Why does Headline English so often use the construction "[cause] as [effect]", e.g. "Heatwave continues as four reported dead"?
I don't think anyone would ever say that in natural usage, but the reverse - "Four reported dead as heatwave continues" - seems way more natural.

Ughh it should be illegal to a) release TV series all spread out and b) recommend a series to me without warning me it's all spread out so I can wait and watch it all at once, the way god intended.

Nature is beautiful: here you can see the adult buses circling together to protect the baby buses from busivores that would otherwise prey on them
So this happened in Oslo yesterday. Four articulated buses got stuck in a roundabout.

You know for a fact they're only doing this because juries are routinely finding anti-genocide and climate change protestors innocent.
Bit of a test case here for “is liberalism still a real thing, or is it just a political version of a collection of Labubus that you show off to your friends” IMO.
![NEW: The Government is set to scrap trial by
jury for most cases
Only murder, rape, manslaughter and a few public interest cases will go to a jury, while all other cases will be decided by a single judge

Some good news amongst the deluge of daily horrors
BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.
🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.
This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

I was cycling to work this morning, thinking about how shit it is losing my job for being depressed and being asked to sign an NDA saying I can't tell my colleagues that's why I'm leaving, and I happened to glance up and notice this sign which I must have passed hundreds of times without seeing.

Our respectable media outlets are run by outright fascists and it's going to take physical violence to recover from this situation.

I think we can all agree it's very sad to hear Cameron used to have cancer.
Now to check the history of NHS funding and see who was responsible for large amounts of budget reduction for its services including cancer screening

My brain is still making me feel super bad about being unproductive at work even though I'm losing this job in two weeks and feel absolutely zero sense of obligation to my employers. Wish I could somehow tell my brain "actually we don't live under communism yet so please react accordingly."

The difference between anyone who has had a real job and your average "AI writer for the Economist" whose entire life is a net negative on the planet is that many of us realize that the authoritarian structures of your typical job don't actually further the productive goals of the organization.
“Capitalism forces you to wake up at 7am against your body’s natural rhythms” no that’s Taylorism and if you don’t like living in a society that coordinates effort to ensure a better outcome for all then I don’t think you’ll love the alternatives
