Thereâs a council byelection coming up in Margate - because one Reform guy has gone to prison, nice - & town seems to be exactly split between Reform & Greens. Havenât seen Labour or Tories mentioned anywhere. Donât know if theyâre even running

I love the fact that this means I can turn left or right at the end of my road & walk to anywhere on the coast in Britain on one path (I mean I can actually only walk for about 15 mins but in theory)

World's longest coastal path opens in England to the public
The King Charles coastal path will allow walkers right of access to the entire coast for the first time.

That rhythm is so distinctive - I think itâs a certain kind of US journalese mixed with mildly dated ad copy. Makes sense considering what itâs hoovered up. Of course soon humans will write like that because they read so much of it

Distracting myself from *waves in the general direction of everything* by a stroll to Chelsea Creek and Foreshore to check on the wondrous Saxon fish trap. V-shaped, carbon dated to the reign of King Offa, 757- 796 CE. Itâs comforting amid the madness to think how well this structure has survived.

Hope this is enough of a kick in the balls for Labour to notice that constantly chasing Reform voters & just assuming centre & left people have to vote for them is a bad idea

It seems as if this might have turned out to be made up - and AI generated? Dismal view of the future, that humans are kept busy happily reading & discussing AI stories in a corner while it gets on with taking over the world

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease
