My grandfather used to say “and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel” and I never knew what it meant until after he died my grandmother explained some magazine did a fluff interview with Magda Goebbels a few years before WW2 that included her strudel recipe and my grandfather, who hated the Nazis with the passion of 10,000 suns, thought it was an example of the media sanitizing evil people and he would use the phrase when someone asked him to overlook a bad person doing bad things and focus on the good.

THIS DAY in 1954, Alan Turing took his own life.

Created the first Electronic Computer.

Ukraine exists not because of phone calls but because we stepped up and paid the highest price.

Three years ago many said we wouldn’t last. We didn’t just survive—we grew stronger.

And we’re not done surprising the world.

"Boris Johnson said that investigating child sexual abuse was money spaffed up a wall"

"There you go. There's two different views on how child sexual abuse should be dealt with"
