The best lessons come from someone who’s absolutely seething at having to teach them, yet also firmly believes the world is better for people knowing the thing.

My friends, have you heard the good news about… Adrian Chiles
September 11, 2026 at 2:52 PM
Yeah I mostly agree but I kind of don’t want to risk disregarding the substance of it. Twenty-odd years ago I really looked up to Marina, and now…

I would be exhausted - ravaged - by the need to have opinions so constantly.

Yes, horrendous choice of PM aside momentarily, she sounded like someone who’d become very bored with the gig. Think it showed in her writing too. Time was her columns were on my “must read’ list, but must be at least a decade since.

It’s funny, I’m not really close with my parents these days (literally and metaphorically), but as soon as I see/speak to them, everything comes out. So I had to avoid speaking to them for a while because I was embarrassed and hoped it would be over quickly enough to keep it from them.

Thank you for this. Passive ideation has become a ‘normal’ part of being stressed for me, but recently felt less passive and scared the hell out of me. Speaking to my wife is thankfully easy but it took me a couple of weeks to tell my parents. It always feels like passing on a burden.

Fonda and Tomlin delivered the kind of gold I’d expect but I confess I’d not seen Dolly Parton acting before and I loved Doralee!

Watched it this afternoon, incredibly relatable for a film that is aesthetically extremely 1980!

This is cosplay. Well paid cosplay, but still.

Is this her dad? 😂

I know someone whose extremely anxious dad actively tracks the location of every family member. She’s 49 (and she’s the youngest).

Thanks again. The orientation/layout of our rooftop isn’t ideal, plus there’s the upfront cost, so plugin could be a decent interim measure for us, although I suspect I’ll hold off at least until there’s some kind of battery option.

Thanks. I wfh and am getting ac so am interested in the idea; want to do it properly/correctly but feels like it’s probably wise to wait a good while before taking the leap.

Is the restriction to one kit a matter of electrical safety or is it that the average house wouldn’t use the power generated by multiple kits?

In 1999 my year in catered halls cost about 110% of my student loan. From next month my nibling’s year in *un*catered halls will cost 250% of their student loan. They’ll have to do a two-hour each-way commute from home to complete the second and third years of their degree.
