after 10 years of this not working you would think you freaks would try something else. but then i remember that you don't actually want to win if it means making a single concession or compromise with anyone to the left of richard nixon. you would rather be a perpetual aggrieved minority

Many of LexisNexis' brands date back to the nineteenth century or earlier. These include Butterworths and Tolley in the UK and JurisClasseur in France. In 2019, 85% of its revenues were electronic. The LexisNexis legal and news database contains 119 billion documents and records.

Exhibitions and popular culture: RELX's exhibitions business is called RX, formerly Reed Exhibitions until 2021. It is the world's largest exhibitions company, running 500 shows for 140,000 exhibitors and 7 million visitors.

ReedPop, part of RX, organises popular culture events including New York Comic Con and PAX.

Saying it for maybe the 50th time: Do not accuse someone of using AI unless you have ABSOLUTELY AIRTIGHT proof, because if not, you're just adding to the paranoia and causing stress for hard-working artists. And yes, going onto social media and going 'Hrrm, I've no proof, but...' is an accusation.

There's no forgiving this. No living it down. It's a stain on our humanity. When all this is over, the monsters who did this should be pariahs. And the soulless thugs who cheered it on while dehumanizing Haitian immigrants should be reminded of what they did every day of their lives.

Dolly Parton was universally loved because she was a rich person who knew what it was like to be poor, stayed down to earth, and spent her life giving back to others who were less fortunate. The oligarchs who don’t understand why everyone hates them probably won’t learn from this. But they should

From Jane:
She had a survivor's instinct and seemed to always know just what to do, just what to say, to make things right...and then she's stick her butt out the car window and moon Kenny Roger's home. She was the voluptuous embodiment of empathy.
That's something of hers she'd want us all to take with us.
(I highlighted ):
To her gay and trans fans, I want you to know that she loved you. You know that without me telling you. She loved all her fans and they are legion. And you know she doesn't want y'all to mourn now.
Dress up and celebrate her spirit.
