Really disappointing to see a Labour party used to persecute trans youth and pensioners alike. People say they want our vote and then just shit on us and wonder why many don't engage.
Really disappointing to see Bluesky so swiftly being used for angry broadcasting of short sentences just as X was.
People say they want to engage with MPs then just scream at us and wonder why many don’t engage. 🧵

Funeral for Tony Slattery
Tony's death was sudden and unexpected, and sadly he had not made any provisions for his funeral.

Folks at MIT Sloan looked at multiple studies of return to office (RTO) mandates & found they are lose-lose-lose. No reward from Wall Street for “getting tough,” an actual decrease in productivity & revenue, and loss of top talent. youtu.be/4ec_yZCWOCY...
RTO Mandates: Hard Truths for Leaders
After Amazon imposed a strict return-to-office policy that takes effect in January 2025, other companies followed suit. But are RTO mandates a way to boost productivity and charm Wall Street - or just a way to lose your best performers? In this short video, Brian Elliott, who has studied RTO mandate

Hilariously, I learn that the YouTuber who is FURIOUS he got a copyright strike for reading and showing my entire book on his channel - and is insistent that all knowledge should be free - is now selling the video on his Patreon for more than four times the cost of the actual Kindle book!

the most pernicious lie of reaganism/thatcherism is that every individual part of the world needs to be profitable. the idea of a “public good” is being lost.
in football terms, it’s like insisting every player on the pitch has to score, and getting rid of anyone who doesn’t.

I don't *want* a "town square" or a "debating forum" or "to hear all voices". I just want somewhere where I can talk with my friends about Doctor Who or the Beach Boys or whatever, easily avoid horrible people I don't want to talk to, and know that my friends are safe.

Many have asked for my take on this. So, is it another example of "I have concluded that my gut feelings are correct and I'm cherry picking 'evidence' to support it"?
Yes, yes it is

Just thinking about dad jokes I’ve made which have annoyed/embarrassed my children. For example in a restaurant I ordered a coke. The waitress asked if I wanted a pint or a half. I said “Better make it a half, I’m driving”. No one laughed, apart from me.

The Shipping Forecast seems to have several birthdays, but on the 1st of January BBC Radio 4 will be spending the day celebrating 100 years of it. I've just had a lovely evening sitting underneath Cutty Sark for the recording of a special episode of Front Row about it, to be broadcast on Jan 1st.
