Channel 4 have picked on the wrong group. If there’s anyone with a heightened sense of justice, a superhuman ability to hyperfocus on complaints procedures, and an insufferable determination to prove themselves right, it’s an ADHDer. Good luck, fuckheads.

Not to be some wild-eyed innocent, but I think it should be slightly bigger news that The Lancet have crunched the numbers and found that Musk's USAID cuts will kill 14 million people. And that's just by 2030. That's 9,600 people a day, every day, until the next world cup rolls around.

I was enthralled by office swivel chairs when I was little. I thought that "unwinding at the end of a day" meant they spun people around backwards the same number of times people spun forwards during the day.
