We just finished watching House of Guinness on Netflix and loved it.
Any other recommendations for dark autumn nights on Netflix, BBC, or Channel 4, new or old? Love period things but doesn't have to be!
(And if you haven't seen it, check out House of Guinness!)

Red Pill Media tweet: "Yes, I like Hitler. No, I don't believe in the Holocaust narrative"
This is a "recommended" tweet pushed to a (very much not-Nazi) contact's iPhone lockscreen last week.
Who knows how many millions it was pushed to by Musk's platform, including in this case, in the UK?
It's now been deleted, but only after getting thousands of RTs.

One donation can help up to three people. It can save people's lives, but also improve the quality of life for people who have long-term illnesses and give them valuable time with friends and family.
If you have any questions, please let me know and I'd be happy to help :)

Authors hit by bad reviews on Goodreads before review copies are even circulated
Authors are being hit by negative reviews on Goodreads before review copies are even circulated, with the review site allegedly failing to remove reviews.
"βI had a one-star rating for a book that hadnβt even been seen by my copy editor. When I raised it with Goodreads they wouldnβt interfere as they said the reviewer had a perfect right to predict if theyβd enjoy it or not..."

The Gutting of Americaβs Medical Research: Here Is Every Canceled or Delayed N.I.H. Grant
Some cuts have been starkly visible, but the countryβs medical grant-making machinery has also radically transformed outside the public eye.
"Tanner, a chemist at the Univ. of Mississippi working to develop a novel approach for treating glioblastoma, was notified in April that the grant was terminated.
βI would like to cure brain cancer,β Dr. Tanner said. βI think that's not particularly controversial.β
