A screen snip. At the top is a sentence pointing out that the Northern Line tube line closely follows the route of the Roman Road, Stane Street. Beneath are two maps, on the left Stane street is shown with settlements including Morden, Tooting, Clapham and Kennington marked. On the right is another map with the modern northern line shown. All of the settlements on the stane street map are duplicated on the tube map.

We've been on the Northern Line. The idea that it's 2000 years old seems completely reasonable.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 125:
Questions to ask yourself when plotting a book. Where's the main conflict? What does my protagonist have to overcome? What will happen if they don't?
The higher the stakes, the bigger the conflict. The bigger the conflict, the bigger the story.

in 2017 a popular twitter game was to type a partial phrase then see what your phone auto-completes it with.
this proved so popular that it is now the only business model in the US.

Recently in one of the education sessions the doctors I work with run, they brought up how many children used to die from measles each year.

2 million. 2 MILLION children used to die every year, worldwide, from measles.

That is the world anti-vaxxers want, and it is evil.

#BHM Day 14: Warmed Earth Embrace 🧢

This is a new colorway & perfect to talk abt today as it's rooted in tenderness, freedom, & quiet intimacy. The colorway draws inspiration from Miguel Γ‚ngelo Lupi's 1879 painting depicting a formerly enslaved Black couple seated closely together.

IF YOU'RE UNEMPLOYED IT'S NOT BECAUSE THERE ISNT ANY WORK 
JUST LOOK AROUND: A HOUSING SHORTAGE, CRIME, POLLUTION; WE NEED BETTER SCHOOLS AND PARKS.
WHATEVER OUR NEEDS, THEY ALL REQUIRE WORK.
AND AS LONG AS WE HAVE UNSATISFIED NEEDS, THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE.
SO ASK YOURSELE, WHAT KIND OF WORLD HAS WORK BUT NO JOBS. IT'S A WORLD WHERE WORK IS NOT RELATED TO SATISFYING OUR NEEDS, WORLD WHERE WORK IS ONLY RELATED TO SATISFYING THE PROFIT NEEDS OF BUSINESS.
THIS COUNTRY WAS NOT BUILT BY THE HUGE CORPORATIONS OR GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACIES.
IT WAS BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO WORK. AND, IT IS WORKING PEOPLE WHO SHOULD CONTROL THE WORK TO BE DONE. YET, AS LONG AS EMPLOYMENT IS TIED TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROFITS, THE WORK WONT GET DONE.

There are two kinds of people in the world:

People who suffered, and think because of that, everyone else should suffer the way they did because otherwise it's not fair.

People who suffered, and think because of that, no one else should have to suffer either.

Be the second.

Too many A.I. disciples seem motivated by some kind of juvenile envy of creators. They aren’t artists, they just seem to love the thrill of hurting the livelihoods of people who make a living doing what they never could - hence the β€œHollywood is OVER, losers” attitude they all share.

mono-culturalism is boring as fuck

learning about other cultures and belief is fascinating

And if you believe yours can't withstand the stew pot, then your shit is weak as shit

Poverty is not real.
You should not be allowed to work from home.
Minimum wage is a bad idea.
Women need to stay at home and have kids.
Migrant workers are the problem.

I don’t know guys. It seems like Reform might not represent the working class at all?

A screenshot of a BBC News article excerpt. The text reads: "She added that some activists for trans rights had been 'so strident that it's made it more difficult for trans people themselves who are just trying to live under the radar', while equally people who had taken the view no-one should ever transition had 'similarly made it difficult'."

"If trans people hadn't spoken out on our campaign to push them out of society, it wouldn't have been so bad for them."

You already know my opinion of the BBC can't get any lower.

All I'm asking is that you cancel your licence fee. Trust me: you won't miss it, and you won't be paying for them to platform The Worst people.
