This one, and it shouldn't be read just once.

Ah, Adrian Chiles, whom Stewart Lee once likened to a "speaking Toby jug filled to the brim with hot piss", and it's just a perfect description imo.

I'd recommend switching to a different search engine, but in the meantime this link will give you Google search results without the ai overview: udm14.com?ref=allthing...

I both want to know what reasonable alternatives she proposes, and can't be bothered to check, and the very high likelihood of the answer being "none" might be the reason why...

Or rather, I have few more of Dan's excellent comments to add:

6/ Especially since Wes Streeting finds himself with a bit more time on his hands after his vile but sadly successful campaign against trans people: another group that, being discriminated against in the classical job market, often operates in alternative economies, that capital sees as a threat...

5/as they'd happily deport people and split families, rather than have to provide a minimum of state support/care to those unable to work for any reason (or those providing unpaid labour that allows others to work). And so it makes sense that they would turn to what they call "mental health crisis"

4/ they repeatedly signal that our worth is in our ability to work, and work to the maximum of our ability: their constant appeal to "hard working people" signals that anyone who doesn't do just that is not worthy of attention, respect and rights. That shows in their immigration policies too

3/ workers who make demands are the sand in the cogs of capital, and since Wes is so, so chummy with lobbyists and corporations, obviously he'll do anything to keep workers working and the cogs churning. Its in line with broader Labour stance:

2/ Also, before I got diagnosed with ADHD in my40s, I didn't understand myself, as I was looking at my issues through neurotypical lens: now that I have the right framework, I am able to identify my needs and advocate for myself : could it be that the capital doesn't like workers who make demands? 🤔

In terms of neurodevelopmental conditions like ADHD and autism it's lack of societal awareness and understanding and unwillingness of many workplaces to make adjustments that makes people quit: its not that they're unfit to work, it's that the work market is not a right fit for ND people.

Oh great to see an update on those legends🫶 I hope they are successful in contesting this "reprieve": "Among the conditions for them to remain include the cessation of all social media activity, a ban on outside visitors to the convent and the settling of a legal dispute"-shameful gag order attempt!

Hey Blaž, any updates on this?
