I think they should be running this story. This isn’t intentional but it is a technical glitch that could likely have been avoided if they used a more representative dataset. No racist person set this in motion but it is likely the result of institutional racism where a bunch of people who aren’t black just haven’t…

Thanks for your really lovely and thoughtful response. I’m white and I think about this a lot, my Dad has always said to his kids “we’re all racist” and for a long time I didn’t want to think of myself that way but I’ve come to realise it’s impossible to not be not racist all the time when the society you live in has…

My name is Amanda Boyd. This has been a weird and interesting day.

All my favourite things in one. I love you.

Saw them in Melbourne, totally agree. Although doesn’t really compare to that time, back in ‘85, when I was 11 and my mum took me to my first rock concert and I saw Freddie LIVE six rows from the front. Ruined live shows for me forever.

I wish to sign this under each of my aliases. And my real name too.

oh really? how interesting

You might remember Mariah Carey’s new beau from such street brawls as this:

Those things are everyday, commercial items, not someone else’s art. There’s a big difference.

I agree totally, I’m in Australia and have no idea who a lot of the panellists are, but I’m constantly amazed at the calibre of the what’s my job guests. It’s a great segment, lots of fun.

Agreed. I would never ask anyone straight up “are you black?” Ever. But I also live in a country now peopled mainly with immigrants (Australia, and I’m as Irish white as the driven snow) and I’m a nosey little fucker with an interest in how people (collectively) move/d around the globe. I wouldn’t ask someone straight…

It’s kind of true. The leaves are very oily so forest fires can get very intense (heat-wise) and the flames can spread very quickly through the crowns of the trees. They don’t spontaneously combust but the wind can carry embers far ahead of the actual fire front and if it lands in a canopy, up it goes.

What all the other Aussies have said, plus:

A two month old doesn’t need their biological mother’s breast milk to survive.

Absolutely agree, one of the best cop dramas I've seen, and the Yorkshire landscape is breathtaking. Brilliant characters and actors. Some utterly heart breaking moments.

There’s a lot of discussion going on here, which is fine and good and all, but seems to me to be slightly off topic. NURSING infants are different to other children. The world would be a better place for women if it did a bit of adapting to women with children who are breastfeeding. Mostly breast feeding kids aren’t…

My team at work literally downed tools for about twenty minutes today to try this. Imdont eat choc so no idea.

Oh yeah totally. A committee. This could only have been created by a committee.

Makes sense. Ibuprofen is an anti inflammatory and what is a sinus headache but inflamed brain and forehead bones (speaking from personal experience, I encourage you to get those things chiseled, I have had some improvement).

I agree with Raven.
