A few potential words of the day:
Joblijock: a disturber of domestic peace (small children, cantankerous uncles, etc).
Yule-hole: the furthest notch in your belt that you need to resort to at Christmas.
Confelicity: joy in other people’s happiness.
Merry Christmas.

have to say I've actually been quite lucky with prompt payments this year but the 2024 freelance award for Please For The Love Of God Just Fucking Pay Me has to go to CNN, who published a piece I wrote for them in early July and - you guessed it! - are yet to pay me for it

This makes me so very, very happy
An extraordinary moment. Guardian to stop publishing on Twitter www.theguardian.com/media/2024/n...
Why the Guardian is no longer posting on X
We will stop posting from our official editorial accounts on the platform, but X users can still share our articles

Just reading old newspapers... as one does, when I found this gem from the Chicago Sunday Tribune from 1900.
It's about the weapons of offence and defence used by women in one year in Chicago according to police records.

Slightly concerned about the zero horizon landscape.
