I just finished a graduate diploma in law at City University. In the last three weeks I’ve done seven 24-hour exams, in each of which I wrote 4,500 words of legal analysis. I finished each exam a few hours early to go to work, so it came to 31,500 words in less than six days.

If an issue you have with the Tories is that they are callous & lack empathy, now probably isn't the time to exhibit those exact qualities.

The neighbours just put the house up for sale. Couldn't resist checking it out on Zoopla. That's our bloody cat.

I've had family die, dear friends completely debilitated for months or permenantly disabled, & I have seriously ill loved ones unable to access proper care who have become significantly more unwell as a result, so yeah good for you Allison, glad it's passed you by.

I’ve asked so many people if they know anyone who has had Covid. Hardly anyone. Two people knew someone (not close) who’d died. Without daily news would we even know there was an epidemic?

If the police presence was in the name of safety why on earth does it look like this.

*So* many articles about Olivia Newton-John's death describe her "battle" with cancer. One of the defining characteristics of her approach to her illness was her rejection of the "battle" narrative — which she was extremely public about. The RIP article churn is so impersonal.

Staggering work by @clarissaward covering the beatings, whippings & gunfire people must negotiate in order to get to Kabul airport. Keeps cool, keeps asking questions, even as Taliban fighters challenge her team and ask her to cover her face.

Does Elon Musk really not understand what "free speech" means, or is it all just gas? Either way, a much cleverer man than Donald Trump is now exploiting very similar weaknesses in systems that are not set up to protect the public.

Since when is Laurance Fox's sex drive the barometer for valid commentary? Everything about this — the weirdly sexual, misogynist language, the lack of engagement with any actual debate, the hyperfocus on Ava's appearance, Dan's giggles in response — is fucking tragic.

When I was 11, all the girls in my class were ushered into a room to learn about periods. The boys were kept separate, & presumably told to apply Lynx Africa every 15 minutes while they were awake for the next 7 years. Wrote about why this must change:

A recent exchange between an elite golfer and a sports journalist, during which she disclosed she was menstruating, felt like it belonged deep in the last century, writes Holly Thomas. But until...

Delighted by the Italians singing out of their balconies, will be absolutely livid if I am kept awake of a night because my neighbours decide now's the time for a team rendition of "don't look back in anger"

It wasn't even the Met that got him: "Some of the offences took place in London, but most were in Hertfordshire and it was that local force whose investigation led to Carrick’s convictions."
