Like Matthew Goodwin I've been doing some modelling and MY projections say that Britain will be majority non-white by 2149. Notes: I define 'white' as "carbonara is your favourite pasta sauce" and adjust for Tyranid Hive Fleet Leviathan stripping planet earth to a lifeless husk in 2137.

It reminds me of an old Bette Midler joke, where she's in a lift with her boyfriend and he asks if she just farted. To which she responds: "Of course I farted! Do you think I always smell like this?"

I always find it bizarre that the people angriest about Brexit are the people who won. They got a pretty good result given the relatively narrow outcome of the vote.

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for nine days. What the HELL? 1/

FUN FACT: Since 2019, Nigel Farage's Reform has taken more than £2.3 MILLION from oil and gas interests - making up an astonishing 92% of the party's donations. Reform are NOT for ordinary people. They're in the pockets of the big oil lobby.

'MASSACRE IN THE CLOUDS' was published exactly a year ago. More people were killed at Bud Dajo in 1906 than at Wounded Knee and My Lai combined - and yet this key moment along the blood meridian that runs through American history has been almost entirely forgotten.

I'm weary of toilet obsession. Women need single-sex refuges, hostels, hospital wards, rape crisis centres, prisons, shelters, care for safety, dignity and privacy and all women shortlists, political organisations, sports for equality. It's simple. www-bbc-co-uk.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.bbc....

Shad Home Sec Philp worries that agreeing high food standards with the EU will compromise our ability to negotiate lower food standards with the US, even though he would never want lower food standards. Except for word salad, which seems to be liberally imported from the US. ~AA

The average life expectancy in the U.S. has increased by 10 years since 1960 due to vaccines, and better disease prevention, diagnosis, and management. This increased lifespan would quite obviously carry with it a higher rate of chronic disease diagnosis. But RFK Jr. thinks it’s seed oils.

Gélineau advanced the term "narcolepsy" in 1880 while de la Tourette described his eponymous syndrome in 1885. "Autism" was coined by Bleuler in 1911, with full diagnoses soon after. But what do I know? I'm not the Cabinet secretary in charge of the goddamn Department of Health and Human Services.

A while ago a lovely German man appeared at our church. He came a few times to look around during our Saturday opening hours, before asking if the piano abandoned in the corner worked. I told him it was horrendously out of tune, and the cathedral piano tuner had deemed it not worth sorting out.
