“Today, the man wearing red got on the subway, he opened his folder and started reading. 🧐
A few stops later a man got on and asked him “what are you studying for? You look confused, maybe I can help?”
He said my son just failed a math test, and I am re-studying fractions so I can teach him. I am 42 years old and I don’t remember any of this, so I am reteaching myself.
The guy in the black informed him that he use to be a math teacher, and would help quiz him.
Everything the man in the red got wrong, it was broken down and corrected for him.
By the end of the train ride, the man had a better understanding.
He had a new method to go home with to teach his son.
It’s the little things like this that I love seeing, because most people could care less about what the person next to them is going through.

A Trump supporter was seated next to an older woman on an airplane and he turned to her and said, “Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.”
The old woman, who had just started to read her book, replied to the total stranger:
“What would you want to talk about?”
“Oh, I don’t know,” said the man. “How about how they stole the election in 2020 and Donald Trump should be president.”
“Okay,” she said. “Those could be interesting topics but let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff – grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?”
The man, visibly surprised by the old woman’s, thinks about it and says, “Hmmm, I have no idea.”
To which the old woman replies, “Do you really feel qualified to discuss politics, when you don’t know shit?”
Sorry, I think you missed out "Thanks to the hard-working nurses, doctors, ODPs, admin, cleaning and other theatre staff & recovery team who made this happen." (You could have also mentioned that 100,000 operations represents 1.3% of the waiting list.)
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt interviewed on ITV's Martin Lewis Money Show last night. Viewers praised his empathic understanding of the economic pressures facing the public, with many saying they trusted him with the nation's finances. Jeremy Hunt however proved less popular
This is a joy to watch. Ian Hislop, full-throttle, absolutely shredding Jake Berry on Peston. Hislop doesn’t give an inch and talks at Berry the way Tory MPs hate and just can’t cope with (“You can’t just talk nonsense and not be interrupted!”). Superb. https://t.co/z8SRv4a0ht
After the effect of 'Mr Bates vs the Post Office', let’s hope Toby Jones is also working on new TV dramas about water pollution, climate change, covid, PPE contracts, the refugee crisis, the cost of living, energy prices, and the NHS
