Except it’s not remotely important to discourage non-disabled people from using accommodations because the more people find them useful, the more widespread they become. Curb cuts aren’t only beneficial for people in wheelchairs. Delivery people aren’t “faking” anything for using them too.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

It's easy to be progressive and inclusive and say and do the right things when society at large feels the same. And while that does matter, it matters even more when society loses its way and starts attacking the good people. That's when you earn your medals.

Your annual reminder that the most revealing difference between Irish and Scottish Gaelic is definitely in the words for December: Mí na Nollag (Month of Christmas) in Ireland, and An Dubhlachd (the Blackness) in Scotland. So once again may I wish you all a lovely Blackness.

Currently staying in a premier inn. Do they put sparkles in the bathroom flooring or is it just the residue of 1000 hen nights?

Reading all the comments on Musk’s tragic use of Grok today makes me really want Stone & Parker to re-release So Ronery but for Musk (a la Candle in the Wind)

If anyone lost a bag of books from LRB Bookshop on the Metropolitan Line between Baker St- Watford, I handed it to a cleaner when the train terminated at Watford tube station. And if you have far more followers than me, please share this status. LRB bookshop is not cheap!

Catching up with #strictly - Katya and Lewis doing a dance themed on Katherine Arden’s ‘The Warm Hands of Ghosts’ was not on my bingo card. It was amazing

When he says “hit it, Joe”, I don’t think first time viewers are going to be prepared for just how hard Joe hits it.
makes me weep to think of the gifts robbed from us because unaffordable housing has made it difficult for people to pursue their passions and hobbies

No show or movie has ever delivered a worse creature from another dimension than ABC bringing Stephen King's The Langoliers to the screen.

This is a very elegant summary of a total shit show
I'm not American, so I obviously don't feel any sort of way about the White House per se, and of course I know what it is: a palace built by the labour of enslaved people that is the (symbolic, at least) headquarters of a government responsible for all kinds of questionable acts during its existence

Alan Carr: Odysseus. He could betray his closest friend without hesitation. He’s clever, plausible, entertaining and ruthless. His greatest liability? Running his mouth off and getting himself into trouble...

The Government's Post-16 white paper talks a lot about giving young people the skills they need for the world of work, but mentions communication skills only once.
Communication is vital in the workplace, and helping young people develop these skills must be a priority! 1/2 🧵

Mr Brazil starts us off inoffensively enough with a fairly boring suit but my goodness he's selling it with that walk. He does get a bonus point for the suit clearly fitting though, because as you will see that is not always a given...
