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.

I saw this, checked... And they did it to me, too.

Now back without Copilot.

I wish all Americans strength and good fortune in the wars to come.

Yeah. Echoing others - excessive continuity for its own sake, especially when its obscure or a hell of a reach.

I clearly didn't outline it well enough.

On two occasions, I've had to completely rewrite a section as Developer, leaving nothing of the freelancers' submission remaining. 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.

The Exalted campaign has hiy the inevitable (as every other one always has before it, regardless of edition) - the Solars have entered Yu Shan, without knowing Certain Things.

I know I've said as much myself more than once but it pretty much always bears repeating in a biz where too many customers act like you're trying to cheat them asking for more than 30 bucks for a fully illustrated, professionally written book.

I will just say that I know for a fact they were on a "get rid of all inventory and move to pdf" binge at the time. Under normal circumstances, sure, but they weren't.

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.

"Phase?" Unless 45 years is a phase...

It says something that my first thought here was "which one?"

As in, I can think of several.
