Britain's dying high streets 'could be saved' by unlikely revival
Britain's dying high streets 'could be saved' by unlikely revival The first flushing public toilets were invented 175 years ago. Now 60% have vanished from our streets, and public urination is once again causing a health hazard. If a 19th century urine deflector or “wazzbaffle” had been protecting the West London wall where Lord Mandelson was caught short recently, it wouldn’t have been the first time the disgraced peer’s mistakes had come back to haunt him.
AI Has Come for Serif Fonts
As public backlash to the seeming omnipresence of artificial intelligence intensifies, the collective quest to weed out—and reject—telltale signs of its use continues. One of the first casualties, to my dismay, was em dashes—which are a great, and very human form of punctuation, by the way! There's also the “rule of threes,” which is meant to scan as rhythmic, but often comes across predictable, hackish, and stale.

All These Defeats Are Ruining Trump’s Birthday
Why is the world conspiring to spoil America’s 250th birthday, and, more important, Donald Trump’s 80th? Like a Roman emperor, Trump has busied himself with self-aggrandizing public works, such as a massive triumphal arch, and is staging gladiatorial sports in his own honor, in the form of a UFC fight on the White House lawn on June 14. A string of recent setbacks reveals that Trump is no omnipotent emperor after all, but an American president who—more and more—is forced to fold.

A woman interred in Scotland 2000 years ago has peculiar scrape marks inside her skull, which suggest that removing the brain after death may have been a funeral tradition in Iron Age Britain.
