Take yet another bow, Brexit and all you sad saps who bought the pack of lies sold you.
The EU are removing their de minimis threshold next year. So that will be the EU added to the growing list of places that I can’t sell to.
As a small business it’s getting harder and harder to keep going.
Fuck brexit and all who sail in her. 🤬

Future repercussions are something we should be pushing companies much harder on, especially now that the cracks are really starting to show.
Dimon on why JPMorgan Chase is not funding WH Ballroom:
We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

I'm flummoxed by the underground movement to rehab cancelled figures. There's a rumor that a studio head is planning to begin bringing cancelled people back. It's bananas. The industry has contracted, leaving writers, directors and actors scrambling for work and we're making space for sex criminals?

And it's not as though people were *choosing* to use taxis out of extravagance. That's the transport arranged for them by the subcontractors which they were required to use.

So how exactly are they meant to get to them? Many are placed in areas without accessible transport links. They can't afford to pay for journeys themselves because of how little support they get.
Yet again Labour choosing to pander to Reform than think of consequences.

Checked the nest today (I garden a lot and the New Holland honeyeaters seem pretty used to me) and these fellows have fledged. So far as I can tell, they both made it.
Not sure if they return to the nest for a few days, so going to leave it for a bit before clearing out the peas.

Good on you!
I've been kind of delighted that my garden's supported two New Holland honeyeater nests this year (one among my peas!) - and a duck nest (came out one day to find mama duck and a flotilla of newborn ducklings, so my unexpected task was building a duckling ladder up the stairs).

Weirdly (or possibly not - not enough frame of reference to tell yet), I'm finding it easier going writing the brand new scenes in the adaptation I'm working on, than the ones that are very clearly based on the existing material.
