making my work look beautiful

The plumber who did work in my kitchen made a fantastic job of the under-sink pipework. Everything curved and lined up just so, little screw valves instead of clunky taps, it’s lovely. It’s hidden away behind cleaning products, but I know it’s there and it makes me smile. Thank you to tradespeople who enjoy their work!

A decent time in Saturday’s race. Not a medal of anything, just nothing too embarrassing.

You mentioned the missing persons reports being mainly children… maybe you’d get more traction from Operation Hydrant, which took over the Yewtree investigations.

Or maybe cook up a story about some old king being buried there.

Brilliant. Boost was my favourite app for the other place, it’ll be great to have it back for the fediverse.

That’s really interesting! I once ate yak goulash in Bhutan - it was delicious.

Novelty is key here. Novelty + Titanic + billionaires + hubris equals an unbeatable level of novelty in any news cycle. Tragically, immigrants drowning is no longer novel. Speaking of novel, I highly recommend The Beekeeper of Aleppo for anyone wanting an insight into why people cram onto these little boats and set sail. Warning: it is harrowing. Also, a shoutout to the RNLI, whose volunteers carry on saving lives at sea in the face of criticism. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-65893789
