Britons’ lives among least fulfilling, world study shows
The Times | 4/30/25 | Rhys Blakely

A study of whether the inhabitants of different countries are “flourishing” has put the UK close to the bottom of the world rankings. The research surveyed more than 200,000 people on six continents.

They were asked questions designed to gauge not just

happiness and

physical health, but their

sense of purpose,

the quality of their relationships, and their

financial stability.

Hmmm….

I may have a problem: my rankings (on a scale of 1 to 10) would be

Promoted Comment: As Sung By Ochi Bunker

Hats off to BobB:

Boy, the way that Trotsky played
Kulaks made the hit parade
Oligarchs, they had it made
Those were the days

Couldn’t trust no welfare state
Ev’rybody lost some weight
Gee, wasn’t old Stalin great?
Those were the days

And you knew who you were then
Girls turned on girls and men on men
Mister we could use a man like Lavrenty Beria again

People couldn’t be content
Wonder where your family went?
Gulags, where dissidents are sent
Those were the days

Ten times better than anything Weird A.I. Yankovich could come up with.

In the exciting pre-title sequence of Goldfinger, Bond foils the plots of a heroin baron and blows up his operations with plastic explosives.

Bond sees the reflection in Bonita’s eyes, and she gets knocked on the head while the henchman is electrocuted in the bath. “Shocking. Positively shocking” Bond remarks before leaving the room.

Euronews | 29/04/2025 | David Mouriquand

… The costs of the repair and who will be footing the bill remain unknown.

The Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen has previously asked visitors to cover repair costs following damage to artworks. In 2011, a tourist who accidentally stepped on “Pindakaasvloer” (“Peanut Butter Floor”), a conceptual piece by Dutch artist Wim T. Schippers, was asked to pay for restoration.

Bernie Sanders: Democrats Lack ‘Vision for the Future’
Breitbart | 27 Apr 2025 | Pam Key

… (NBC’s Meet The Press) Host Kristen Welker said, “Let’s talk about what you have called your oligarchy, and Alexandria Ocasio Cortez have been crisscrossing the country warning of an oligarchy. Senator, you told the New York Times, ‘One of the aspects of this is to get people to get engaged in the political process and run as independents outside of the Democratic Party.’ As someone who twice ran in the Democratic presidential primary are you trying to strengthen the Democratic Party or Senator, are you trying to start a third party?” […]

… (Sanders) continued, “What Democrats lack right now is a vision for the future. How are we going to provide a decent standard of living for a younger generation where everything being equal will be poorer than their parents? How do we repair a broken heath care system? How do we deal with the corrupt campaign finance system that allows billionaires to control both political parties? Those are some of the issues that need to be discussed, and we are going out around the country right now asking people, working people, run for office. You want to run as a Democrat? Great. You want to run as an Independent? That’s great, but you’ve got to get involved in the political process because right now the two-party system is failing the working class of this country.”
