“‘On Becoming a Cop Hater’ remains the only one of Didion’s Saturday Evening Post columns never republished in her essay collections. Why did she choose to shed it?” —Scott Saulwww.dispatchesmag.com

Good morning lovely people 💕💕
Happy Sunday to you all
Had a good day at the shop yesterday although I didn't manage a full shift, still not feeling 100%
Off out with the local #greenparty 💚 this morning, we're helping out at a local #sheep 🐑 rescue sanctuary. Followed by lunch at the nearby pub. It should be a good morning. I hope it doesn't rain 🌧️ too much.
I think the afternoon may be spent in recovery 🤣🤣
Sending massive love and hugs to you all

Von der Leyen: Serbia can count on EU support on its path to membership
by AI | 12.Dec 2025 | Europe in brief AIBYTESEU (Bytes Europe)
If there is hope for film-making, it is somewhere else.
Hollywood has long become a mere industry
in the "dark Satanic mills" sense.
And to repeat the well-known, monopolies and oligopolies are BAD.
But it has all been said before.
If I had the time, I would watch again
The Player
and
S1m0ne
and then to cheer myself up,
François Truffaut's
Day for Night
("American Night", La Nuit Américaine).
"Ars Gratia Artis",

erp systems make a lot of claims and are very inspecific about what they do. but it looks like they're just spreadsheets with some forms on top.
i guess half the budget goes in to obfuscating how simple most business logic really is. all the money goes in to scaling it. lmao
@strypey i mean it explains why so many people get away with using airtable for a long time.
most businesses that haven't been regulated to hell barely need anything out of the forms layer.
> most businesses that haven't been regulated to hell barely need anything out of the forms layer
You're completely ignoring UX. Regulation has no more to do with the existence of ERP interfaces than it does the existence of GNU/Linux desktop environments.
