The flooding in NC at the moment reminds me a lot of the flooding that happened in the Eifel region of German in 2021. Steep valleys and hills, not somewhere you expect floods, but the flooding killed 180 there. Climate change affects everyone.

Hard to improve on the final sentence of this passage in the Guardian about Badenoch’s position on maternity rights.

"47 minutes of high-pitched whining" sounds like a lot of speeches at the Tory party conference.

Prolapse have probably got a more credible trade policy than Robert Jenrick. The Telescopes generating 47 minutes of pure feedback would be an improvement on Kemi Badenoch talking about housing.

So the last 2 gigs I went to featured unfashionable indie bands followed by small audiences of mostly old white people who started following them in the 90s or earlier. This is what it must be like to go to the Conservative Party Conference.

My wife had something similar. Basically, a period with heavy bleeding for about 3 weeks out of every 4. Was constantly looking for where nearest toilet was, to be able to change. Got so bad she became anaemic. A hysterectomy transformed her life for the better. But still hot flushes at 62

Why the hell did no one warn me about perimenopausal periods? “I had assumed that when the time came my periods would just graciously bow out. That somewhere around 50, they would quietly wind themselves up & then exit my life in a calm and orderly manner” inews.co.uk/opinion/peri...

I went to a remote Scottish cabin with the extended family. While there I was checking out Grindr to catch up on some messages and saw there was another man on the app only 20m away. The only people less than 20m away were family. And all the men are married. As am I.

The "it's just one banana" meme from Arrested Development, but the text reads "It's just one au pair, Michael, how much could it cost?"
