Leveraged buyouts need to be made illegal yesterday. And I mean that literally, we need to go retroactive with this shit and outright sieze any company bought using a leveraged buyout.

I recommend no less than 4 copies of any beloved book. A paperback for margin notes and lending to friends, an eBook for reading with greasy snack fingers, an audio book so you know how character names are pronounced, and a pristine hardcover to be buried with you like a pharaoh.

Is there an indie author who wouldn't mind spending some time going back and forth in messages explaining how to properly market a book because I am really struggling to figure it out?

I look back on the people who I should have been able to trust who failed me when I was young. The authority figures who's word I should have been able to take at face value. And I am filled with such hate.

Did anyone else when they went to university with a disability have to get rediagnosed due to being diagnosed as a child before Student Finance England would provide support for their disability? I've talked with dozens of disabled students since I left university and so far have not found anyone.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows a brain. The brain is saying "I'm 30 and YOUNG! I only recently fully developed!"
The second panel shows a heart. The heart says "I hear ya! I can keep going for DECADES more!"
The third panel shows a spine's face. It weakly says, "I am old".
We zoom out and the spine is using a walker. It continues, "so very old".

When the absolute prats who yammer on about British values somehow always find themselves trying to undermine and destroy the institutions that uphold said values. It's almost like Reform are full of shit.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Just a few more chapters until Book 3 is finished. Have to say that writing it has been my biggest struggle as a writer, I went into it with way too barebones of an outline and then deviated rapidly from it where some consequences from the previous book I hadn't considered caught up with me.

A WHOLE LOT of trans people are citing to the last decade of UK politics as a reason they think anti-trans Dems winning is worse FOR THEM than anti-trans Repubs. And a whole lot of US liberals aren't engaging with that example at all while pontificating about why trans people are wrong and stupid.

The way indie music is seen as 'cool' and indie films are seen as 'embracing the craft without selling out' while indie books are seen as 'didn't get trad published' gives me feelings. Really crunchy feelings. The snobbery makes zero sense and instantly tells me someone isn't worth listening to.

According to Robert Jenrick MP, it is okay to beat him in the head with a stick if you disagree with him. Truly a bold stance from Reform.

Reform has boldly taken the stance that if you don't like what someone is saying you can beat them in the head with sticks. Not sure it's the best long term strategy.

Political cartoon with the headline “REFILLING AMERICA’S STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE...” across the top. A grotesque, giant mosquito with Trump's head stands over a globe centered on the Americas, its long black proboscis pierces Venezuela, sucking oil from the country. The insect’s swollen, dark abdomen resembles an oil-filled reservoir and drips oil. The United States is nearby, separated by “GULF OF INSANITY.”

Can the media, and the BBC in particular, stop using the word "detained" or "arrested". The word is "kidnapped". Illegal settlers cannot "detain" people there, nor can Israel arrest them. It is illegally occupied territory.
