Hey the Nazis did this to my grandparents so this sounds cool @teamlabouruk.bsky.social
The Sun has been told Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will on Monday propose confiscating jewellery, watches, necklaces from asylum seekers to meet asylum costs
This reflects the most controversial aspect of the Danish scheme - the Jewellery Law. The toughest Labour MPs thought this was OTT

Hi. It's me. I'm here to gently ask if you've been giving yourself grace? Patience? Self-care?
You've got this. You are enough, and you deserve all the good things.

Emily Maitlis brags about her, Deb Cohen, and Hannah Barnes getting the Tavistock GIDS service shut down.
What she doesn't talk about is how Newsnight journalists manufactured outrage and concocted "scandals" based on unethical journalism - which they were called out for, but tried to hide...

Wow if only any of us could remember a mass disabling disease that fundamentally changed society in major ways that hugely effected young people and they are in a world that belittles and gives them no hope.
Probably just young people being lazy though.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

The personification of AI is so scary to me. The loneliness epidemic and isolation of today will destroy so much of people.
As horrible as the world is, I believe in people and community. I believe in the strength of finding your tribe and being a support system.

Interestingly, this trick also works with the passive voice in phrases that people don't usually complain about, like "that said".
It works better if you revert it to "that being said (by zombies)", but "that said by zombies" also works

Because it feels relevant as we continue to evaluate the media and our representatives’ statements, my favorite way to identify the active vs. passive voice.
![A post by Rebecca Johnson:
“I finally learned how to teach my guys to ID the passive voice. If you can insert "by zombies" after the verb, you have passive voice.”
A tumblr respond from mightymur:
“The final, brilliant word on passive voice.
"She was killed [by zombies.]"<--passive
"Zombies killed [by zombies] her." <-- active”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kfrqgupz2gfe4fnqs7tunewt/bafkreih7pn6bwnhxtkd6xpfcck6gnwiqsuuixc4suhzfo4qi7djweo3ggm@jpeg)

Now, more than ever, you have to be a weird little pervert who makes art of questionable quality. You need to be driven crazy by the flesh. Because, as we all learned from Cronenberg's The Fly, the computers are not made crazy by the flesh. They can't do it like us.

Which gives greatest sense of achievement at work?
A) fixing something
B) making something
C) someone with newly vivid hair asking for tips and advice because they think mine looks good
I know it *shouldn't* be C, but that's the way the capitalism capitals

Now, in Montgomery County, Maryland, where the case originated, the results are in.
Only 43 families out of 160,000 students have exercised that new right.

I enjoy a well-thought-out, rule-based magic system in fiction as much as anyone, BUT I also think that we should give more props to what Terry Pratchett did in the Discworld books, where it was less about rules and more about vibes and, more importantly, what fit a given story the best.
