I think it is very good that the PM is being so publicly vulnerable about grieving his father. That is also a form of leadership

Used to work in a small cafe in Carlisle when I overheard a young man deliberating with his friend whether he should move to London or not and was waiting for a sign. I stuck London Calling on and the look he gave his friend stuck with me and I really hope he made it to London.

Every year on 19 December, the famous Christmas lights at Mousehole in Cornwall are dimmed between 8 and 9pm, leaving just the Cross and Angels shining down across the village and out to sea.

Me: Is there something you want to say to me? Wife: No. Me: I can tell there's something bothering you. Wife: Fine. I wish you'd get over your obsession with 90s hip-hop. Me: Whoomp! There it is.

‘I don’t chase the dollar. I never did’: the astonishing hidden life of Mr T
He grew up in the ghetto, became a global superstar – then gave it all up. Why did he step away from the spotlight?

Anyone making suggestions like "house prisoners in laundry rooms" should be force-read Chris Atkins' account of his 9 months at HMP Wandsworth - during which most inmates were locked down 23 hours a day, unable to attend education or work courses, exercise, or even shower. Then talk about laundries

Saw this a couple of days and it's upset me because I don't have any expertise that would behoove anyone so here's my favourite dinosaur fact: the stegosaurus was already a 45 million year old fossil by the time the Tyrannosaurus Rex first appeared.

“But the immeasurable gains fossil fuels have given us over the past century are now being taken away in real time, hundreds of houses, thousands of evacuations, and billions of dollars at a time, leaving behind mass trauma, ravaged landscapes, impoverished communities, and a tattered social fabric”

Nevermind the Germans having a word for everything. This is lovely.
Gezelligheid. The word doesn’t have a perfect English translation - perhaps cosiness or togetherness; but you know it when you see it. “It captures the Dutch spirit of being active outdoors regardless of weather, combined with a highly organised community effort.”
