Was it a little more complicated than that perhaps.

Also the latest first hurricane of the season for over a hundred years. It's a bit more complicated than that applies here.

Quite pleased with tonight's Pork roast to be honest.

We loved this so much we just had to put English subtitles on it, apologies to the French speakers for our translation. But this is what it would look like here in the UK if Farage or Lowe or another of their ilk got their own way.

A helpful key here for understanding what wingnuttery is and how it works, here. I 100% guarantee you this did not happen and that the boys she’s talking about - she later clarified they were “Pakistani” - do not exist. And yet, I can also assure you Eve is *absolutely convinced* she saw this.

On 9/11, school was dismissed at noon. My mother came to collect me because the school bus wasn't running. We went home and watched the television all day and all night. The next day I returned to school. Everyone was sad except a certain group of young boys in the corner of my form class. They were celebrating like it was the greatest day of their lives. I will never forget.

Matt Stone and Trey Parker have changed the name of the show South Park heading into their new season. It's going to be known as "South America" now and I can't stop laughing.

Agglomeration beyond London.
Devolution is working and Britain has many large agglomerations.

Really interesting read. My initial thought was 'how would you do that?' Really neat idea, albeit with perhaps a lack of reproducibility from other sites.

Maybe. But what does Google maps call England/London in France or Germany, or the Falklands when in Argentina? Clearly Trump is being a petty fool, but calling things what the state calls them when in that state doesn't seem 'loser' to me.

Shows how much the word 'fascist' has changed it's meaning in contemporary discourse. It really didn't used to mean prioritizing a war over state funded medical care.

SO YOU'VE WRITTEN A BIG REPORT and you want us to care about it. Please, if you are targetting journalists etc, do these few very simple things. - include a date - make it easy to navigate (no fancy animation stuff) - single column! - charts should link to data - contact info of relevant authors

Not intending to dump on Robin or John here, but this a great example of how today we are supposed to agree with (all of) the personal beliefs of artists we admire, or else we just can't appreciate them at all. Conservatives can't adopt Dolly, Liberals can't appreciate Waugh and so on. It's nuts.
