/aqSuRHOnjuk?...

I don’t have a whole lot of advice for people younger than me but the earlier in life you stop worrying about what other people will think and just wholeheartedly enjoy the stuff you like the happier you’ll be
One thing people kind of tell you, but not really, about middle age:
One day you'll be like "oh [thing] looks fun but people will think I'm a loser" about a thing
And then you'll say. Wait a second.
Fuck 'em

I’ve always had a lot of time for Lord Patten. The fact that he can make these very valid points in a radio interview while - it would seem - doing the washing up has raised him even higher in my estimation.
SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.
"I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA

Since we’re in the mood for strict accuracy in broadcast news, worth noting that a rival channel had a pundit - unchallenged - say asylum seekers in hotels committed 44% of sexual offences in one county, seemingly because she cannot understand basic maths.
A national newspaper journalist went on a British TV channel to claim police stats showed asylum-seekers committed 44% of sex crimes in Dorset.
This shocking claim was treated as fact by the channel which promoted the clip on social media where it was amplified by AI.
Except... it's bollocks.
