This frontispiece in my book just made me laugh a lot. Is this Buddhist reincarnation, or some other form of afterlife?

Yeah, we can be sorry that she died, but let's also celebrate that she lived, and how she lived. And nobody worth a damn has a bad thing to say about her, just as it should be.

Maybe one way we can honor Dolly Parton's memory is by following her advice: "Find out who you are and do it on purpose."

I’m reminded of the time I was in a BBC editors’ meeting where we all had BBC News alerts enabled, and we found out seven times that the ventriloquist Keith Harris had died. #alert

To people living in fear of abuse who have a secret phone - or indeed anyone with good reason to want emergency alerts off their phone - please share. I've not had any alerts today so I'm guessing it worked when I did this on my phone a while back 👍 www.gov.uk/alerts/optin...

Loads of people saying they accidentally dismissed the alert so didn’t get to read it. In case you ever need it, and if you’re somewhere you have data, recent alerts should always be at www.gov.uk/alerts.

Every car rental line ever By instagram user @mattsurelee
A humorous infographic titled “Every Rental Car Line Ever” showing a collection of colored dots representing different types of people and workers in a chaotic rental car office, with a small boxed area on the left containing blue and yellow dots depicting workers either milling around or frantically searching for cars while an orange dot represents a guy being tricked by insurance questions and a cluster of pink dots below symbolizes an exhausted family discovering they are renting a truck, while on the right side a scattered line of brown, green, purple, and red dots represents confused customers such as people in the wrong line, those with no urgency, a woman without a driver’s license, someone who needs to be downtown in negative fifteen minutes, and at the far right a striped multicolored dot represents people wondering why the process takes so long, with each dot explained by a legend at the bottom.

This is good news, and it matters beyond the ponds themselves. It's a reminder that, as others have said, the horrifying rollback of trans rights in the UK over the last year and change has happened wholly without a democratic mandate. When the people get a say, they demand inclusion.
Article header reading "Hampstead Heath ponds to remain trans-inclusive after public back existing rules." It goes on to say "Policy agreement means trans people will continue to have access to Kenwood Ladies' and Highgate Men's ponds in north-west London". Then there's a picture of someone diving into water, below which it says "A public consultation found 86% of the 38,000 respondents favoured retaining the ponds' existing trans-inclusive arrangements.

I hate that we're demanding refugees integrate (without ever really explaining what that means) while never giving them more than 2.5 years permission to be in the UK. As yet another war starts, that will inevitably create more refugees.
