Set up a spreadsheet to pick a random Simpsons episode from seasons 2-10 and the first one was S09E12 "All Singing, All Dancing" - a clip show of some of the musical numbers. Not a great start 😂.
It did at least include "See My Vest", "The Monorail Song" and "We Do (The Stonecutters' Song). 4/10.

I'm not sure how you would measure it, but if you could the cumulative insulative power (CIP) of all the down jackets in Alexandra Palace for the Four Tet gig last night would be off whatever scale you chose.

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas & city center in 2021.”
Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death

It's a losing battle, but I really want people to stop using the term "cabal" to describe Epstein's circle
The whole matter is already so tricky when it comes to antisemitism that adding an antisemitic term to your critique doesn't really help matters
But whatever, no one cares

I want to keep following Al Jazeera on Instagram to get a wider view on world news but I swear 80% of that world news is apparently autoplay videos of fatal aviation accidents.
