Anti-imm right will share the Guardian article and decide Labour have a woke open borders policy; progressive left will share the Sun article and conclude Labour are thugs snatching jewelry from the desperate. Instead of persuading both sides the risk is you anger both and persuade no one.

Really wish I had gotten a better shot of this but holding a phone that says “who else was just ‘following orders’?” up to a riot cop is hard as hell

Farage just gave a press conference, and claimed that the red tape on businesses has risen since Brexit.
You know what? He's right. But he's wrong about the reason!
It's not because Brexit was done badly. It's because Brexit guarantees more bureaucracy because we have to duplicate EU institutions.

Don Figueroa, Simon Furman, Alex Milne et al, were never getting the TENS of THOUSANDS they were owed back, that much was clear. But seeing Hasbro turn to Lee once again after his rotten business practices while working with their brand is really rotten.

My favourite bit of trivia about town twinning is that Dull, Scotland proposed a twinning to Boring, Oregon, USA, for no other reason that it would be hilarious. Then Bland, New South Wales, Australia asked to twin with them as well. And so, in 2013 they created the 'Trinity of Tedium'.

Every photo I take is done practically with very little digital work, using household items to create special effects like cotton wool for fire & foil for water. Each set is meticulously set up for just the one scene then dismantled so I can set up another scene.
Thanks for helping me keep going.

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing.
These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.
