Happy Michaelmas! In some parts of Ireland on this day, rent could be paid in geese. If you’re due to pay rent this month, please consider setting a very irritated goose on your landlord in lieu of payment, in the name of upholding important Irish traditions.
A drawing of mine of a goose looking concerned, with a tag around its neck that reads "This month's rent, with thanks".

Lisa Nandy's alive, everyone! I know you've been worried.
Snip from the BBC's live reporting on the Manchester City charges. 
Lisa Nandy, the Culture, Media and Sport secretary, has been speaking to the BBC News Channel.

"It’s incredibly serious, the Premier League report is incredibly stark," she said.

"Manchester City have the right to appeal. This is causing a lot of concern for City fans and all fans of Premier League football."

You can watch reaction on the BBC News Channel live at the top of this page now.

My fourth consecutive bedtime reading a book called Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site and I think I'm just about ready to come out against child literacy. I'm going to become the reverse Dolly Parton and devote my fortune to taking books away from children.

But I don't know anything about tapes or digitisation or anything like that. I don't even know how I would play this. I don't even know if it's still in good enough condition to play. So my question is... How? How do I take these two tapes, this two part performance, and make the choir live again?

Chat, is killing or severely injuring 1% of your population, approximately 6% of your 18-45 population, bad or not? I'm not an expert, but it seems bad, and it seems like the sort of "bad" that has knock-on effects for generations.

I broadly agree but I’m genuinely not taking the piss - this is reverse racism and the bigotry of low expectations against white people, who Shabana Mahmood thinks are deeply bigoted and liable to lose control of their senses and descend into base violence if people try to explain things to them

will say it again: the most effective way to curb far right agitators like Lowe, "Tommo" et. al. would be to stop their ability to earn money for it from social media or live streaming. So much of it is grifting for revenue, not attention.
