Now, more than ever, gotham girl could use your support. Hello, Lovelies, So, I’m watching True Detective: Night Country, and I won’t lie, I’m ready for it to make more sense and pick up the pace. Still, there’s a great deal here… indigenous mysticism, missing women, an eco-thriller, the limits of the human grotesque, and echoes of deep grief.

Solstice closing over Lowe’s, pink slashes fanning out from the center. I bought my dad a clock. Everything looks like a gem to a jeweler. Though that may very well turn out to be a correct perception on our part. Imagine wind gripping the moon. You can’t. When a fact is felt in the stomach, breathe into the floor of that fact. If it’s the bad kind of butterflies, so be it.

For a long time, I’ve been interested in people’s moral judgments — particularly in the ways those judgments can go haywire, be incoherent, lead to shaming or worse, and so on. That’s what first got me into Jonathan Haidt via The Righteous Mind, which got me into a lot of other social psychology, which arguably got me, well, here.

You’ll also recognise Miles from The Traitors S2, where he murdered his way through the Scottish castle – fizzy rosé, anyone? I first met Miles years ago when we shot for Mixed Race Faces together (you can read Miles’ story here) and bonded over our shared Brummie roots.

I remember looking at a map of the Singapore MRT as a kid and wondering what the strange carbon copy lines in the northeast of the city state were. When I eventually realized they were automated people movers, I was well into my “transit phase”, and the decision seemed incredibly silly. Low-capacity transit service can easily be provided by buses or light rail, so why would you ever build an airport people mover for what is essentially a local transit problem?

Share Beyond Basics: The Garden Basics with Farmer Fred Newsletter In today’s Newsletter podcast, we revisit some advice given to us by America’s Favorite Retired College Horticulture Professor, Debbie Flower, on how to get your pepper seeds to germinate more quickly, which can take up to three weeks before you see green leaves popping up above the soil surface. We were talking to the Elk Grove Garden Club last month, a wide-ranging conversation, which included how to tell if those old vegetable or flower seeds you have tucked away in a drawer will germinate or not.
