That is interesting! I'm susceptible to plant allergens and it was awful when I briefly lived in a ground floor flat in central London. Unhelpfully (but good overall for the environment) we have a huge number of trees in this city. The higher up I am the fresher the air seems (maybe obvious)

if only we knew what germans were building rockets in the 30s, this mystery would be solved

it was unusually dry this weekend. I think re: pollution it varies; high humidity can prevent pollution from escaping into the upper atmosphere, but low humidity can make it easier for dust and other pollutants to get into the air in the first place

some parts are much worse than others; I feel fine in and around Stratford but as soon as I go across London into Greenford I start coughing

(which is a verbose way of me saying "yes", but just by way of explanation)

More in Common has two polls which run in parallel, a conventional poll and an MRP.

They churn up similar figures on %s, but the MRP is kinder to Green seat totals, likely because their vote is more concentrated.

to modify this somewhat:

you are one of a secret organization of mages who understand the potential of future adventurers and help them to realize their abilities

you are sent to a small village to mess up the life of a local so much that they quit and take up adventuring

"we consulted my mate Gary who didn't know who Ye was so we assumed it would be fine"

haha I do this all the time and I'm definitely totally not autistic

I might try to do a survey capturing social media withdrawal motivators (probably not UK focused)

My dad's cat got hit by a car last week. He's going to be okay, and he wasn't permanently hurt, but he needed emergency care.

If you'd like to donate to help cover the vet bills, that would be very much appreciated.

If not, warm wishes are equally welcome ♥️

I have an RPG campaign coming up with some Big Cow People

Although Trump has performed well with Christians generally, his best performances have been with non-chruchgoing, non-denominational Christians.

tbf, he has a point. Cars are dangerous, horses are lovely

The Liberal Democrats used to be a member-led party.

tbf, a basic aesthetic sense should be sufficient for that

things i have learnt about the green party since i joined:

- didn't think i would need my philosophy degree but i do
- leafletting cult 2
- weirdly not sanctimonious at all, they eat meat and use cloud services

are we thinking market towns with normal geographical barriers, or would they struggle to take Dorking?

i wonder what the wallaby would think

While I'm broadly supportive of the conclusion here, I'm not sure about the premise. Extremism is notoriously fuzzy to define, and the various dictations of ministers in defining it - some of them with extremist connections themselves - shed very little light on the matter.

since Iraq the French have upgraded from "a few beds" to "a colour printer"

I should probably stay out of this, but I feel like Robert is being a bit proscriptive here. As a fellow fictional vampire I think we need to be aware of our own power and how that intersects with human needs
