Just read John Harris in the Guardian on the collapse of the UK high street - and why Reform is feeding on the wreckage. It reads like a crime story. So let’s analyse it like TV detectives do: Means. Motive. Opportunity. 🧵

Yup, which is why everyone’s parents are now sat glued to Facebook with GB News on in the background. Being retired must be quite dull, but believing you’re freedom fighters in some sort of ideological Cold War? Well, that’s exciting…

Remember the site Second Life? It was partly defeated because people could build online fantasy worlds separate from reality just by using social media. There, they could become cleverer or more popular than reality. They could even build phantom crises in which they were expert. And so here we are

I've just done this with 3 sides of our badly installed UPVC lounge bay window and it's made a big difference to comfort. We had 56mph gusts this afternoon and only minor draughts inside. Plus it's so much quieter indoors now!

“If everyone who streamed All Hell on Spotify had done so using Tidal instead, we would have received an extra £31,847.38, which would double the amount we made from streaming of the album in this time period. Or if everyone used Apple Music it would have been £12,331 more.”

In all seriousness, this is an appalling way to make policy. A small group of people rushing through decisions they can’t possibly have thought through, just to make the numbers on a spreadsheet add up

A month ago I looked at what I called Labour's midlife crisis- an obsession with chasing socially conservative Reform-curious voters and ignoring groups of disaffected voters with social attitudes much closer to Labour voters. But some people thought there was method in their madness. Was there? 1/n

made this amazing illustration back in 2009 to make a point when I would argue with him about flash vs HTML. Seeing it again now and thinking how tailwind had been used to homogenise the aesthetic of so many sites and now it is in my head rent free.

It's shocking how much consensus there is amongst tax policy wonks and economists of Left and Right on the tax reforms the UK needs to boost growth & make the tax system fairer More shocking: they're reforms that are never mentioned by any politicians

Stop talking about wealth taxes — make these reforms instead
Any sane discussion of changes that both right and left could agree on is being crowded out by tax populism

The politics of local government is already not in a very good way and one reason for that - among others - is that it’s often a bunch of bald men squabbling over a comb. Local politicians often have no ability to make choices: because there’s *no money*. So you end up in a spiral

Hi, what are your thoughts on good floor coverings? Solid wood planks? I particularly dislike how few modern floor finishes (engineered wood etc)can be (easily) lifted for reuse or when emergency underfloor access is needed. At least floating laminate can be!

Here are the reasons for economic inactivity (not looking for work) in today's labour market stats. Most of the people who are not looking for work are, well, not looking for work for very good reasons. Why on earth would we report on them like it's a problem??

This is a very unhelpful article, and should be withdrawn imo. Of these "more than a fifth" of people not working... - 2.4 million are students - 1.1 million are retired! - 1.6 million are looking after home / family - 2.8 million are long-term sick

If only someone had predicted that the
#OnlineSafetyAct
was a hideous mess of an act that would be awful to implement and raise false hopes about what could actually be achieved. Oh yes. Pretty much every real expert did. But they passed it anyway.

It's almost as if the American nationalist evangelicals are rapidly evolving towards a belief system increasingly disconnected from the foundations of Christian or other monotheistic belief systems towards some form of neo-Roman emperor worship

Spent the day looking at peering, XGS-PON or GPON, and the rabbit hole of IPoE vs PPPoE (interesting UK anomaly). Yes, it's time to pick a CityFibre ISP. I really don't want to leave AAISP, but their CF pricing is £240/yr more than other semi-equivalent ISPs...
