in 1st century Judea, the corners of every field had to be left for the poor to pick crops for themselves, every seventh year *all* of the crops from fields and vineyards and orchards belonged to the poor, and all debts of all types were cancelled every 50th year.

Some excellent, compassionate and heartfelt writing here👇
I've written a big piece for the Observer about the Big C. Would be lovely if you find time to read it sometime and feel free to share.

As we shall be explaining this afternoon, Chester's Rows are unusual but not unique. There are hints of similar arrangements at Thun and Bern (CH) and Meersburg (DE) - a solution to the problems of building on sloping sites.

Farage has stated he doesn’t know Gill but “He’s as honest as the day is long” shows what a good judge of character Farage is, unless he knew better but decided to lie about his character?

Elon Musk is very explicitly altering the X algorithm to show people content that aligns with his far-right worldview.

If you're still posting there and think you can win hearts and minds or something, this is what you're up against. You're never going to win a rigged game.

If the UK government was really serious about online safety they would have banned Twitter/X instead of implementing the Online Safety Act. That would've removed a major source of extremist hate but preserved small website communities and forums that offer safe aid and advice.

Part 3 of my ongoing series about the incredible WW2 flight of the California Clipper is now up and free to read.

Imagine having to fly your aircraft on regular gasoline, which it has never used before.

Now imagine having to work out how to do that while you're flying over the vast Indian Ocean...
In 1941, Pan Am's California Clipper had to do something no commercial flight had done before: circumnavigate the world.

In Part 3 of our series looking at her journey, the crew must work out, mid-air, how to fly her on regular gasoline. Something her Wright Cyclone engines were never designed for.
Into the unknown: The remarkable journey of the California Clipper, Part 3
Unable to source military-grade aviation fuel, our crew are forced to cross the Indian Ocean using regular gasoline. Something no Boeing 314 has ever flown on before.

Gang. GANG. I regret to have to report that I'm a bit obsessed with the whole "Mar a Largo face" thing.
I mean, people can do whatever the fuck they want to themselves, but at the same time, this is a dystopian prestige TV show writing itself.
