I heard some tech bro ranting on the news today about how the DEI era of alphabetti spaghetti labels was over, and we should just get back to plain speaking.

I then saw his title and it was 'CRO'. And it did occur to me that it was somewhat ironic that C- Suite titles had grown exponentially, and that 'C- Suite' must now be a very crowded room.

I asked AI to come up with a list and heres what it gave. Time for 'plain speaking' indeed and time to trim down the c- Suite!!

Any others examples you guys have seen?

Like most new cars have surround cameras now as parking aids, so why do they not install them as standard?

Instead of us having to buy them as afterthoughts and have dangling wires?

But didn't see any new cars in standard range we looked at that had them.

Is it a cost issue? Insufficient demand?

Not being funny - i need my dash cam daily - I dont need heated seats.

Was just watching Sky News and its host said something snidy about the 'nationalists' in Scotland.

Decided to do some digging and what the f ... he's on the Advisory Council of 'These Islands'.

How is this allowed?

For smaller publications, how do you practically manage/ prepare for litigation threats and cease and disist letters?

We are a start up , team of 2, practically no budget.

We have taken out a basic public liability insurance but this is enough in your experience?

Right from the offset, we had a couple of nasty experiences where (even though we were reporting positively on a business), we got some aggressive phone calls and letters. Its made us somewhat wary and are now self-censuring/ over thinking.

(Not wary of confrontation and reporting the facts, wary of having to pay out thousands in legal fees!)

Any tips appreciated!
