Tory policy is to revoke permanent residence (ILR) for everybody who does not earn £38k - deporting most nurses who have ILR
This is put in the video as "who is unlikely to contribute more than they cost"
NB: video does not say EU settled status is exempt
No govt since Idi Amin has done this

Near to an hour's research for the sentence:
"As Arthur took in the red-brick facade, the mullioned windows and the sandstone quoining, he felt the reality of his current situation hit him."
In the end Rice's Language of Buildings saved me 😆 #writingcommunity #author #wip

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing.
These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

Artists are losing work, wages, and hope as bosses and clients embrace AI
Visual artists, illustrators and graphic designers share their stories about how AI is being used to lower wages, degrade work and even replace it altogether, in this installment of AI Killed My Job.

Why do people do this? You're telling me you were with your grandbaby yesterday who now has salmonella and then you go and rub your hands over the face of my child while you're talking at me and they're in the pram? Why would you?

Now ARC reading an Arthurian retelling where the author didn't use Google to check their heraldic colours; 'white' is in fact 'silver' (argent), and 'yellow' would be 'gold' (or) - red and white (Lancelot) and red and silver (some other knight) would be the same colour arms 🫠 #writingcommunity
Not historical as such but recently read a book where the protagonist stitched up a wound and then cauterised it I guess melting flesh into stitches
And don't tell yourself: "It's a story. The small details don't really matter." They do. I once read a historical novel set in Victorian London (written, I think, by an American author), in which the detective protagonist presses a 50-pence piece into a grimy urchin's hand. I think about this a lot.

My wife is in Vogue shitting on your AI-generated "art" 💜 www.vogue.com/article/matt...
![Well, everything. The death of art. [Laughs.] A thing that I’ve been struck by in the last year of tech development around art is that what makes us human is making art, even if you’re not a professional artist. This is kind of corny, but I think about cavemen, right? One of the first things we ever did as a species was put our handprints on a wall, and it’s just this drive that has always been there. It’ll always be there. And I think it’s preposterous that these people are suggesting that they develop this technology, and the first thing they want to eliminate is art, so you have more time to…what, email? I don’t know what they think I’m going to do with my fucking day. Most of the population is not artists, but a lot of the population has artistic hobbies, and if you replace that with a computer doing it for you or whatever, it’s just pointless. I think there’s a death drive in these people, almost, and an actual hatred of artists; they are jealous of people with imagination because they don’t have one, and they almost consciously want to eliminate it.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:obalt57atoxc2zooldtuur75/bafkreifnjtvupzmkqg7cggiv2z5nckzpp5yd2sm7h5gg2kq3plbwv2btuy@jpeg)
