Truly shocking that Rachel Reeves had the audacity to call herself the U14 girls chess champions when she won the U14 girls chess championship but some bloke thought she was talking about something else.

Until I die, I will never understand why so many motorists think that “having a car” should give you special protections from doing crimes.

I always enjoy reading the TripAdvisor London Forum because I'm fascinated to see what foreign tourists expect, what they ask about and what surprises them. I thought this post from someone from Texas was a really lovely and cheering comment about riding the tube late at night

The older one gets, the more one comes to realise that the “grown ups” you always assumed were running things and basically knew what they were doing are really just winging it, and are often either utterly clueless or lacking in any real power to do what they’re expected to do.

As it seems to be today's discourse: took me until i was about 23, and a fair bit of coaching from female friends IRL and online, to understand that being a nerd had NOTHING to do with my lack of getting laid. Was mostly about accepting women were people. Which is shocking. But it was early 2000s.

The new Jurassic Park is brilliant. We went to see it yesterday and loved it. The best one since the original.

This is potentially great news from the PPF, opening the door to zero PPF levies. Along with the S37 announcement, it's been a good day in the world of #pensions

Photo of the Day, if not the Year. Solidarity and admiration. 📸This brilliant photo of Gisele Pelicot, leaving court for the final time yesterday, was taken by Arnold Jerocki for Getty Images.
Pelicot is seen smiling as she walks past women who are applauding her. They look emotional and one holds a sign up saying Merci Gisele

In all the Poison Ivy-related ecological googling I've done over the past few years, this is the conclusion I've come to on a personal and practical level: just use stuff for as long as you possibly can before throwing it out. Getting more granular will drive you nuts

By far the most sensible suggestion I've seen on the NHS Ideas For Change site from the 1250 contributions to date... change.nhs.uk/en-GB/ideas/...
1221/1250 From "Your ideas for change" Go to the projecta Stop wasting time on getting ideas from the general public rather than experts Look, most people haven't got a clue about how to run an incredibly complex organization like the NHS. Even less of them have any expertise in healthcare provision. Why are you wasting time, money and effort on an exercise like this? Speak to experts. Speak to people on the front line. Speak to academics who have actually put years of work into researching this. Heck, speak to other health services around the world who have good approaches. But what you don't need to do is sort through a million responses from people who think that "wokery" is ruining the NHS, or believe that if only everyone ate dandelions you could do away with ambulance sirens. Stop it. Just stop it.

First race of the cyclo-cross season Belgium National Champion and World Cup winner, Eli Iserbyt, crashes and stamps on another rider's gears. Ryan Kamp then has to run the rest of the lap. Absolute world class level shithousery! #cross is back!
