The fact that 'prominence' and 'dominance' aren't spelled in the same way is going to be my final straw one day. I just want the Word red squiggly line to leave me alone😭

there's been soooo much roadkill as i've been driving up the motorway today, including an adult and baby deer which nearly made me cry while driving 😢 rip poor babies. i wonder what more we can do as a country for these animals, e.g. bridges for animals to cross which i've seen other countries have

A group is absent from the narrative re why people are not in work. 1 in 4 adults of working age in England & Wales has a criminal record, many for minor crimes committed decades ago. Having a record is a huge barrier to getting jobs, or even applying & a driver to ill health www.fairchecks.org.uk

I constantly hear/see journalists, commentators & interviewers asserting how easy it is to get incapacity & disability benefits despite clearly having no real understanding of how the process actually works or having spoken to someone who's been through it. Completely distorts public understanding
Yet again *another* Times columnist - this time Emma Duncan - makes a blatantly false claim about disability benefits

"At present you can get signed off sick simply through a phone consultation with a GP."

Just shockingly bad journalism, again and again and again.

Pretty radical analysis tucked away in @economist.com this week on the rise of an assetocracy, especially through inheritance, leading to a bigger rentier class and a disenfranchised group locked out from economic success and open to more populist parties

Inheriting is becoming nearly as important as working
More wealth means more money for baby-boomers to pass on. That is dangerous for capitalism and society

Trump and Vance have repeatedly claimed that Zelensky has not been sufficiently grateful for U.S. support throughout the war.

We compiled instances where Zelensky has publicly expressed gratitude to the U.S., its people, and its leadership for being Ukraine’s largest supporter.
Zelensky thanks America for four minutes straight
