If writing is so easy why do people argue that they can’t do it without the pablumatic verbiage extruder
And if it’s so difficult then why do people think it’s not labour and writers are not workers

Watching major UK parties, including Labour, vying to be the nastiest to immigrants is revolting. Like some deranged version of the Four Yorkshiremen sketch. "We'd make 'em get up half an hour before they went to bed, eat some warm gravel, and pay the mill owner to work a 16-hour day..."

Another question I've never had an answer to: arguing online over a word. "The Dictionary is your friend!" "But I want to know what YOU mean by it." Silence. Usually because they want to use it with a racist subtext.

Reading a book written in the 70s and someone invites a friend round and whistles up a lasagna. Wouldn't it take hours? Does anybody do this any more? I miss Italian food.

US voters, please save the wolves.
Congress is considering bills that could strip protections from gray wolves in 44 states. Losing these safeguards would leave wolves vulnerable to hunting and persecution.
