So kind of a fun fact. You can 100% reach out to a company's insurance company to complain about safety hazards. I swear half of the way I found out my businesses weren't following safety guidelines was from people reaching out. You can do this to a person too.
There's always something uniquely fucky about each Travelodge, in my experience, but this one takes the crown. It has the most ludicrously dangerous shower enclosure I've ever used. Worse, they know it: they've installed grab handles EVERYWHERE, and put up bug warning signs about wet floors.

„Let‘s have a different political and economic system. And that‘s what‘s coming. I want to make sure, Nigel Farrage isn‘t in charge of that, I want to make sure, communities are.“

@zackpolanski.bsky.social
@zackpolanski.bsky.social has changed the narrative in a handful of months. And the media and the established political class are unable to look away. Every headline, every jibe, only points to the fact that they cannot look away. Phenomenal.

They are terrified of how Zack Polanski is resonating with voters, especially young voters who have been so disillusioned by Labour. The infantile insults and so-called ‘jokes’ show just how desperate they are about Zack and the Greens. They know Labour is a lost cause.

I just listened to @zackpolanski.bsky.social on Radio 4 's P.M. Programme. I'm welling up! I've never heard a politician articulate so well the case for a compassionate and equal society. So if you haven't already, then:

Thanks for all the kind words on my Radio 4 interview tonight on the economy!

Vital to ask about this idea of "radicalism" - radical is actually what this Labour Government are doing.

Protecting the interests of the super rich over people and nature.

Also, super cool that these folks are being super coy about the Trump assassination attempt and its weirdness, as if there aren't already enough conspiracy theories that are looking more and more like reality theories about this mfer every day.

Like. They should never work in journalism again.
One thing about the end of the latest piece from Ryan Lizza about how corrupt Olivia Nuzzi is: the artist mentioned here is the same one who Vanity Fair commissioned to do the "abstract nude" painting of Nuzzi

When our son was 10 he would ask questions about whatever narrative we were consuming together and it took one talk like "those questions you're always asking are called the story and if you're patient you'll find that they get answered eventually" and a lot of the internet needs that refresher.
"WHY'S SHE DOING THAT?? WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT, I'M BORED" well the cool thing about following a narrative is that eventually if you keep watching or reading or listening, magical bits of information are doled out

We've finished uploading the Black Friday goods. You can see them, but they aren't purchasable until noon EST on Friday.

I like my collection of things. I wish I'd gotten to do more forging, but I'll have time before the holiday shut off to get it in.

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

I'm going to do a little thread on how the money from books works for traditionally published authors because people have questions, and this is always useful info to share IMO. First, a big disclaimer that every contract is different, and there are a million factors that can change things. 1/
