Recently, for *obvious reasons*, I've been thinking about what it means when anxiety and sadness are caused not by individual predispositions, but by the state of the world itself. This led me to early 19th-c. France and the notion of "mal du siècle" (sickness of the century)

Finished another excellent book. The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin. Took me a while to get into it but definitely worth persevering to the end.

I'm in Tunbridge Wells Assembly Hall for the only election count in Kent today. One third (13 seats) of Tunbridge Wells Borough Council is up for election, plus two by-elections, giving us 15 seats up for grabs. We're expecting results to come in from around lunchtime.

Inequality reaches record levels in the UK
Britons now live in one of the most unequal countries in the world, according to a new report based on six years of research. These disparities are evident both geographically and in terms of public health.

Discovery: When a parasite invades a cell, the cell’s mitochondria react by shedding their outer layers to form brand-new cellular compartments — or organelles — that digest molecular trash.

Mitochondria can spawn new ‘organelles’ — hinting at how modern cells evolved
Discovery bolsters theory that ancient mitochondria formed brand-new, specialized ‘sacs’ in cells by shedding their outer membranes.
