Byzantium, Renaissance humanism, battery materials, apiculture...or any combination of the above.
A counterclaim might be an interesting idea
BBC has a case against Trump. WhiteHouse Chief Press Officer called the BBC ‘100% fake news.’ Which is defamatory and untrue.

Robin Lane Fox writes this weekend of tulips:
"Now that prices have risen, shop around, order fewer and plant in groups, not regimented armies: less, in tulip bedding, is often aesthetically more."
But this is the FT. Is an article on rising tulip prices a metaphor?

In the United States the President is deliberately dismantling the White House, while in the United Kingdom we are doing nothing to stop the Palace of Westminster from falling apart.
Much the same can be said of our respective constitutions.

Any comments on this photograph, which I understand to have been associated with a press release concerning the Louvre jewel 'heist'?
It has been suggested that this is the Paris Gendarmerie's elite 'Flaneur Squad'.

Also: what do you do if you're a smallish economy like the UK being bounced around between the trade behemoths? Damned if I know. First 300 clicks free.

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself
An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Amazon has an algorithm such that for any enquiry I make through a search engine, Amazon always offers it to me cheap.
Today saw the apogee of this idiocy.
A relative of mine has recently been diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL).
Amazon is offering me 'Low priced CLL cancer'...

Ben McAteer, Gaynor Keeble and Phoebe Smith in notably good voice.
As to the set, well I suppose that even Jackson Pollock had his off days.
