Just thinking of all the things that have occurred over the last few weeks – the speech given by Mark Carney, the free trade agreement between the EU and India, murmurs regarding China wanting to position itself as the reserve currency and all the discussion regarding the latest tranche of Epstein related documents that were…

This could be a TED talk in its own right but it is amazing the number of influencers who convince themselves that they need to create a narrative around the idea of the audience demanding they say or do something. No one is asking you for anything, stop trying to make out that you have…

I was watching a video on YouTube about ‘choice feminism’ and it reminds me of discussions regarding cultural norms that for many are treated as if they were something that are permanent – they always have and they always will exist.

Finished work tonight and I was keeping my eye on the weather the whole day and it was just my luck that the weather all fined up tonight so that I was able to go for my nightly walk. I’m in a calorie deficit so the body has to work harder to access that stored…
