Just found out some excellent news- landlords must provide evidence of they want to make deductions from your deposit if you disagree (and raise a dispute). Essential evidence is a check in and check out inventory.

A perfect illustration of the difference between justification and motivation. Saving money was how they justified the policy--how they persuaded voters to let them make this change. The real motivation was arguably to erode public institutions and bolster private ones. A much less palatable aim.

Arizona, the model for voucher programs across the country, has spent so much money paying private schoolers' tuition that it's now facing hundreds of millions in budget cuts to critical state programs and projects.

Anyone know why Trump's bandage is on his hair?

The real danger is not Trump, who is unlikely to last very long but this very tricky individual who appears to say anything in order to get into power and does not have the ability to stand up to his monied backers. www.theguardian.com/politics/art...

The thing with getting away from a very stressful job for awhile is that it reminds you that none of it actually matters in the least, which is another reasons corporations in America are loathe to give us time off. You remember it's all made up and meaningless.

If you come across it, and this sounds like a joke but isn’t, try to play Tetris within 30 minutes. Something about it works like EMDR and helps the brain process the traumatic input. There are versions for mobile, switch, computer- just about every platform.

Some pretty graphic images of the corpse of the shooter going around social media. Heads up. I've seen a lot of images of death and brutality over the years from following news on war zones but this still made me wince. It's not a pretty sight. Try to avoid it.

Wear a mask. Even if you just start popping one on at the store, on the metro, in meetings at work, at your job when someone else is in a mask. Any additional masking slows the spread and makes it more possible for people like me to be in public places. You don't have to be perfect, every bit helps.

10000% the real miss is all the art we're never going to get from women who were abused right out of their craft. so many of those women won't even create for themselves anymore.

Hot take: I'm truly not interested in hand wringing over how much people will miss enjoying the books of men who have turned out to be abusers. I'm far more concerned about the missing art that women haven't been able to create/publish because they crossed paths with such men.

Must be a very weird time for teens to realise yes, actually, Labour can win an election and England men could actually win a major trophy. What’s going to be Starmer’s version of Cool Britannia?

Will never forget how many friends encouraged me to do more activity when I started crashing with severe fatigue (and what I hadn't realised at the time was PEM). I'm very fortunate that I'm stubborn and believe my body, because I could have really been harmed by good intentions

Everybody knows Cass got a peerage because her report fit exactly what the government wanted; had her report aligned with the medical consensus and indicated any respect for trans children it’s 100% certain she wouldn’t have received it. Quid pro quo.

"Keep the far right at by by capitulating entirely and doing all the things they want to do". Yeah, cheers Tonty, great advice, now fuck off back into whatever deep sea thermal vent it is you've managed to escape from.

Got a jumpscare checking the news this morning.

Sir, this is a Marxist platform centrists are generously allowed to post on.

well, the marxists have arrived so that area's a little spicy in light of the election but otherwise it's still pretty smooth here

Somehow, SOMEHOW, I am surprised that I've been knackered for the past two days. Apparently I thought I'd get over staying up for the election in like, one night's sleep. Eternal optimist 🙄
