Microsoft office had emojis so that users didn't need to send an email for the smallest of interactions. Someone at Microsoft has now decided that emoji use requires an automatically generated email to tell me that someone has used an emoji. F! Everyone in tech needs to take a loooooooong holiday.
Harvey & Joyce's adopted daughter Danielle is trying to raise funds to deal with Pekar's raw archive; basically four storage lockers full of notes, outlines, ideas, etc. Note this is not Pekar's comics per se. Those rights have been tied up in court for years. Long, ugly story. Worth backing.

What is the point of trying to grow the economy while we are still being so wasteful.
This whole cinquecento is almost the same size as the boot of the car next to it.

If I was Thames Water I would request that households refrain from flushing the toilet for number 1s and put the paper in the bin instead * as each flush uses approximately 4 litres of water and so many people in London don't have a garden. * apart from in exceptional circumstances

Fucking tell that to my mate in Pudsey who has had to sell the house his brickie father built to pay mums £80,000 a year care costs to a company based in a fucking tax haven. Charles Moore's family will doubtless have millions left to pay for this care. Most working class families have a house.

This book's chapter on Amazon's business practices and the publishing industry is truly vomit inducing. Ai slop is the least of our worries.

I would like to know how the companies on the government's MTD list got there and whose palms they greased in the process.
