I've been thinking recently about how there is so little empathy to others and compassion left in the world. We are in severe empathy decline and it causes statements like this to happen, classless and low.

All we can do is fight against this tide

On World AIDS Day, we remember all those we've lost to HIV/AIDS related illness and unite in our battle against the virus.

We’ve committed to zero new transmission of HIV in the capital by 2030. We’ll continue to work with partners to tackle the stigma of getting tested and treated.

The French always do the most French things
A French cyclist survived for three days after a horrendous 130-foot fall into a ravine, kept alive by the bottles of red wine he had in his shopping bag, police said.

“We don’t have to approach and criticize this album as art, because it isn’t art. The Life of a Showgirl is made of Shein quality rip-offs of other people’s songs that are constructed shoddily and sold in ginormous quantities. Art takes time and care. This is profit. It’s content.”

Anyone who belongs to any minority group needs to be aware that what is being done to trans people can and will be done to them. In a decade we have been stripped of our rights to exist in public spaces by a press campaign and a well funded lobby.

I loved Faithless for years and their headlining set at the Isle of Wight festival was just perfect ✌️, watching it on TV. It is so difficult to get the tone right and they honoured Maxi Jazz cleverly and also showed they can keep going. It was strangely emotional ❤️🎶

By far my favorite part of South Korean elections: election night graphics. SBS television station kills it EVERY. TIME. They play these clips all night and they get more and more unhinged and creative as the night goes on.
