Interests palaeontology, art especially science and paleoart, science, medicine, history, sewing and beading. Most knowledgeable and least likely to engage in arguments about nutrition - what can I say, the pseudoscientific claptrap wears you down.
Not a single scrap of self insight among the lot of them.

It’s amusing seeing journalists who were so happy to have something do their work for them slowly realising that maybe they would like other people to continue to do the work they rely on to be accurate.

This is because it’s not for anthropologists - people interested in paleontology aren’t interested in humans. There’s plenty of documentaries about human history, but the whole lot is only a couple of hundred thousand years out of 3.5 billion years of history.

Every social media platform needs to introduce this feature. We need to see where people trying to influence public opinion in our politics and public health come from.

Near to sod all as usual. Unlike the massive real terms pay cut we’ve had to take so rich people don’t pay a little more tax.

We all did this as students and when we first graduated in the 80s, but the difference was that we all managed to buy little flats or terraced houses of our own by the time we were 25.

Did I say they hadn’t? And that 20% is disingenuous because it wasn’t in one year - everyone else should have had the cojones to strike like they did.
Just sick of whining about tiny tax rises by people that sat safely indoors during the pandemic, which they expect those who didn’t to pay for.
