Well, aye up and Cor Blimey and all that.

Just to remind a society is made up of the thousands, millions, of things we all do like this. This is true of every society, of any society and this is one little part of ours.

You know, not what we're told to do, not what we're paid to, but what we do.

London cabbies lined up on Westminster bridge ready to take veterans home, free of charge, from the Remembrance Sunday service in Whitehall. 👏👏👏

Holy Jeez! You mean a game deliberately created to show how unfettered capitalism is bad shows that unfettered capitalism is bad?

My beating heart, eh?

Anyone who doesn't understand the fundamental problem with capitalism clearly hasn't played Monopoly.

The game ends when one person owns everything and everyone else is bankrupt.

Somehow, we've built an entire economic system around this.

El Twatto about medals here. So Chuck, as a royal, retains military rank without being actively in the military. That's just the way it is done. Gets promoted at the right age as if he were still serving, etc. Therefore, because he's still "serving" he gets all the jubilee, coronation and long service medals.

Charles doesn't meet the criteria for any of the medals he wears. He wears them because he wants to look like an experienced senior officer and a man with a significant military record.

The Economics Of Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale Is Wholly Wrong, by @worstall timworstall.substack.com/p/the-economic… It just doesn't work. "The set up of the fertile being slaves doesn’t work. Simply because human society always does end up with those possessing the rarity ruling that society. Or, at least, gaining near all of the benefits of the society. To prevent this requires a cartel and there simply never is going to be a stable cartel of 4 billion males chasing poontang."

As I've noted before I've always known I'm unimportant. No one ever has tried to honeytrap me. Not even working in Moscow.

Years ago I randomly got invited to an FBI session on signs to watch out for in corporate espionage and part of it covered Chinese spy tactics (vs other countries). I was the only Asian woman in the room and I remember everyone glancing over at me when that topic was covered 😂
