S. Chandrasekhar drove 80 miles twice a week from Yerkes Observatory to U of Chicago to teach a class that had only two students. When asked why, he said they were very good students. They were Lee and Yang, who won Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957.

The real misery is that if you already know this you're likely to be OK. It's those who think they're kind, caring & generous who are lethal when the ppl they use refuse to be grateful or cured enough.

Two women came into the cafe for breakfast & treated the two unhappy kids they were with, about 9 and 5, like shit. The kids, who were very obviously not related to the women, couldn't do anything right. The older women nearly hit the 9yo girl whose profound sadness was palpable.

If you want to 'help people' go to therapy.

Don't use vulnerable people to try and satisfy your need. It's insatiable because it's not what you need.

The abuse in all those places where really vulnerable people are kept is perpetrated by 'kind people who want to help.'

@LidsBass @AdrianEdmondson They’re imagining what ppl would do if they were rested and had time to think.

@Olas_Truth @laurenancona Class is almost entirely performative. Huge numbers of genuinely financially stable ppl describe themselves as working class because their great grandmother was a seamstress or something. As you say, class is now mostly defined by how rich your family is.

Thatcherite bewails Thatcherism.

History is so easily re-written.

[Peter Oborne @OborneTweets]

Today is a landmark moment. It marks the end of the experiment with neoliberalism that has driven Britain ever since Thatcher’s election victory in 1979. My new article for Middle East Eye:

My elderly neighbour & I exchange food at the weekends. Yesterday she gave me a vast lump of cooking bacon and told me to make a jerk marinade for it. There are 1001 jerk recipes & if I don't use hers it won't be right for her. She won't tell me her recipe.

@NoisyMV Pub geniuses are everywhere, boring the life out of anyone who comes within 10 feet of them. We're not obliged to vote them into power.

@PeteApps From the same script as 'Immigrants taking our jobs, living off benefits.'

“The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly – it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over.”

[Melissa Apis @MelissaApis1]

@robfcarver @NoisyMV Who will be shamed? It won't be the people we've voted into and kept in power.

Came across a short thriller with a stellar cast.

5 seconds to read "Woman locked in cellar."

Is it possible to lock/chain/torment a man in a cellar/pit/box? The suffering of women is endlessly entertaining.

@danaparish @BarryHunt008 Interesting.

[Melissa Apis @MelissaApis1]

@UK_Counsellors That’s it. Then a little carb to stabilise it and some cheese for ballast. Ageing is dull.

[Melissa Apis @MelissaApis1]

Oh sod this.
A chocolate biscuit then two water biscuits and a bit of cheese become medicine after a sushi crash.

[Melissa Apis @MelissaApis1]

@UK_Counsellors The rise is the sushi rice, which is so processed it’s pure carb. The crash is insulin going WTF!

I’ve been cold all day & suddenly in bed I realised I was sweating. Wobbled out for sugar, carbs and fat & am improving.
