Something I find striking about Zach Polanski is how - unlike the vast majority of those who played a key role in Corbynism - his politics are so clearly not rooted in any kind of deeper analysis or intellectual tradition. It's all just a surface-level synthesis of 2010s left-wing slogans and memes.

As ancient humans left Africa, they encountered many harsh environments including the Sahara and the high Arctic, but one of the last places they inhabited was Britain, likely due to the relentless cold and damp climate.

This detail amused me because I had an English teacher who told us that if you shove an opened wine bottle up your arse neck first, you have to break the bottom of it to pull it out, or it forms a vacuum and yanks your guts out with it. But this was public school in the 1980s, so…

A teacher has been struck off after she allegedly told pupils about the dangers of sex toys and rectal bleeding during a lesson on Charles Dicken's classic A Christmas Carol.

Rolex subreddit post:

My uncle has Alzheimer's and is often forgetful of his possessions. One of them is a Rolex Submariner. Would I be justified in taking and caring for it as my own instead of having it left neglected and forgotten in his jewelry box? Thanks.
