The fact that 'prominence' and 'dominance' aren't spelled in the same way is going to be my final straw one day. I just want the Word red squiggly line to leave me alone😭

Petition for Microsoft's "dictate" function to stop putting a full stop when I say the word "period" – particularly as it's set to recognise British English! 🙏🏼 @microsoft.com xo

currently reading a chapter on the US's prison industrial complex [in Selman and Leighton's 'Punishment for Sale', 2010] - this is so fucking dystopian i want to vomit. WHY ARE PRIVATE PRISONS EVEN A THING
A group is absent from the narrative re why people are not in work. 1 in 4 adults of working age in England & Wales has a criminal record, many for minor crimes committed decades ago. Having a record is a huge barrier to getting jobs, or even applying & a driver to ill health www.fairchecks.org.uk
3/4 episodes through "adolescence" on netflix. simply phenomenal - a must watch if you're looking for something new

🎙️ @david-sturrock.bsky.social on why social mobility has been faltering in recent years, from our latest podcast on inheritocracy.

I constantly hear/see journalists, commentators & interviewers asserting how easy it is to get incapacity & disability benefits despite clearly having no real understanding of how the process actually works or having spoken to someone who's been through it. Completely distorts public understanding
Pretty radical analysis tucked away in @economist.com this week on the rise of an assetocracy, especially through inheritance, leading to a bigger rentier class and a disenfranchised group locked out from economic success and open to more populist parties

spent the morning parkrunning the combined stress of the state of the world world & ever-pressing uni work away for a bit. 10/10 would recommend. the world is scary, but it carries on turning - don't let the existentialism eat you up 🤍
Trump and Vance have repeatedly claimed that Zelensky has not been sufficiently grateful for U.S. support throughout the war.
We compiled instances where Zelensky has publicly expressed gratitude to the U.S., its people, and its leadership for being Ukraine’s largest supporter.
along this same line, i was so concerned by trump's self-centred line in the meeting where he says (paraphrased) "putin may have broken deals made with obama, with biden, but he hasn't broken a deal with me personally, so i don't have a problem". like, HE STILL BROKE DEALS WITH US GOVERNMENT!!
Like????
Zelensky's finest achievement to date may be in not lamping these cunts
i would have burst into tears of frustration, i know that much.
so painfully patronising 🫣
