Really specific historical question: please help me historians and perhaps lawyers. Google and the other sources I’m using currently will not get specific enough for my needs.
What would be an average solicitor’s fee per day in the uk for a personal injury lawsuit in 1860?

@clairehopple Easy, the first 86 pages are the intro by some other author, and then there’s gotta be at least 140 pages of analysis by another, different author after the story is done.

@Gundamhufflepu1 @zerospams The power imbalance has nothing to do with their gender. He is her boss. Employee/boss relationships are a workplace violation. It’s nothing to do with morality. If she were a man it would be a violation. If both of them were single it would be a violation.

Three key things EVERYONE needs to know:
1. This is still just merest beginnings of climate breakdown
2. It's irreversible, best we can do is halt it at whatever level it gets to
3. It's caused by the fossil fuel industry, which has been lying and blocking action for decades

@josh_travnik Ulysses is a play in the middle for a bit and then it goes back to being Ulysses. That’s about as close as I’ve ever gotten.

Can't believe they are going to make a MAN queen. This woke nonsense has gone too far.

[PUNS @ThePunnyWorld]

I can’t remember how to write 1, 1000, 51, 6, and 500 as Roman numerals!

IM LIVID.

@TalkScaredPod The visceral image of the spoons crusted with blood and snot has done more to scare me off hard drugs than any other anti drug messaging ever.

@TalkScaredPod 1. On Writing, 2. The Long Walk, 3. The Shining, 4. Carrie, 5. The Stand. On Writing is one of the best books I’ve EVER read. He has such love for what he does and he communicates that so well.

The dangers of climate change are mounting so rapidly that they could soon overwhelm the ability of both nature and humanity to adapt unless greenhouse gas emissions are quickly reduced, according to a UN report by 270 researchers from 67 countries. https://t.co/JvRrFLKJwv

@greatislander My pal went with “untie” and I’ve also heard “nuncle” a few times - bonus, you get to sound Shakespearean.

@AddyPottle Have you seen The House on Netflix? Not quiiiiite horror but it definitely lives in the world of the odd and the uncomfortable, especially the first story.

I mean breakups suck in a lot of ways, but the part of me that loves cancelled plans is always THRILLED. Breaking up is the ultimate in cancelled plans. A whole lifetime’s worth of things you no longer have to compromise or worry about.

@RajahMaggay I LOVE ZenniOptical. They’re so affordable that I can buy many pairs, but I’ve had my 3 for about a year and a half and they’re still like new.

@kennethoppel @alexiskienlen Thank you SO much for this series. One of my absolute favorites as a child. I read it so often my copies fell apart. I always thought it was so cool how you didn’t include any colors!!

[Calla Wright @CallaWright]

@wherewereweb4 @jesflres Me too! Triple vaxxed, work in retail, (not quite “essential”, but I have worked in person the entire pandemic so 🤷‍♀️)… I just had my first big close contact scare, but I lucked out… still no COVID.

cancelling dostoyevsky because of putin is like killing an old woman with an axe because you are going through existential angst
