Upon reflection a spy reading papers is probably a fair description of at least half a dozen le Carré novels. But they make for pretty dull films imo 😄

I've only read one Fleming and that was a long long time ago. I mostly recall thinking if you renamed the characters and title no-one would be able to say what film "adapted" it.

Could have added an extra level, although you'd loose the nice acknowledgement in the character names.

Here's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Abandoned, dismissed and gaslighted: there is no excuse for the way ME sufferers have been betrayed | George Monbiot

Changes in guidance and science seem to have little impact on millions of devastated lives. It’s a social crisis playing out behind closed doors, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

I could imagine being in a boat generically counting as good reason. You'd want one handy to cut free if you got tangled in ropes etc and (generally) you're not a danger to others. I wonder if attacking another vessel could be charged as some sort of piracy though? Give his legal team a workout...

Absolutely. Been quite a bit online about US schools having things like maps made with AI... Which leads to teaching with this map: 🤦

Reform receives second £36m donation in two days as crypto investor matches record

Harborne has just matched the £36m donation Reform received yesterday, I guess to make sure he's heard just as much as the other crypto guy. Hope the everyday reform supporters are working out how much voice their £2 a month gets them.... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Christopher Harborne says he has equalled a donation from Ben Delo - the single largest gift to a UK political party.

I don't know that I noticed that 😲! I've also been watching late series Monk recently, and while some of the crimes can be a bit too absurd, it's very funny and great for some comic outlining practice (I.e Can I think of a situation to put Monk in he'd hate and then add a crime around that)

Death Valley is great fun! Shakespeare and Hathaway is also very funny as a similar thing. I actually think whodunnits are great for comedy as it gives a lovely structure to things you can then bounce around. Also adds stakes which helps escalate stuff.
