Kids from the Midlands will never not be somehow reinventing Grebo - it's like there is some ancient god buried there that urges a particular kind of sensibility on anyone who learns to make music there

Legal 500 workers win full pay claim after strike action

Wednesday 30 September 2026  
Share
Dozens of publishing staff at Legalease, the publishers of legal industry-bible The Legal 500, have won a dramatic victory in their industrial dispute over pay.

Staff who had been on strike for two and a half weeks accepted an offer that fully met their original pay claim of a £2000 pay increase for every worker. This was despite the company originally claiming it would not pay such an increase.

Reboot of the Bond franchise but it's set in the late 17th century and he's an agent for the East India Company switching from Restoration-era charm to unspeakable colonial violence in pursuit of company objectives.

there is certainly something (((interesting))) about how the media loves to depict the ultra-wealthy as existing precariously under a pervasive culture of persecution that requires them to be ready to grab their assets and leave for a safer locale at the drop of a hat

As an antifascist and anarchist, I've been arrested 9 times but have no criminal record. I have only given a full comment interview once. Last year they tried to pin a Section 3 Affray charge on me, which carries up to 3 years in prison, 12x what Danny Tommo, a convicted kidnapper, is facing.

this thought smarts every time I think about "It's a bug-hunt" that never got to be the epigraph to my last book
A post from davidallengreen saying "A quote used as an epigraph or motto above a chapter is as integral a part of a chapter as a quote used in the text below, but the former usually has permission from the copyright owner and the latter is fair use, and it is an odd distinction."

If you're from any kind of queer community it's increasingly being shown that "don't talk to journalists" needs to be just as ironclad a rule as "don't talk to cops."

I've seen posts saying we shld do this here and can you imagine?! it would take the form of a ticket price loan scheme and be operated by an offshore-owned scam co which would lend full value but only pass on 40% to the opera house, and the only users of the scheme would be able to afford tix anyway

1. Authoritarian neoliberal project reaches shelf life 2. Gets roundly rejected by voters 3. Credulous insiders select regime-adjacent figure who promises limited change 4. Figure accepts dominant power structure, eschews even limited change and embarks on authoritarian neoliberal project. 5. See 1.

the really wild thing about this is that, because TERFs hold that gonadal tissue is the sole determinant of sex, they would say (& I have seen them say) that a girl with CAIS is actually a boy, so should be using the boys loos anyway

being trans is having a minor, but familiar cultural figure declare they hate you on the regular. the guy from 2 unlimited says non-binary people just want attention? sure. the jester from rent-a-ghost calls bottom surgery, "a desecration. a grotesque flesh hole that spits in god's face"? great.

This is hilarious. The EHRC are meeting in Glasgow now and are too scared to come outside to get lunch because a group of trans weans are protesting outside. The EHRC had to get 70 pounds worth of dominos pizza ordered instead and I know because I've literally seen the receipt myself.

Not wishing to beef with this poster in particular but the "alignment risk" has been a pervasive feature of capital throughout modernity, Marx wrote a big book about it 150 years ago, and yet liberals persist in making not incorporating it into their worldview a shibboleth of acceptable discourse
