I am very very convinced that the phrase “creative person” is completely tautologous. My evidence is only that I have met quite a lot of people.

*numbers bit.
We had one property manager tell us our landlord wanted to “improve his yield to bring it more in line with the area” without any embarrassment

I see this is specifically about re-letting but it‘s the numbers but that grossed me out

The random agent doesn’t yet, but the landlord does because they demand proof of income to start the tenancy

It’s certainly a challenge not to. “You know precisely how much your tenant earns, why not extract more of it?”

The British government is Very Sensible and so can be trusted with the power to decide which protests have happened Enough Now and don't need to be heard from anymore thank you very much. It will be fine. When Reform get in they will be even more Sensible about all this.

Home Office could outright ban protests that risk ‘intimidation’ or ‘serious disruption’
The Home Secretary is considering giving police new powers to ban protests

I emailed the Daily Express regarding their factually inaccurate article about Patricia Routledge.
I included as much evidence as I could that the quotes were fake.
This was their response.
Having reviewed the article, the publication is satisfied that it distinguishes between comment, conjecture and fact, by citing that the quotes come from Jay Speaks.

Folks have been asking me which of the currently available UK #COVID vaccines are best, given that an older flavour, "KP2" is being given free on the NHS to the twelve or so people that remain eligible (😜🙄), whilst the newer "LP8.1" is available privately...

I'll do my best...

This is more like it.

In Clacton, average wage is a little over minimum. My kid's nursery gives away free fresh produce and milk to struggling parents. Affordable housing is virtually non-existent. And this clueless millionaire isn't doing ANY constituency work for his pay! Keep at him on finances.

Are you exhausted by the world? Come take refuge in my weird and wonderful corner of #Bluesky - where I post medical history content that will make you happy to live in 2025!

Medieval urine wheels! Opium toothpaste! Cemetery guns! I got it all. I love sharing my passion for this niche subject.

But it comes up all the time, with vehemence, like climate footprints (pushed by BP) a decade ago.

p.s. This is a request for responses from people who actually know. @emorwee.bsky.social?

One way in which my Tumblr experience remains superior to my Bluesky one is that it's the former which reminded me that today is #StanislavPetrovDay.

I am currently working on a set of captions for a show with different birdsong at different times and trying to get the balance right between a) correct and b) not scaring people who don’t care so much.
