Very much enjoyed speaking the Lords Science & Technology committee yesterday with @david_joffe, although watching back I moved my hands so much it looks like I was encouraging the Lords to guess which cup the energy system was under. Here's a brief summary of what I said. /1
Men often struggle with this because their identity may be rooted in just being a "normal dude," so they see any outfit that deviates from some middle-class uniform as "cosplay." But do you think a frog actually herds cattle?
"If a “great” leader is one who changes things, for better or not, this is an administration of mumbling, tongue-tied greatness." ft.com/content/82d0f0… Being extremely articulate is quite uncorrelated with administrative achievement - in US and UK

There is important context to the government's Rwanda plan and its electoral consequences: it has to overcome substantial public negativity about how the issue has been handled since 2019.
Twenty years since central and eastern Europe joined the EU. It's been a huge success, with the annual pay gap with western Europe falling from $25,000 to $15,000, and more than five million people migrating over the borders that were closed under the Iron Curtain.
Looking at the MRPs, I'd set these benchmarks for Reform in the non-council contests: Blackpool South: 15% Derbyshire PCC: 13% East Mids CA: 13% Gr London: 6% Gr Mancs: 10% Lincolnshire PCC: 18% North East CA: 13% West Mids CA: 11%

What would be the effect in terms of seats of Farage returning to the fray? If you think he might double the number of Conservative to Reform switchers (from a tenth to a fifth), that might mean 60-80 seats fewer for the Tories, I reckon ...
I too am willing to accept £3,000 from the government to fly to Rwanda. The week of the 3rd would work, so long as I can be back here on the Friday. But I'm flexible.
"Studies have found that about 10% of those on minimum wages, from barbers to waiters, face similar restrictions." A tenth of *minimum wage* employees being on non-competes is incredible. economist.com/finance-and-ec… from The Economist
In an interview with Barron's, a person with no special insight into the matter repeated a common speculative cliche about the impact of AI. We decided to tell you so that you got the impression that if you give us money you will find out important stuff from us.

@t0nyyates I’d like to say I learned BASIC on my BBC Micro but really I just played a shit-ton of Chuckee-Egg.
Learned BASIC on the ZX81 and then ZX Spectrum, and Pet Computer. 10 learn latest cool language to finally sort everything 20 GOTO 10.
I learnt BASIC in 1991 (at age 8) on our Amstrad CPC 464, so apparently I was a late adopter. I graduated to C 3 years later (that this is 30 years ago makes me feel old), but knowing BASIC is still useful for the odd bit of VBA.

@Gilesyb When it comes to Obama’s record and this argument that Biden’s record is better, this is a strong counter from @jonathanchait. Obama’s presidency led to significant legislative achievements, and unlike Biden’s an actual expansion of welfare in the ACA. nymag.com/intelligencer/…
Men often struggle with this because their identity may be rooted in just being a "normal dude," so they see any outfit that deviates from some middle-class uniform as "cosplay." But do you think a frog actually herds cattle?

I honestly don’t think this is parody. But so, so much to enjoy in this. There’s Gary’s face looking delighted; Trump looking like death. And the picture of Melania looking - well nothing like Melania. Happy Mayday
It was an honor to give President Trump my latest artwork of our beautiful first lady Melania, and I hope it brings him as much joy on his bedroom walls as it did ours!
Just went on Sky News to talk about PMQs and it went fine but if you turn it on now you’ve missed it.
Twenty years since central and eastern Europe joined the EU. It's been a huge success, with the annual pay gap with western Europe falling from $25,000 to $15,000, and more than five million people migrating over the borders that were closed under the Iron Curtain.

2040: Britain rejoins Freedom of Movement due to public clamour to allow Britain's young to seek jobs in rich countries, like Poland, the Baltics, and Slovenia.
Polish PM Donald Tusk promises that Poles will be richer than Brits in 2029 as he says 'it's better to be in the EU!' The promise comes on the 20th anniversary of Poland's accession to the EU in 2004 as he sets the target date for his promise for 25th anniversary in 2029
