Starmer wants decency in politics and will not stop doing absolutely nothing to achieve it until someone else does it for him.

Not to beat a dead horse, but I don't have rent money for December, a way to get holiday presents for my kids, money for medications, or groceries. If you're hiring or know someone, please pass my name along.

Pardon the interruption, but it's time again:

I am looking for work. Steady income preferred.

I have a grad degree, a long CV, and I'm quick to learn. I don't have a specific field I'm interested in, I just need work, urgently and desperately.

This is the best takedown of Musk I’ve ever read. From a beloved author around my age no less, Joyce Carol Oates.
A tweet from Joyce Carol Oates (@JoyceCarolOates) reads: “So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates—scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the ‘most wealthy person in the world.’” The tweet is written in white text on a black background, typical of X (Twitter).

Are you the type of person to carefully concoct a watertight tale, complete with world-building and pronunciation guide for that mysterious new stomach bug, all so you don’t have to go to work tomorrow?

Lovely jubbly, we want your voice for our brand new storytelling department.

Good one!
The image is a screenshot of a social media post by Very Finnish Problems (@VFi ...), posted 6 hours ago. The post reads: "This made me laugh a lot harder than it should have." Below the post, there is a three-panel comic strip from sadanduseless.com. In the first panel, a woman asks, "Wanna hear a joke?" In the second panel, Donald Trump responds, "Sure." The woman then says, "GREENLAND," to which Trump replies, "I don’t get it." In the third panel, the woman says, "YOU SAID IT," with a surprised expression.

A mummy in motion, it’s right hand holds a jackal-headed canopic jar and it’s left hand is raised towards the viewer. It wears jewellery denoting its royal status. A white pirate with a dagger between his teeth smiling as he tosses dice forwards. He is wearing a green coat on one shoulder, and cards of varying suits are stashed around his clothing. An illustration of a character from the Dune universe under the influence of Spice - she is holding out her hands as she is hallucinating words and colourful swirls around her. In the background, two sisters of the Bene Gesserit look on. Digital painting of the American Heritage Museum as seen in the Fallout: Winter of Atom RPG book. An overcast but bright snowy day, the museum is crumbling. The central tower has collapsed and most of the windows are broken or missing.

Lawyers for Liz Truss have asked me to stop saying Liz Truss crashed the economy. I only said Liz Truss crashed the economy because Liz Truss did crash the economy. If she wanted me to not say Liz Truss crashed the economy, she shouldn’t have crashed the economy.
Please don’t share.
