I am deaf in one ear because I stood too close to the bass bin in a notorious London club. I have a hearing aid that helps a bit.

Katsuri Methi. An absolute essential for a decent curry. Also Hing aka Devil's Piss, if for no other reason than the name.
It's a small thing, but it avoids unnecessary repair bills. It felt good too!
But the babies need ventilators!
A couple of years ago, unless you include post-band night as a club. In that case, it would be a few months ago. I'm GenX, and clubbing was pretty big for us.

No, existing laws are still in place. It does mean that techbros will be able to steal your art, though as she was fired for not rubber stamping that.
Tell me about airplane cups!
I'm a bit surprised this is news - our work dos were always on Thursday. Better to be hung over on company time.
That's true, but this report specifically excludes London.
The right have devised and extremely effective strategy: spam the Internet with an absurd amount of hit pieces against the left (and liberal!) politicians. They monitor the reaction, and as soon as one takes hold, they push it - hard.
The left have a special talent for not showing up or wasting their vote on a no hope candidate. This strategy plays straight into that weakness.
Some examples: incubators for babies during the Brexit vote, being pro-Palestine during the 2019 UK election. Being anti-Palestine during the US election. Any reason to sit it out... and let facists win.
We need to wake up and realise that sitting it out is exactly what the nazis want. They don't expect you to vote for them. Just sitting it out is enough.
Yes, better left-wing candidates would be great - but that's on us. Getting rid of FPTP in the UK might help. Either way, we need to wake up to this strategy and start being smarter. Grass root campaigns to get better candidates, sure, but for fucks sake, turn out and vote!

Let’s Not Kill 450,000 Owls: It’s a testament to human arrogance and cruelty that this is even being considered.

World War 1 was in progress, though it wasn't called that yet. On the Western Front, Imperial Germany's invasion was underway and the French and British armies had been in retreat for almost a week. Among the engagements of this day was a skirmish near Néry, where a dismounted British cavalry division fought a dismounted German cavalry division. The outnumbered British forces prevailed, and three British soldiers were later awarded the prestigious Victoria Cross. The French and British forces continued to retreat, but they were doing so in an orderly manner, and in a few days they would be ready to counterattack in one of the most significant battles of the century.
Meanwhile, in rapidly-urbanizing America, Everett True was beginning to wonder if cars were a good idea after all.

To me as a European... I'm wondering if baseball is the national sport or American football?
