I’m sure there are many who will be disappointed about the result if the Assisted Dying Bill 2 in Parliament, but I have to say I am profoundly relieved it has been defeated.

a truly bad episode of Game Changer, for once from Dropout in any episode, let alone a season finale, I don't know why you'd reduce all the game's prizes to unfunny bits; even if they have odd catches the more the episode went on, the worse it got; baffling creative choice

It's mostly forgotten now, because that's how it goes with memes, but the original "Vibes? Papers? Essays? Losers" tweet was posted on 10/8 to mock anyone who dared think that massacring civilians by the hundred was bad, and that was very much a prevailing sentiment in some corners

I think a classic example of this was when the endlessly tedious "Poppywatch" account tweeted a picture of Prince Philip in uniform at the Festival of Remembrance with "what did you get those medals for, Phil?" when the response was "he's a Second World War veteran who was Mentioned in Despatches?"

Also, to be clear here: Algerian Indepdence and Vietnamese Unification were both marked by masses of ethnic, religious and political violence and expulsions, and I think it's fair to call of that senseless and unconscionable. 7/10 *did not* help Palestine.

Today we have a new entry in the Great Library of Mortlake, the sinister volume known as the Tyburn Gospels...
joshuamreynolds.co.uk
Prophecies of the Hanged Man
The Great Library of Mortlake Sinister Tomes of the Royal Occultist Mythos. 3. The Tyburn Gospels The exact provenance of the unpleasant volume known as the Tyburn Gospels or 'The Dyvrse ad Most Accurayt Prophecys of ye Hanged Man' is unknown. Speculation, of course, is rife among those lucky (or unlucky) few who are aware of its existence as anything other than an offhand comment in an excised entry from the diaries of the antiquarian, John Loveday. Purportedly composed by an itinerant engraver named John Ashbless in 1759, the volume consists of twenty-three 'prophecies' - supposedly delivered by the highwayman William Pentworth as he hung from Tyburn Tree - the infamous gallows that occupied what is today the junction of Edgeware Road, Bayswater Road and Oxford Street until the 18th century.
