i see we're arguing about whether air travel has gotten better or worse over the past 40 years, and as somebody who has been flying for decades, let me tell you that boy are my arms tired
The Conservative Party tried to turn the reformed Neo-Nazi saga around onto Jewish communal organisations by suggesting that they could facilitate a meeting between him and them. The Board of Deputies and the JLC have rightly told the Tories where to go. www.jewishnews.co.uk/board-and-jl...
A good thread on the slow rollout of GLP-1s to low-income Australians. It increasingly feels like one of the most effective health interventions of the 21st century is being slow-rolled because many people in public health across the world simply don't like its vibes.

Love love love PG Wodehouse. His first novel for adults and already into his stride

On either side you see the huddlines which support the rickety much loved structure with great charm and personality.
Paul@atticusfinch-105.bsky.social · 21h agoThis is called a ‘hudd’ and was used in the 18th century for the priest to stand in when conducting graveside services in wet weather. The Wingfield hudd is one of just two in East Anglia. There's another at Walpole St Peter in Norfolk. #History #HistoryMatters
A thorough investigation into the many ways this show has been misunderstood, and the problems that arise when people try and assess the ‘wrong’ type of failure.

You don't need to care about either Mary Tyler Moore or CBS variety shows from 1978 to get something out of those articles, I hope. They're really all about how easily shows can be misrepresented and misinterpreted over the years.

Pleased to see actresses talking about this because imo if you need to "method act" you can't act x
Chelsea clearly couldn’t resist Henderson’s outstanding performances at the World Cup where he played for 6 minutes in total and broke his arm after celebrating and falling over a hoarding.
I sometimes think we don't realise just how much modern pitches have come on. Sometimes you see footage of a top flight 1970s game and it's being played on a featureless mud bath from which the lines have long since vanished

Good BBC piece by Sarah Rainsford on what we do & don't know about the causes and consequences of the flashpoint crisis in Ceuta She opens with the 72 deaths: a death toll of this scale has been largely treated as an incidental detail in a news event + political clash www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
How Spain's migrant crisis created a political storm - whipped up by social media

Simon’s work was a big part of my late teens, but I hardly hear it mentioned nowadays. It’s a shame.
Why Don't YouTube?@whydontyoutube.bsky.social · 3d ago30 YEARS AGO TODAY: one of Simon Munnery's many low budget pilots actually makes it to TV for once. London Shouting is a vehicle for Alan Parker Urban Warrior featuring Peter Serafinowicz, Julian Barrett, Mel Gierodyc and Super Furry Animals.
Driving late at night on the A40 in London, you regularly see drivers weaving around, clearly under the influence. It’s not comforting when you just want to get from A to B without getting into an accident with one of these morons.
Paul Clarke@paulclarke.com · 3d agoPetty driving illegality is just one of the more visible signs of bigger things breaking down. I don't understand why more dramatic, publicised, stops and crushings aren't happening. You don't need LOTS of resources. You need a few, doing the job, and showing they are. 5/5
A really interesting thread about the misuse of labelling for chronic health symptoms.
Marina@marstrina.bsky.social · 3d agoI'm going to risk washing into the fraught discourse about Long Covid, because I have skin in the game. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia on 2012, but in retrospect it's obvious I'd been ill for decades (often the case.) I pushed back *hard* against the label, because I had, after much research,
Wonderful. I do miss the old bastard, though.
Phil Norman@mrphilnorman.bsky.social · 3d agoJust been leading through Best Seller!, the tie-in book from EoPO's parent radio series The Burkiss Way. It features this parody of Clive James's Unreliable Memoirs, which has the usual "twanging me bludger's donger" slang gags, but unlike other parodies, also gets the James cadence spot on.
