Trust me: whatever you’re doing right now is less important than watching this candidate interview. No spoilers, just trust:

As a small streamer I didn't expect to hit my initial goal of £50... but we did... then £70... £90... to £102.69 total! £100 allows the North of England Zoological Society (Chester Zoo) to buy batteries to run in-habitat cameras in Indonesia for a 3 month long wildlife survey. Thank you, everyone!

"I had many meetings with my handler where they expressed frustration that for all the money they'd thrown at it, direct to me and via journalists, 52% was all they would achieve. Fucking meshok s myasom they called me, polosa mochi, they said."

How does this work? You have a look in mind, maybe a Pinterest mood board, and looking for stuff that'd fit? Or are you just scavenging random curios and hoping you'll find a use for them?

Spot on. A good friend of mine still uses it "for the cat memes" and think grok is the most useful AI. Lovely bloke, but there's now a nasty edge behind a lot of his political opinions and the things he jokes about, and I blame X for it all

Btw, I've looked up sorb, sorbes/cormes in French, and although they are apparently common in my neck of the woods I'd never heard of them. I'll have to ask my family

Here's something the media is hardly talking about. This Government is set to oversee the steepest fall in living standards in modern times - unless they change course fast. In less than two weeks Labour faces a stark choice - will they tax wealth and back the majority?

Under current projections this is set to be the worst parliament on record for living standards growth - and a bar chart demonstrating it

Autre calcul: Le coût des grenades lacrymogènes en équivalent PQ. Je ne parle que de consommables, pas des lanceurs. L'autre jour, 60 grenades lacrymogènes ont été tirées autour de mon lycée en environ 1h30. Combien de rouleaux de papier toilette aurions-nous pu acheter pour le même prix?

"...cider as a base for approximating Burgundy, Malaga, Bordeaux, Claret, Port and Sherry, among others. " For some reason this reminds me of a mate at uni, homebrewing "pineapple wine".

This raises some serious questions as to the extent to which the BBC present digitally altered images as reality. This may just be a show about dancing but what policies do the BBC have in place so that this doesn't occur during it's news broadcasts.

2 separate friends have now suggested I "bob around for coffee, whenever" and I genuinely wouldn't know how. I'm not sure I ever did, but I do remember being so much more gregarious when I was younger. I'm now one pub argument away from becoming Billy no mates www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

The dreadful decline of hosting at home: ‘I feel shame any time a friend comes over’

It used to be quite normal to pop next door for a coffee or invite friends over for dinner. But not any more. What’s behind this change – and just how damaging is it?

Saying the war "never would have happened" if Donald Trump was president is not only a lie, it's possible that by signaling that the US was weak on Ukraine--by demonstrating that a president could illicitly halt aid, and that our government wouldn't actually hold him accountable--he helped cause it.

Not a bad idea but they should give much more control - the matchmaker should be able to contact people and explain "you're not my type, but looking at your profile objectively, you need a better picture, maybe one that shows your face instead of your prize carp"

I liked this article, recognised myself and my education in it. I'm not unionised, and last protested (as a lycéen as it so happens) in the 80s, but I have a deep belief in the right and duty to do so, and solidarity with those who do. e.g. I never doubted or questioned the junior doctors' protests

… a national dish consisting of fish and carbs with salt and vinegar and not much else, a former oceanic empire that collapsed after WWII, a global megacity for a capital. Almost like being a densely populated island on the edge of a powerful but unstable continent is in fact a kind of "magic soil".

Foraged locally?? I'm jealous, that's one autumn activity I miss from back home. Sadly it's one of those I would know how to do on my own, I've always depended on friends to take me to good mushroom spots and pick the correct ones... Not cêpes, never been a fan, but OMG, fresh chanterelles 😍 !!?
