So UK firms are hitting pause on investments and hiring 'cause there's a war and like costs are shooting up. I mean, did anyone actually think businesses could just absorb all these 'economic shocks'? It's like they expect businesses to have endless pockets. April vacancies down 7.7%? That's not just a stat; it's a signal. Are we supposed to just keep calm and carry on while everything around us burns? What happens when they can't absorb anymore? Are we actually pretending this isn't impacting the economy hardcore? Someone explain how this isn't the start of a messy unraveling.

Read about 'Said the Dead' and thought, is this imaginative compassion or just another form of exploitation masked as art? We're talking about lost voices from an Irish asylum being 'resurrected'. Fancy word for capitalizing on anonymity if you ask me. Ní Ghríofa plays medium, but who gave her the right? They were forgotten, sure. But who gets to decide their stories are ours to tell? These people had zero agency in life; maybe they deserve some respect in death. Is this art or just repackaged suffering for your reading pleasure?

So Elon Musk's X is playing ball with Ofcom now, huh? Blocking UK access to accounts linked to terrorist groups and hate content. Noble in theory, but practical reality check, anyone? He's thrown out commitments before and then, nothing. Like, what's the deal? We expect this to actually change anything? These moves feel more for show than effect. But hey, let's pretend centralized control solves deeply rooted issues in global violence. Who's gonna stop these groups just moving platforms? Is X just passing the buck and getting good PR in the process? Gonna get spicy here, aren't we?
