    The other interesting but useless fact is that silk top hats (which as the article points out supersede beaver as the fibre of choice) are no longer made - and the technique for ma…

    Please do this yes! A well-meant blog post written by a human - however "amateurish" you might feel it is - is probably going to be better than clunky AI nonsense. And remember, wh…

    I don’t really understand the point of this. Scrivener has a revision history. Even google docs have versioning. And if you’re writing seriously you’ll know that your first draft o…

    "Coordinated attack" might raise more than eyebrows with the legal departments of the companies you've called out. >Over the next 27 hours, in four distinct waves, all of them trie…

    I’m not if this is satire. If so, well done because you’ve written something about a “business” that is quite literally based on crap. It’s not a “real business” by any stretch of …

    “Gypsies” are a race of people. “Junkies” and homeless people are, at an individual level, not. Homeless people and drug addicts may well be victims of circumstance or victims of s…
