the best editor you could literally ever ask for in both the shortform and longform categories is @jesszimmerman.com - and she's freelance, so go hire her!!! www.jesszimmerman.com/editing.html
By the way, it's National Editor Appreciation Day.
Nobody ever reads a great article and thinks, "Dang, that was some tight editing." But editing is a big part of how it got to be great.
So writers, if you've ever worked with a good editor, shout 'em out.

Every time I see a perfume advert on TV, I am reminded how nuts a concept that is. The core essence of the thing is the one thing they cannot meaningfully share with you. So instead, here’s Johny Depp alligator wrestling in leather chaps.

Reposting for reach cos I reckon there’s probably a few folks in my mutuals..
anyone got any experience/made something with the UK parliament API?
I'm thinking about making a page that shows how Labour MPs vote for this latest far-right shite from the home secretary.
Ideally I render each MP's interests/dontations too.
Time to shine a big light on these grifters.

I am presumably late to this but I’ve just found the ‘Quips’ feed in the Patreon app.
Nice to see the work in progress and whatnot of people I patreonise (?) and people they recommend. It reminds me of early Pinterest and Instagram.

EHRC: the law now requires Black people to use their own facilities. It’s not segregation; it’s only segregation if you do that to white people.
Oh, sorry, when we said Black we meant trans, and when we said white we meant cis.
Did we mention we’re the equality and human rights regulator?

And I say again, the enduring appeal of many murder mystery stories is the notion that the rich and powerful can be made to pay any consequence at all for the horrendous crimes they commit in plain sight.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.
