Anecdotally, two relatives believe they've just had COVID again, and a recruitment agent I spoke with believes his family might have caught it recently as well.

There is a betting app with an advert on Spotify that is genuinely noteworthy; set to a banging house/techno beat, a robotic male voice says "Train toilet door, didn't work. Train toilet door, didn't work. Lock broken, everyone has seen me on the bog." and then a female singer comes in to segue to

I want to write a review that does this book justice, as I consider that those least likely to pick up this book and read it are those most in need of it. I think this may be one of the most important contemporary non-fiction books. What does it mean to be anti-semitic?

Slumdog Millionaire is such an emotional rollercoaster, and Dev Patel was such a talented actor so young. The film also echoes City of God in the portrayal of Jamal’s brother, Salim. It was weird watching the first time in a Japanese cinema where laughter is discouraged.

I've only this Summer resumed paying the Licence Fee, so that I could watch the World Cup. What is this, BBC News? Is the Earl Spencer story really in the public interest to this extent? Are there no other stories of significant interest worth mentioning? Imminent escalation in the Persian Gulf, etc

I see the lead story on the Financial Times' website is about off-balance sheet guarantees for data centres. So I'm going to make a cheeky little plug for my friends' work, in which they've explained AI and data centres, among other things, from a banker's perspective, as part of a series:

Should I watch Avengers Endgame? I caught Infinity War on a plane and enjoyed that, but haven't really kept up with the Marvel Cinematic Universe since. I do think Avengers Doomsday looks like a convoluted mess of a film that will be critically panned but successful due to the legion of fans.

I'm not saying the FT's comments have gone downhill but this one is just straight-up racist. I wonder if the paper will bring in a real name policy for all comments?

GoszPressNadzsor comments on the article "Zack Polanski faces uphill battle in Keir Starmer’s former seat" in the Financial TImes:

"So it's either the Somalian or the dentistry-challenged b00b whisperer. I hope Count Binface joins in, then we have a proper clown show. And then people wonder why our government is so dysfunctional....."

T. Weizman responds to GoszPressNadzsor:

"Somalian-born but worked in, lived in, and contributed to this country for decades. What's wrong with that exactly?"

JKDB also responds to GoszPressNadzsor:

"Calling her Somalian is like calling Johnson a New Yorker. Get back to Facebook."

GoszPressNadzsor replies to JKDB with:

"Given her ostentative robes & head gear she clearly identifies as culturally Somalian. Can you name me top 10 inventions that came from that culture (banana rice & Khat chewing aside)?"

I listen to a radio show on Apple Music called Southern Craft Radio and this week one song verse in particular really surprised me, but on further investigation I appear to have got the complete opposite message of the song. genius.com/Googly-eyes-...
