45 years of announcing that this time we’re really going to crack down on the scroungers and moochers, slowly realising this means starving the poor and people who can’t work, then having to lash together yet another fix out of cardboard and pritt stick.

Here's Reeves telling us how bad child poverty is, that kids go to bed hungry, wake up in cold homes & end up in hospital with respiratory problems, all because of child poverty.

You are a better woman than I - I am a complete coward and didnt want to watch Reeves being grilled on a non story about lying instead of the details of the budget. I listened to @quietriotpod.bsky.social instead. Much more soothing

The subcategorization/tropefication of popular fiction has been very bad in general, both for authors and readers.
The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.
