A few nights ago I was surprised to see Venus still fairly high up in the sky at 11:30pm BST. Checked Stellarium and learned that โ contrary to conventional wisdom โ you *can* see Venus at midnight GMT!

I think this is absolutely marvellous. Totally wrings every drop of emotion out of Hamletโs soliloquy.
Andrew Scott delivers this speech too slowly; I know some viewers will hate the way he breaks up the verse. AND YET even in spite of that I think this is the best delivery of this soliloquy Iโve ever seen.
He makes it sound like itโs not a portentous speech everyone already knows but a morally serious real-time deliberation, by a highly intelligent person in extreme pain, considering what it would mean to end his own life.
Weโve all had days at the office like thisโฆ

"President Trump demands Canada change its French language, Quebec culture and Canadian identity as a condition for reversing tariffs. This is no longer about a trade deal-it is about a takeover of Canada's sovereignty and identity."

Where were the financial controls??? 383 Amazon purchases? Why is a CEO making hundreds of purchases in the first place? The treasurer has a lot to answer for - in terms of competence if not criminality.
