the European mission to Greenland was fourth in the BBC news running order this morning, which feels a bit like doing a light "and finally..." item about the archduke's motorcade taking a wrong turn in Sarajevo

The Ellison/Weiss CBS News of today would insist they couldn't platform Eisenhower without also platforming Göring and if anyone pointed out how ridiculous it was they'd talk about the importance of "open debate" and if you complained loudly enough they'd say "come debate that on my podcast"

Think I’ve just found the most English thing.

Burglars warn: door locks and alarms could "financially ruin" the burgling industry

The Venn diagram of England and Portugal has "enormous historic maritime empires" and "big fans of custard" in the intersection.

Numpy rhymes with grumpy and I will not be taking any questions.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Remember those who have been killed, injured, abused, tortured for being who they are. Remember those who have taken their own lives because they could not live in a world where they could not be themselves. Remember them. And make the world remember them.
