ALT I was really annoyed the other day when the staff at the Odeon cinema said that they wouldn't accept a £5o note when I was paying for my pick 'n' mix. In the end I has to pay with two twenties and a ten. Gustav Fox, Haggerston

On TikTok there is AdjusterTok, where work from home insurance agents video their side of calls explaining how car insurance works to irritated people, and it’s quite sobering stuff. People don’t really know what insurance is, it’s just some magical thing to make stuff better.

This is a very revealing quote from Billy Bragg. If you're independent-minded (paulgraham.com/mod.html), you often find yourself on the same side of an issue as people you dislike. So if he's shocked by that idea, it shows he's not.

To be a good writer, you have to be annoyed by bad writing. You're unlikely to get your first drafts exactly right, and unless you're annoyed by what you got wrong, you won't fix it.

ALT MAKE yourself cry before you start peeling onions, perhaps by thinking about the death of an elderly relative, or how you are a failure in your family's eyes. Do not let the onion win. Mr Penny Pusher, Blackpool Arcade

Your regular reminder that the world is still not doing nearly enough to avoid dangerous warming
If we'd started in 2000, emissions cuts of 3% a yr would have kept us below 1.5C
Now, they must fall 18% *every yr* – or we have to use "negative emissions"
