I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Indeed there are men who have kept their peerages despite being convicted criminals - hello Jeffrey Archer, Nazir Ahmed and innumerable others. That we have a system where being convicted of any crime does not immediately strip them of titles is extraordinary. Wealth protects wealthy criminals.

It must take an extraordinary feat of mental gymnastics for those who think of themselves as good people, let alone governments and businesses, to maintain a presence there. By buying into the product, they've tacitly bought into all of this.

A quick google informs me that after this surge, Australia provides about 4% of our beef imports, and our beef imports are about 25% of our consumption. So this headline is basically saying “anger as 0.6% becomes 1% of total” and I’m not sure that’s particularly justifiable

Big fan of the accidental poetry of Prime's subtitles mistakes. This line was actually 'This is Silas; he's a new hire', but the subtitles wrote a much better, more mysterious version.

There is probably plenty going on inside Bill Gates' head, but I reckon one of the most parsimonious explanations of why he's sagely pronouncing that climate groups need to stop worrying about short-term emissions targets can be found in the sustainability reports of the company he founded.
