There's a New York Times article about how to get picked up by a big publisher that still lives rent-free in my head where, after several paragraphs of fluff and generic advice, they admit their example author just knew a guy in publishing who could bypass all the obstacles and get them deal.

What I would really like to see from any of the so-called radicals in UK politics is to move from their comfort zones and actually home in on real unaddressed issues like the overwhelming government bias towards the largest companies - which could make a real difference.

Each of them wants to fill the vacuum left by weakening democracies.
But none of them can coexist with the others because they’re mutually incompatible — not just ideologically but structurally.

A new mural has appeared in Ternopil, dedicated to children killed in Russia’s attack.
The artwork, showing a child shielding her toys from a Russian missile, was created by artist Andriy Yermolenko. He described it as “a cry for help to the global community.”

It’s so hilarious how Mamdani has broken the brains of the Chamber of Commerce crowd. My grandfather was a small business owning Eisenhower Republican and he would have been 100% in favor of all of this.
Soon small businesses won’t have to wait for Small Business Saturday to get attention from their Mayor.
Some changes that they can look forward to:
