ANYWAY. Good luck to anyone who thinks the future is exclusion, because it never has been and it never will be...
The people who think that the future is just excluding everything from the sections of 'humanity' they don't want to exist are going to get a really big surprise as they are given the exact same treatment as a result. All these people acting amazed when people they respect turn out to be hated...
Knowing what I can and can't get into trouble over when responding to this post, I would venture to suggest this Code of Practice appears inherently flawed, and may cause irreparable damage to the reputation of this country. Where is the actual equality and humanity?
Our code of practice for services, public functions and associations comes into force today. It provides practical guidance on how the Equality Act 2010 applies to services, public functions and associations. Find out more: https://ow.ly/alIf50Zwrkx
Cults, not Cuts! What do we want? CULTS! When do we want them? 1973!
This has been a wild ride but I'm going to have to mute this because the depressed doomer reactionaries who don't know how to eat have found it.
Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.
Also I have ended up co-editing something MASSIVELY important… How the fuck did this happen???
You can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.
Really weird to me how incredibly rich white men get to say stuff like "in three to four years we'll be achieving nuclear fusion from honey" and the stock markets go "wow, sounds great bro!" and the news just reports it with maybe a paragraph at the end of "critics say this is unlikely".
First, you tell me to get a hobby; now it's an “appropriate hobby”.
I am considering the irony of Musk being finally dethroned by his own errant rocket, and it pleases me greatly…

I saw someone walking a strange dog in the distance. It took me longer than it should to realise they were wheeling a grey Henry the Hoover.
August already zipping by. Need to get my arse in gear…

Jaws ON MARS (with added time travel as you discover sharks were once the master race on the Red Planet until they ate all other forms of life and sent the last of their kind to earth on a shark-shaped spaceship (say that ten times fast!)
let's pretend: Universal announces a screenwriting contest for Jaws 5. What's your pitch?
Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media
Everything is itching and I can feel my brain trying to escape the confines of it's current space...

Breakfasted. Writing about what might be the best offer anyone has given me this year.
Considering both of mine had a range of colourful language at that age, I’d argue that whatever you do, however much you try and be sensible, SOMEONE will complain in this climate, so I’d just use that you think is ‘enough’ ^^
Parents! What's the WORST swearword you'd be comfortable with your 8-12 year old reading in a story? Where do we stand on "arse"? (please be as prissy as you like, I'm trying to balance "word I want to use" with "can I be arsed with the complaints"?)
Certain posters are not beating the allegations that a certain type of British journalist is incapable of extending empathy to anyone other than the 50 or so colleagues they run into at dinner parties, a grace they extend to those 50 people but think minorities & the disadvantaged are unworthy of
Related to the last repost: I really do miss slow burn anything. Not massive interconnected universes, not derivation universes, not clever nods to the past, but just single concept, engaging and compelling ideas. I find myself yearning for the early days of 24.
