There isn't a story on the BBC News site about today's trans rights rally at Parliament Square where it's estimated 20k attended. But they did have a story last week about the Let Women Speak transphobe rally in Bristol where 100 people attended.

Now back without Copilot.
I wish all Americans strength and good fortune in the wars to come.

I paid them anyway, because here's the thing - if a writer can't understand what I need from them even after the redline, that's *my* fault.

They also stopped doing physical comp copies around that time.
I once received comp copies of a book I didn't work on that had a similar title to one I did. Like an idiot, I gave them back the next convention I went to. I'm pretty sure they went in the garbage.

It is 2020. I have just started a new role in the organisation I eventually wound up in, after a year-long struggle to implement an overly-ambitious ePM.
It is 2025. I am reading an overly-ambitious implementation plan for an ePM to replace the 2020 one.

It is 2010. I am reading an overly-ambitious ePM (Enterprise Project Management) implementation plan with deep sceptisism.
It is 2015. I am freshly redundant after the ePM that got brought in years after the 2010 ePM was abandoned midway turned out to do my job for me.

A note for American followers ;what actually happened in Parliament today was that Labour succeeded in protecting a bill (aimed at protecting children) from being killed off by opportunistic Tory addition of yet another inquiry adding to existing inquiries they failed to act on.

As in, I can think of several.
Everyone's just gonna skip them when playing it anyway!
