Really hoping they can (along with the new-look leftward-leaning Lib Dems) push the conversation meaningfully towards investing in the environment that future generations will have to live in.

It's great that, with a slight change in intonation, "chocolate factory" can sound like a factory that makes chocolate or a factory made out of chocolate. I can demonstrate if necessary.

Excellent article. As a primary teacher, I can see a way to introduce the concept of sortition through e.g. choosing the members of the school council via lottery. Knowledge and experience of these concepts at a young age can only be a good thing.

There are a group of people who have become completely detached from the actual physical planet they live on, and they are hoarding the made-up stuff that we could use to create a liveable future.

I still can't believe there's a "minister for common sense" - but given its existence, McVey is a great choice. She strikes me as someone who would need common sense explained to them by a governing body.

Sunak and Braverman have done what they always do, whether it’s Net Zero or homelessness. They try to ramp up division and see if they can profit from it. And now they're doing the same on Israel/Palestine inews.co.uk/opinion/the-...

I second this recommendation. Great podcast, if a little too sweary. The episodes about how "nice, normal people" in 1930s Germany became Nazis are mind-blowing.

My very first album is now out! It is called "Well Et Do Ass" which is Luxembourgish for "because it is there". Follow the link in my bio for various streaming listenables. It's at the low, poppy end of the mathrock spectrum btw x

My 8-year-old just told me she's going to write a book called "Basically boys, technically girls". She hasn't got further than the title, but my interest is piqued.
