Among everything else fascinating about the Louvre heist, it's delightful it took place at 9.30am. Most of us, if planning a massive jewel theft, would be setting an alarm for the middle of the night. The French remind us you can have a decent night's sleep and THEN do it.

Please write to your MP and demand that the Home Office act to help these students make it out of Gaza to study in the UK this September. Time is running out to get the government to move on this; they absolutely could take action and are — so far — choosing not to.

His victims got on the stand and shared some of the most horrific stories and he was acquitted anyway.
This is why I get so angry when people blame victims for not speaking up or walking away. Why? Who will protect them, believe them, and guarantee proper justice?

Numbers unclear: organisers hoped for 35k to 40k to defy the threat of legal consequences. “We believe 180,000 to 200,000 people attending,” Viktória Radványi told AFP. “It is hard to estimate because there have never been so many people at Budapest Pride.”

Someone needs to set up a pro-joy, pro-success pressure group, that goes around telling people who write this stuff to get a better job and go out and do enjoyable things.
Yes, yes, this is very much the consensus view across the globe. This is one of the many reasons that Glastonbury tickets are so easy to buy.
