No other word has done more damage to the craft of writing in recent years than β€œcontent”. Even if you’re using the word β€œcontent” ironically, or as a cute little joke, don’t. When someone calls writing β€œcontent” they’re pissing on someone’s hard work & passion. β€œContent” is Technosatan’s henchword.

Very sad news indeed - I had the great pleasure of working with Jim during his time as DFM, and all the warm tributes are no surprise. He was a true gent, and a dedicated public servant. Condolences to his family πŸ•ŠοΈ

Reforming public sector pensions would save Β£37 billion a year.

With public sector pensions constituting a Β£1.4 trillion unfunded liability, new employees should be moved to funded defined contribution schemes.

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland.

And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

Trump wins his peace prize from Fifa – any chance of a VAR review? At a gaudy and gauche World Cup draw, Gianni Infantino went all out to flatter the world’s most precious ego

David Smith, unsurprisingly, cooked with this scene piece.
