Like movie adaptations that don’t quite resemble the book, the face peering back at us from the bathroom mirror can be, well, disappointing. Time for a useful video essay from The School Of Life. To wit:
We’re always being told that we should make peace with how we look; but why? We never chose our bodies and nor should we necessarily be forced to identify with them. They’re like a random taxi we were shoved into at birth.

A high profile job can be tough
There’ll be days when you have had enough
But when you’re the boss
You won’t give a toss
You can just run away in a huff

Don’t believe anyone who tells you that mid-twentieth-century Ireland didn’t do manufacturing, modernist typography… or knicker elastic…
‘El-Jay’ was a brand name of Braids Ltd., Ennis, County Clare, manufacturers of boot & shoe laces, elastics, braids, nylon cords, etc.

Sharp Group Commercial Manager Joe Doolan and the The Thermal Body Temperature Management System in action
Um.
The Thermal Body Temperature Management System.
A body scanning device From Irish security experts Sharp Group which it claims will “enable businesses to reopen more quickly”.
Sharp sez:
It measures the temperature of visitors as they pass giving ‘accurate readings to within 0.3 degrees’ and is ‘effective at a range of up to three metres’.
If the visitor’s temperature is above normal levels, the unit sounds an audible or visual alarm, and if integrated with the existing access control system can prevent the individual from going any further…
Meanwhile..
Sharp Group Commercial Manager Joe Doolan says:
“A person who comes into the building and unknowingly spreads the Coronavirus to others will be a big concern for many businesses in the coming months This system helps to reduce that risk and give businesses and their customers piece of mind.”
That’s enough dystopia for one day.
Fight!
