A 15 year old made fun of a local councillor on Facebook—photoshopped bunny ears on him, said he dressed like a “rent boy,” etc. So the councillor reported the kid to UK police and he was arrested.
The councillor: “I was targeted by a child I had no way of dealing with.”

One small way to support freelancers as we enter the end of the year: tell them about how their projects performed. Was their article one of the most-read on your site? Did their writing help products sell?

Actress Susan Sarandon being arrested earlier today for protesting Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations. One is speaking out against genocide, one is committing it. One was arrested, one was not.

People who become right wing because they get annoyed by leftists are weak willed, most leftists are annoyed by leftists every single day.

Its terrible that this country now is built to extract every dollar people make so that billionaires can measure each other's yachts.

Italian wizards do exist, but by the time they figure things out they have cast spells accidentally while speaking normally and wiped themselves out.

Kobo quietly changed its Price Match Guarantee. It still credits the price difference if you find the same ebook cheaper elsewhere, but the extra 10 percent is gone. 📉
Kobo no longer beats competitor prices. It matches them.

people aren't ready to accept that "literary fiction" is actually the place for: "genre stories that break load-bearing genre conventions." a mystery that isn't solved? a romance that peters out into melancholy? a science that isn't fictioned??

And this month @JSTOR has reduced its monthly allowance of free articles by 90%, from 100 to 10. Why? Meanwhile, the local library has got rid of they physical runs of almost every journal "because they're on JStor anyway". So spend your rationed curiosity wisely, dear reader....
