it’s funny how when people who own big houses are alive they had nothing to do with its value, but when they die their kids shouldn’t have to pay any inheritance tax because they worked VERY hard all their lives for it

Felt like this when mortgage payments went up a few years ago - yes, it's horrible to now be paying an extra £200 a month, but that's been happening to renters year on year and there were no sadface articles on that, just "market forces" and "nobody has a right to live in a city"
This house tax pretending is making me more insane than usual because as a renter I’ve had to move every 1-3 years just as standard because rents always rise. And no one cares. House owners get a tiny fraction of that precarity and suddenly it’s the worst thing that’s ever happened

If you want to see the effects of imagining fantastic stories aren’t allegories of the human now, but literal magic windows into alternate future / past realities, look at all the dumb needless shit rich tech bros keep trying to invent cos it was in space fiction once.

- That house. That looks reasonable.
- I'm afraid you'll need to be a millionaire to own that one.
- Okay, that one.
- No. That's only for the rich too.
- That one? Surely that one? There's no roof and the toilet's just a hole.
- No. Only for the rich.

In related news, I'm looking for proofreading and copy editing work. Wouldn't you love to have sentences like the above in your work? Surely a mark of quality.

Hey all!

I'm urgently looking for an audio editing / sound design gig from now until end of January or ongoing if part-time.

I'm very experienced in voice editing (incl dialogue in film) and I love doing sound design for audio drama. Here's my reel.

Happy 50th birthday, Protect and Survive! A booklet full of bogus advice and a PIF series that was thankfully never shown (if it had, we'd have been hurtling towards a nuclear war), it still holds a special place in our hearts...

This is another thing I had to cut from my piece - the minimum wage is best understood as an anti-poverty measure *for single or childless couples at the start of their working lives*. But it's not a lever that helps most people struggling to make ends meet. Only cash transfers do that.
Why the two-child limit has to go, in a chart.

the internet has decided that em-dashes are a hallmark of llm writing, which is *extremely* annoying to me, as someone who uses em-dashes all the time.

dear internet please consider the possibility that LLMs use em-dashes a lot because they're, like, good

How we do pensions and retirement income in this country is predicated on a few assumptions, one of which is that old people have minimal housing costs and/or security of tenure. It's not happening anymore, and will get worse.

Indeed, and a lot of people aged c43 are going to retire without secure housing, higher levels of renting retirees are baked in at this point.

A fantastic listen.
Just listened to JODRELL BANK AT 80 from Radio 4 (now on BBC Sounds).
This is a *wonderful* prog celebrating JB & Bernard Lovell, with fab interviews & archive stuff.
Hannah Peel is a great presenter, suitably awestruck by the telescope, & her specially-written piece is hauntingly beautiful...

Brilliant stories told using archive from the BBC and beyond

Currently doing some marking. A reminder to everyone involved in archives and collections: digitisation is not preservation. If I digitise a box of records and put the files on a USB stick I haven't preserved a thing. It's all about what you do with the files post-digitisation. #archives #digipres

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.
