Apparently this isn’t an onion parody. I’m not up on my American papers, but is the NYP like the UKs Sport? Think they did the same here with Jeremy Corbyn, going after his flat cap and allotment jams.
I mean I’d vote for higher taxes, free stuff, hating Israel’s genocidal actions and vibes too.

This is the Newcastle metro map- 11 years between Byker and Ponteland. (Study was pre covid, so I’d dread to see it now) Glasgow also has a similar grim infographic.
In Northumberland it’s 16 years within 5 miles. I’m really angry but not sure even where to place it.

On the weekend of international women’s day, it was a privilege to watch so many amazing girl judoka’s.
Kiddo is a British Judo Schools National Bronze medalist- even though she was the youngest, smallest and lowest grade in her group. Mega proud.

I’m kind of hoping for this model. (Titles are a bit wild though!)
Some folk should be expert designers, whilst others are better suited to managing teams. Seen examples are excellent designers sucking at people and visa versa.

What does this even mean? ‘People in general’, what’s general? my mates who grew up on the same estate as me? Or compared to the people I’ve met along the way, like who have live in many’s for their kids?
