this is about transport bottlenecks

but I do wonder what will happen to the World Cup, with a chunk of the world on fire, massive constraints on global air travel, rising prices, the USA historically unpopular, and probably not a great time to gather in very large crowds

and will nations boycott?

outdated niche market with audio- and e-books too, if you're in a rush to get the content

I feel reassured we're probably on the right side: taking important things with the overdue seriousness they deserve, but can also ridicule ourselves

"I don't do politics"

Because the news upsets me. Because I'm trying to "keep things positive!" Because it's bad for my mental health. Because I don't have time. Because I don't have energy. Because I don't want to offend you. Because it doesn't affect me. Because I have enough on my plate. Because I can see them coming, outside my window, I can see them coming, but they're not coming for me.

Former Chief Medical Officer calls out Streeting’s highly politicised β€˜trial’ of puberty blockers. Meanwhile @goodlawproject.org have uncovered a spike in trans youth ending their own lives because they can’t access appropriate care. This is a national scandal.

Don't forget the harm of Covid The Covid Inquiry heard its final statements yesterday

"The scars of the Covid pandemic run deep, a rupture in the relationship hundreds of thousands of citizens have with the state that has never fully healed."

Reflections on the final week of the Covid Inquiry - on what we have learned, and what we try to forget

Israel is extensively bombing the suburban area of Dahiya, south of Beirut. This is the namesake of the 'Dahiya Doctrine', a strategy whereby the IDF targets civilians and civilian infrastructure to put political pressure on governments they don't like. It's literally the definition of a war crime.

How can this be real. It's just impossible he used "Money for Nothing." The only scenario where this makes sense is his own social media people hate him and are intentionally undermining him.

try not to take it personally, as I often say β€” it wasn't built to harass you in a day, it definitely took a lot of sinister, calculating effort, spread over weeks at the very least, thinking about what specifically would trigger you, so you should take all the time you need πŸ€—

he felt a natural empathic bond with the poor confused pensioner, and we should not take that away from him
