Laying dreams for other to follow. Telling stories that transform as well as transport. You can scoff at Star Trek, but it has not only kept a lot of folk in work, it's brought the permissive space of imagining better to generations. Not bad for a 60-year-old IP. #StarTrek60th

SUVs are higher at the front and three times more likely to kill a child when they hit them. SUV drivers drag the child under their vehicle, and then they crush the child to death. It's incredible that SUVs don't have higher tax, and why not lower speed limits. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Watching an old Place In The Sun. A property developer with a million quid to spend - the voiceover keeps banging on about the fact the couple are “workaholics”. How come it’s always entrepreneurs who are called “workaholics”, and not someone holding down three minimum wage jobs.
