Screenshot of text: Now here's the United States government. Everybody knows what's going on in there, even though nobody can know how bad it really is. The people inside have sounded the alarm and called in the emergency. They're telling the people outside as much as they can see of what's happening, whichever piece of the devastation is in front of their eyes. People are trying to gather on the scene. And the authorities, the people hired and paid to respond—what are they doing? Some of them are right up beside the destruction, some of them are hovering out on the edges. Some of them are executing what they think is the protocol for this type of situation even though it's obvious to their own eyes and ears that the protocol and the situation are a mismatch. Some are waiting to get word from the chain of command. Someone somewhere is looking for the right tools, the appropriate key.

This is Harrison's story. Except it's not. It's Bob's.

How Leeds United made a dream come true and then surrounded a family with love and care, giving them a 'priceless' gift.

Would love you to read this one.

Imagine losing in a least awful human being contest to Kemi Badenoch!

Would love to know how Kemi Badenoch, who appears to have a passionate hatred of pretty much the entire human race, was able to rise to level she has.

Never heard of Neopets before, this is a beautifully written essay on modern capitalism.

It's all very well Sunak has scrapped the meat tax, but he's done absolutely nothing about the hated chocolate tax.

Former BBC reporter and producer Patrick Howse gives this account of the BBC's inability to cope with lying during the Brexit campaign and in the government thereafter. Some of it will sound very familiar to US readers. bylinetimes.com/2022/03/30/l...
