Very grateful to a @TheRestHistory club member for sending us this clarification about which members of a particular family did and did not survive the Titanic - an even more remarkable story than we had realised

Water companies have dumped BILLIONS OF LITRES of raw sewage into our rivers and seas. Banning their bonuses isn’t enough. Tell political leaders: fine them in shares, then renationalise water companies who don’t clean up their act. 38d.gs/eg31

An integrated offshore grid is not 'nonsensical' and we do, obviously realise, that there will need to be landing points. However, those need to be:
1. Close to demand (London)
2. Brownfield
3. Fewer (as is the result of an offshore grid.

I just signed the petition demanding Liz Truss is denied a resignation honours list. 49 days in office should not justify her getting to promote her friends to a lifetime seat in the Lords. The very idea!!

Hard to think of a translation that captures the Arabic soundscape more fully — the rhymed prose, the poetry. My review in the @NewYorker of @yasmineseale ‘s exceptional new translation of Arabian Nights. newyorker.com/books/page-tur…

I know it’s a complex history but (clickbaity headline aside) in this short article composed mainly of quotes there are 6 errors of fact. Lots of woolly writing on the Nights around, so just to be precise… theguardian.com/books/2021/d…
