As I have noted before, almost half of everyone ever born died in childhood. There are people alive today who were already alive when this stopped being true for everyone born in the future.
All of pre-20th-century history is an emotional foreign country, for this reason alone.

Currently dorking out over this graph about child mortality with my brother. Just mind boggling to take in.

Something similar happened in Bolton in 2022. Councillor David Grant has been on the case. He’s posted an advice sheet written by the Sheffield residents. They stress that it’s not legal advice but it’s a fascinating and enraging read. www.facebook.com/100064191813...

oh fuck this is actually true
It's even worse than that - Truss had something she was trying to do, a vision of how the country could be different.
Admittedly it was batshit, but at least she believed in it. Keir Starmer barely seems to believe he's PM.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Apart from anything else, "Abigail Spanberger" is a great name. If you're lucky enough to have a surname that's a dactyl and you don't give your children a first name that's also a dactyl you're wasting everybody's time.
Hats off in particular to Mr & Mrs Roosevelt for coming up with "Franklin D".
