If you went by what you see on TV you’d think the nation was gripped in a collective outpouring of grief and.. it isn’t! No spontaneous flower tributes, no black armbands. People are just getting on with their lives. The only public displays are by brands and businesses.
Look at the number of flowers in town today under the queen statue. They’ve optimistically set the barriers far back anticipating thousands. There’s about 15. There was no one there paying their respects either. Literally no one. The biggest queue was at a burger van nearby.
wildfire quite, quite close and getting bigger and bigger and closer and closer
evacuation alert for where we are, but not evacuation order just yet, and we’re gonna stay and do fire mitigation and prevention work until the order comes down or until we feel satisfied with the work done (or reach the time we were gonna leave anyway, end of Sept/beginning of Oct)

pretty sure my nasal passages, throat and lungs have like a quarter inch layer of soot caking them all, it’s a blast people, come inhale the beautiful wildfire smoke and get a charcoal enema but of the top holes! new health craze!!
Too many socialists erect strawman, suggesting that degrowth advocates argue that “the real class struggle is not between workers and capital but between geographical regions: North and South”; or put forward baseless claims like “degrowth would bring an end to progress itself that” or is “a prescription for mass death for most of humanity”.
On the more sympathetic end of the degrowth critical spectrum, we hear arguments like we need “both degrowth and growth of different sectors of the productive forces”. But, this is already what many degrowth advocates argue.
We need degrowth in industries ranging from armaments and advertising to fast fashion and fossil fuels, together with a dramatic reduction in consumption of the richest 1% who are responsible for 15% of emissions. We need growth in public services like healthcare, education, public transport, renewable energy, childcare, etc. (the list could go on), particularly in developing countries.
In our view, though, this response sidesteps the bigger question degrowth is seeking to address: does humanity need to reduce energy consumption and material throughput overall?
We answer unambiguously - yes.

Their names were Nerissa and Katherine Bowes-Lyon. They were kept in the Royal Earlswood Hospital, formerly known as "The Asylum for Idiots". Burke's Peerage listed them both as deceased in the 1940s but Nerissa died in 1996 and Katherine died in 2014.
The hospital had no record of any visit from the family during the time the sisters were there, and they never received a birthday or Christmas card. They also received no money beyond the £125 paid to the hospital per year.
Nerissa Bowes-Lyon was buried in a pauper's grave with a plastic marker and a serial number:
The family didn't even buy her a headstone until a Channel 4 documentary highlighted the sisters' story and showed the grave. None of her family had attended her funeral.
The Queen was reported to be "hugely distressed" by the airing of the documentary.
Declaration of God Save the King met with boos in Edinburgh.

This is who the queen was. Her death deserves to be celebrated.
Newly released video from 1933 shows Nazi-sympathiser and later British King Edward VIII having fun giving Nazi salutes together with the current British Queen Elizabeth II and the queen mother. Edward once gave a Nazi salute to Hitler himself and claimed he was “not a bad chap”. Gotta love royalty. [article]
