This week I realised I think of HR like company cops: calmly do whatever they ask you & never seek help from them; they protect the company, not you. Assume whatever you tell them gets straight back to your boss. Got problems? Talk to your union & find allies among coworkers

“SPIES could be here” he thought, “I’ve never been in this embassy before. There could be SPIES anywhere.” The cool wind felt good against his suited chest. “I HATE SPIES” he thought.

We've seen over and over that poor people spend cash on solving their immediate problems

This is why I reckon giving cash bonuses directly to people is a more effective way to reduce the housing crisis than stupid plans to build more houses

Everyone shocked by the revelation that dodgy film critics often game Rotten Tomatoes by having two review sites - one positive, the other for their real views - clearly never read page 19 of Mel Campbell and I’s 2017 novel THE HOT GUY

I feel 1000 years old that this slip – it’s a petticoat! underwear! – is being written about as though it’s a “dress”

of course, I also went through the time-honoured youthful phase of wearing slips as dresses, and horrible 2000s fashions are back mylondon.news/lifestyle/fash…

Seems like best practice to pre-emptively google the salt-of-the-earth battlers who populate these Gazette Face sob stories

I just did a Google Ngrams comparison of 'hesitancy' and 'hesitance' – the former has grown much more common than the latter since the start of the C19th, but there was a weird peak in 'hesitancy' in 1919

Can anyone hypothesise what might have provoked this peak?
