One of my favourite things about As It Happens is hearing Nil Köksal chuckling to Chris Howden's jokes during the intro.

I think a lot of "smart people" and "investors" greatly miscalculated regular folks.
sure, we like gadgets and stuff... but just walking around, being a person, and interacting with the world around us is pretty great 🤷🏻♂️

Still sorting out my heat pumps. Making some progress, but my basement is quite chilly, and so are the floors on the first floor.

Whenever my 6yo undresses, she throws her clothing all over her room. I've found clothes in her toy bins, hanging from the door, even in the hall. It's as if she was raptured by a stick of dynamite.

Q: Are you implying that these influencers take the vulnerability of young men to make money for themselves?
GILMORE: Absolutely. All of this is a grift... There is a lot of money that you can make in telling people that you have all the answers.

So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

My friend is a high school English teacher. She says they don't do class novels anymore, that they mostly just do book clubs where students read their own thing. She said it was because students never read the class book. She said they don't have the attention span, don't know how stories work.

Five day work weeks are dumb when both adults work out of the house. How are you supposed to be an attentive parent while also keeping up a home, all in two days? Utter bullshit.

A very important thread. When I was probably no more than 10, I saw this picture of the woman known as Harlow in the Philly Inquirer. A little babygay, I was shocked that such a glamour queen could live in my hometown and even more shocked to see her described as "a former man."
