In 2024, Bet 365's CEO got a salary - not total package, just salary - of £94.7m.
A lot of people have to lose their bets to pay that.
We should be MASSIVELY curtailing betting, not promoting it further. It's a cancer in society.

You may have missed this gem yesterday. From which we learn that:
1. Betting shops are really good for the mental health of isolated people.
2. Most drug-takers are not a problem.
3. Kids put tuppence in slot machines in the hope of getting rich.
4. Farage probably has a gambling industry donor.

Every time I'm so alarmed at the sorry state of basic US civic education that I'm inspired to write a book about how the federal government works—I know exactly what and how I'd write; not a desk-reference tome, not a dummies—I remember that it's because so many folks won't read we're where we are.

Eldest has just shocked me, and I’m not easily shocked.
On the radio in the car, Absolute are giving away £625,000 this Friday.
Eldest likes their designer stuff very much. I asked, “if you won the £625,000, what would you do?”
“Move abroad.”
This generation understand.

Fighting climate change is anything but futile, even at this late stage
Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.
Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

We already know that in these difficult times, the world's most famous street artist has chosen Ukraine.
Art as resistance. Art as solidarity. Art as voice.
When the world watches, artists speak.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

As a lawyer I'm seeing a lot more redundancies in 2025. I can't stress this enough, if you are being made redundant - GET A FUCKING LAWYER. I keep hearing of people getting unfair consultations and being ripped off in their redundancy packages. We would have spotted them for you.

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!
Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

1. This is a thread on freedom, and how easy it is to lose.
Over the past 2,000 years in Europe, there have been few periods and places of freedom. For much of the time we lived under highly oppressive tyrannies of various kinds, whether small or grand, local or imperial, secular or religious.🧵
