I was a teenager in the 80s in Scotland and nobody went to these halls, the odd kid went to BB/ Scouts, most hung around doing nothing.

Of course it doesn’t mean that but if America continues on the path of having people like RFK in charge of HHS then globally it’s a problem not just for America

Sort of but not really, when a powerhouse of health and research goes rogue, the overall amount of money spent globally decreases substantially which will impact discoveries.

When I was 10 I trashed my new road bike on a dirt track and then made up a story about getting chased by a rabid raccoon that spiraled out of control from there.

Anyway, imagine getting beat up in Dupont Circle by two little kids, lying about it, and suddenly the POTUS is going to federalize DC.

Rereading Sherlock Holmes for the nth time and struck, as I always am by the utter idiocy of Alexander Holder, the banker who entrusted with an irreplaceable jewel of the empire decided the bank's safe was too risky so took it home, stuck it in an old desk and told everyone where it was

After 1680 or so (siege of Vienna) they were kind of crap at everything. I seem to remember reading g the Ottomans invented trench warfare and then forgot and had to relearn 100 years later from the French.

Ok.

So what do we do?

I'm no economist, but it seems like there are few good options.

1. Reverse as far as possible Brexit
2. Remove blocks on investment (planning reform: not the same as deregulation)
3. Tax reform
4. The state picks up slack with structural investment

DO bumped this, and I'm also bumping it because the 'apology' is brilliant. "How many times must you be penalised in life?"

A Twitter DM from June 2022 reads: 

Hi Mollie, I hope you're well. Just sending a message to say thanks. Early this year you tweeted a Guardian Blind Date, where the guy dragged the girl a little bit. After seeing a couple of people saying some pretty shit things about her on Twitter, I DM'd her to balance it out a bit - just say I thought she came across as really funny and fuck the haters etc (but with no other real intention other than that).
Well we hit it off, talked every day for a month (I was working out of the UK at the time) and agreed to meet as soon as I returned. I ended up coming home early and we've been dating ever since. It might sound a bit over the top but l've never felt like this about anyone else before, and I'm pretty sure she feels the same way. I've honestly had some of the best months of my life with her around, and I want to say thanks

A Twitter DM from tonight reads:

Hey Mollie, I hope you don't mind an update on the above.
I asked her if she'd marry me, she said yes!
She's my world.
I'm so incredibly thankful for you tweeting that thing that led me and meet - I'm eternally in your debt.
Thanks!

So, I’m kind of tentatively branching out into podcast production, so here’s my pitch -

Obviously there are too many podcasts in the world, but as someone who listens to a lot of them, my great issue is that - even among some of the prominent ones - the production values often aren’t very high.

It is remarkable to me the way experts in DSD like Sinclair and Fausto-Sterling are so committed to misinforming the public about the nature of sexual development. He packs so much nonsense and prevarication into that paragraph you almost miss that he’s lumping CAIS and PAIS together.
