Hereditary peers to be removed from Lords as bill passes The bill abolishes the 92 seats reserved for peers who inherit their titles through their families.

Ok, but now do the 26 unelected CoE (arch)bishops that make up the Lords Spiritual. No one should get a place in the House of Lords just because they are a CoE bishop, especially not when other religions don't get this privilege.

British man charged in Dubai for alleged filming of Iranian missiles Foreign Office officials are understood to be supporting his family.

All those silly influencers who avoid paying UK tax cuz Dubai is so much 'safer'. There is a reason and it is their harsh laws. Criticism of the government is illegal, filming the missiles heading towards Dubai is cybercrime.

Or maybe the AI podcast type summaries are stylistically based on such content. 😂

I don't think others can see your saves. I believe that is private. I just saved your post.

what you've quoted there sounds very much like AI podcast summary...

I suspect if we do so in fountain pen and an old style hand it might fetch higher bids?

Can we over-annotate our own copies of our books and resell them for more profit?

Asking for a friend.

I think students learning to conform to a style guide's idiosyncrasies is a valuable life skill. Just like essay writing isn't cuz the essay needs to be written, style guides aren't because we care about whether that should be a fullstop or a comma. They'll always be conforming to others briefs.

All content creation is retrospective, even if the creators don't recognise it.

Watching the news of Montana Khameni being made new Supreme Leader of Iran and some British commentators seem to think that it is weird that the head of state is also the head of the national religion.

umm...

Still wrong hours later. Does @news.sky.com not actually read their own headlines?

Dear @news.sky.com, I know it is breaking news but it has been up there for hours.

Please employ proofreaders for your news ticker headlines!!

Basic typos should be caught by basic spellchecking!

Well, I'm more interested in Margery Kempe, as long as I don't need to be in a room with her.

But I hate that she must have seen the York Plays and says nothing about it.

"all shall be well, all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well"

I tried explaining the importance of this to my students and they just looked at me bored and their seminar discussion was very cynical.

And I'm sure it will end any day soon...

I assumed it was because of the general shifts in scholasticism around then.

But as an early drama person my 'late-medieval' goes well into the 16thC.
