A 1944 map by geologist Harold Fisk charts a 40-mile stretch of the Mississippi River from Friars Point to Gunnison, Mississippi.

So the thing is, you can really let people know what you think with a simple facial expression. I do a lot.

Someone in my last job said i had a terrible poker face. No buddy, it's *entirely* deliberate. My poker face is excellent.

As I get older I'm coming to increasingly radical views like "you have to do things to get good at them" and "you have to think about problems to solve them"

Dalkeith man who lost his dad to dementia launches platform to help bereaved families A man who lost his dad to dementia has used his experience to help other bereaved families across the country.

Something a bit personal today. Edinburgh News covered why I built Afterloss.

It started when my dad passed away and I found myself in a bank, not knowing that my power of attorney had died with him.

Well yeah. I feel there is a lot of stupid happening in places where stupid could escalate pretty quick.

Our luck, as a general civilisation, might not last.

And you can't crop all these images for me either. What can you do?

"I might be able to help in other waysβ€”like mapping the logic, documenting the sequence, or spotting gaps."

I need you to do donkey work, *I do the thinking*.
