Road to Wigan Pier is a rant of a book. But it goes so hard on why it’s evil to begrudge the poorest simple pleasures.

Limited liability is one of our weird silences. It's a massive free gift society makes to plutocrats, seldom remarked upon, let alone contested.
Shareholders should have to buy limited liability, like any other insurance. The insurers would then be liable. 🧵

The British Podcast Awards featured a strange “glitch” that everyone found amusing; but has interesting implications. Most of the winners were upstairs in the cheap balcony seats, meaning there was a few minutes’ delay on almost EVERY award as the winners went down the back stairs to the stage. >>

Not only can I totally imagine this but now feel cheated that we missed out on Elvis' Disco period.

I often tell my dad about films and TV shows I think he'd like. I go into great detail, explaining the ideas, the plots and the twists. It's strangely comforting to talk him through Penn And Teller routines and Man On The Moon, things he might love if he was still alive.
