Occasionally, it's good to get out into the fresh air. I'd suggest that everyone who possibly can, should.

Linux would be the dominant operating system right now if it wasn't for the gatekeeping by geeks who have no idea how to explain the benefits in plain English to the ordinary user. Spoiler, that 10 year old laptop that you think is slow will still work fine with Linux.

I'm almost certain something this fat has 4wd, but the driver just hasn't looked for the button. Even if they haven't, a second looking out the window should be able to work out how to get out of this. A Frenchman in a Talbot Sunbeam would be laughing at this.

It's a bit chill out. #my400

Absolutely shocking. We're offering an overall award of £10k for information that leads to a conviction in these cases. We need to make raptor persecution a thing of the past.

I am choosing to keep this essay permanently unpaywalled. It's about the general idea of people reaching their artistic peak later in life, and the amazing art my parents have been producing in their 60s and 70s (much of which has made its way into my books): www.tom-cox.com/the-magic-ro...

I feel glad that our tech obsessed 13yo is also devoted to open source software and checks repairability ratings before buying anything. Also refuses to engage with anything on a subscription model, and strongly believes that once you've bought something - you should own it!

The replies and quotes on this are excellent! A decent estate car will have more space than an SUV, while being safer and more economical for everyone. In the specs, boot space is measured in litres, but it's floor area that is most useful - check length and width (Skoda Superb>Defender 110!).

Once had a friend pick us up coming home from holiday in her SUV. Could not get our 3 suitcases into its boot. The same 3 suitcases that had previously just about fit OK into my Fiesta's boot. SUVs are only good at hogging public space. Nothing else.

If the government can retrospectively apply immigration laws to refugees, it can also make things you did in the past that were legal at the time illegal and throw you in prison for them. I could make retrospective taxes and bill you for what you made ten years ago, for example.

I have zero tolerance for the “well, I guess we have no choice with immigrants but to deport them or lock them up if the paperwork goes wrong”

Okay, I can't let this one go. I live in Ireland, not the UK, but the use of this image by a supposedly socialist party is so stupid and offensive, I'm going to get stuck in. Let me explain to you why any experienced illustrator/designer could have stopped you making so many miserable mistakes. 1/

I wish Tom would write more about Barrow-in-Furness. All is definitely not as it seems. Black Combe looms over the town, the surrounding estuaries, dunes and salt-marshes, eyed jealously by the neighbouring King of Roe Island and protected only by spirits of monks in the Vale of Deadly Nightshade.

Just a heads up that we still have some remaining copies of Flow available if you haven't got hold of one yet. 60 pages of beautiful and original art and photography with all proceeds from sales going directly to supporting the visual arts on Dartmoor. dartmoorcollective.org/product/flow...

As someone with a vegan family member, who has always wondered why more people don't even consider meat free options, this is fascinating. (Even if you just scroll through to see the questions and the graphs of results, you might be surprised at how one simple barrier could be overcome.)

Absolutely this. I remember reading once somewhere that the "marshmallow test" didn't actually show what people said it showed, but rather it correlated with a) poverty and b) kids whose adult authority figures lied to them. They took it now because they had no reason to believe they'd get a second.

Who doesn't love maps? (As a kid brought up on fantasy novels, I went through a phase where I wouldn't buy a book unless it had a map...)

I've got (for those in the UK) a few signed paperbacks of this with a lovely free postcard of the map my dad illustrated for it. £9.99 RRP plus p&p. Drop me an email at [email protected] and a reply here if you'd like one. Hills, folklore, psychedelic music, social history, magic, rivers, ghosts.

Thanks so much for the kind words, Tim (and, of course, the Eliot reference). Full film is up now on our YouTube ICYMI: youtu.be/5L3wsAdqwec

The one thing the Green Party really really need to do is rebrand. Clamp down on the weird fluorescent green cardboard signs that pop up, have one solid identity, and stop it looking like a hangover from head shops and hippy shit from the 1970s and 80s.

The Revolution is here. (But we still need people to paint the walls.)

“I’m old enough to remember when mainstream British politicians, who should know better, stirred up racial hatred as a path to power. You’re old enough to remember too because it was last Tuesday. And it was Robert Jenrick” Cathartic anger at flag-flying racism. www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

Over 40% of corn grown in Indiana is used to make ethanol that cars burn. One acre of corn yields about 16,500 vehicle-miles per year of ethanol, which sounds high until you realize that one acre of solar yields about 2,700,000 vehicle-miles per year: 16,000% more driving for a given plot of land.

If you think that's rude, you should hear what pigeons are saying to themselves as they take to the air and realise they shouldn't have raided that last bin...

Finally!!! The real scandal of the asylum hotels. Why, instead of shining the light on these parasites, months were spent on demonising vulnerable people at their mercy? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow Out of this stony rubbish? Son of man, You cannot say, or guess, for you know only A heap of broken images,..." (The work @dartmoorcollective.org do with amateur, emerging and professional artists is fabulous, take a look.) (Apologies to Eliot.)
