Do we need a refresher course on what the word "Republican" means?

I'm starting to think that one of the more radical things that any of us could do is to write each other long, thoughtful and considered letters. Then, on receiving such, set aside a few hours to carefully read, reread and reply to it. Probably over a cup of tea.

Not that I'm obsessing... Both Google and Wikipedia think we're still in the running. And who are we to argue with our robot overlords?

Genuinely disappointed when I worked out that these are dental implants that are fitted using lasers to guide the process or some such, rather than dentures that come with phasers pre-installed to zap your enemies when you smile at them.

It's really time to stop advertising alcohol. People's experiences differ but, like other drugs, it causes huge harm for many. Companies that claim to have a nuanced understanding of the world, like @londonreview.bsky.social, really shouldn't need a prompt from government to act appropriately.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last tv show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

Surely, "Adults - actual adults who one might have hoped would have better things to do..." would be more appropriate than "People".
