  • 'Directly implicates Trump': DOJ releases — then pulls — 'bombshell' Epstein letter online

  • It's the suicide reference that caught my attention too. Perhaps he was given no alternative.

  • Last-minute Xmas Gift Ideas for me (very poor) to get my aunt+family (very well off) who have been helping me out during a very rough time?

    Jump

  • Any sort of festive food: for example, chocolate, mince pies, etc. Lindor truffles are nice and a small box is affordable, or perhaps some Guylian chocolate seashells. If you know she's into something specific (a posh marmalade or jam, for example) you could go with that instead. It demonstrates you chose something whilst thinking of them.

    Such gifts are relatively affordable, easy to share and almost always appreciated.

  • Tucker Carlson named ‘Antisemite of the Year’ for opposing Israel’s genocide in Gaza, beating out Ms Rachel

    Jump

  • Never in a million years did I think I'd have anything positive to say about Tucker Carlson. But here we are.

  • Some holiday traditions get... selected out.

    Jump

  • Quite! We check the water in our tree base daily, just for the peace of mind of knowing we don't have a 7-foot firelighter in the house.

  • We have a video of my wife's mum and dad lighting the candles on the Christmas tree in 1962. It was apparently very common well into the '60s.

  • "Everyone" is a very, very high bar.

    When do parents stop seeing their kids as children?

    Jump

  • I'd suggest it'll only end either when you want it to, or possibly when you move out into your own place. Whenever he stays with us at Christmas, we will still fill a stocking with small gifts for our son who's nearly 30. It's not that we don't see him as an adult; it's simply a way to remember tradition and show love.

  • DARK every time. Currently on my 9th re-watch and still haven't found anything better.

  • Reddit lets you hide your post history yet Google search shows it all.(+ Extra methods to reveal users posts and comments)

    Jump

  • I've just checked. Even if you've deleted your profile on Reddit, the search still identifies your posts. I don't really care as I've left the platform but I was mildly surprised.

  • Older people (30+) online, what would you advise younger generations in regards to life?

  • After 60+ years I don't offer generic unsolicited advice any more (I learned that lesson) but if I were going to break that rule, I'd suggest you read books. Actually read them too, don't rely on audio books, and read as widely as you can. Sci-fi, mystery, romance, historical, non-fiction, just try to read a book a month. To lose yourself in a book is one of the great ways to maintain mental health.

    Also, don't offer unsolicited advice.

  • I'm voting for Julian May (yes, she was female). Her best series of books were the Saga of Pliocene Exile and the Galactic Milieu trilogy (in 4 parts).

  • Why have so many people stopped posting on social media?

    Jump

  • I'm in my 60s. Posting on social media mostly isn't fun any more, and I don't really want to put more money in the hands of billionnaire fascists. So Facebook, Reddit and Twitter are gone (I've had to keep Messenger as I have friends who only communicate using that platform) and I've never bothered with TikTok, Instagram or Snapchat anyway. This platform and Bluesky are the only ones left and I'm mostly a lurker anyway.

  • The Wheel of Time's Rosamund Pike wishes the show could be saved, but believes "we have to accept that it's over”

    Jump

  • I'd definitely recommend it. The series is really 4 books that split the story into 2 parts: The Many Coloured Land and The Golden Torc comprise Part 1, and then Part 2 leads towards an amazing finale with The Nonborn King and The Adversary.

    If you want more books from that universe, there's a link book (Intervention) that joins the Saga of Pliocene Exile to the Galactic Milieu Trilogy, comprising Jack The Bodiless, Diamond Mask and Magnificat.

    Jump

  • I heard a rumour that the choice of show was between Wheel Of Time and Julian May's Saga Of Pliocene Exile (my favourite sci-fi / fantasy series). At the time I was gutted we missed out but, seeing what Amazon did with WOT, I think we dodged a bullet.

    I'll try to upload a photo by Nick Dudman who was commissioned to make some artwork for the proposed SPE show (Felice at the Ship's grave).

  • What are some gross or disgusting facts about the human body that people aren't aware of?
