You have to play by the rules though. If you don’t like sauerkraut, you go hungry cause there isn’t anything else.

Perhaps I’ll write a cookbook that reflects my own trajectory from the poorest demographic to the comfortable media middle classes via food. For example: always have a large jar of sauerkraut in your fridge.

My favourite thing in the world is when the economy is bad, middle class people get classic poor people problems but still refuse to listen to the ways poor people have managed said problems, oh, forever. Today: is it more expensive to cook from scratch? If only someone had looked into this before!

If you’re going to say “namely” you do in fact have to name things

Are French high school buildings dilapidated and rat-infested with collapsing ceilings?
Some are, namely in certain cities and low-income suburbs. Videos filmed by students and teachers have shown leaks, scurrying rats, holes in walls and ceilings, broken toilets and not enough chairs or tables, meaning teachers have to carry them from classroom to classroom. Some children said they had to learn in class while leaks were pouring into buckets, or move desks to avoid getting wet.
Many school classrooms experienced temperatures over 35C (95F) in the heatwaves oflast May and June.

I cannot possibly confirm who it was who hitchhiked with some spare tachograph discs 😇 Not that he was ever a trucker to my knowledge

Tracy King @tracyking.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I do like this theory, but I have a very old vague memory of the person giving the disc to the driver. But one cannot in any way rely on a childhood memory, happy to wrong about that.

Tracy King @tracyking.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Who is paying them though? Presumably their regular employer would notice they’d submitted more tacho hours than allowed?

Tracy King @tracyking.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Long shot but anyone know how analogue tachograph fraud worked? Someone I knew in the 80s used to hitchhike holding out blank tachographs and I want to know how that all worked. I know how tachographs worked but not why a blank one was hitchhiking currency.

Upon graduating medical school in 1881, Arthur Conan Doyle did a doodle of himself waving his diploma over his head. The caption reads: "Licensed to Kill." My new book SLEUTH-HOUND is about Conan Doyle's professor, Joseph Bell - the real-life Sherlock Holmes. Out Oct 20! linktr.ee/drlindseyfit...
