#TeamRE who likes stats?

Work less, drink beer, play racing sims and listen to amazing music most people fail to appreciate? Definitely up for continuing my long-term trial...

The right wing think tank, Policy Exchange, has released a big report today recommending young people on PIP “be required to look for work, to volunteer or be engaged in training.” Only one problem: PIP is not an out of work benefit. policyexchange.org.uk/publication/...

#Cardiacs went unrecognised for far too long. The growth of 'reaction videos' has brought their music to wider attention, particularly in the States. Listen to the sage advice this man offers, it might just change your life... youtu.be/t4FYpquRtOc?...

“That a Labour government is seemingly willing to sacrifice poor and disabled people’s benefits in order to protect the wealthy and healthy from paying a bit more tax feels at best perverse and, at worst, a betrayal.” My col. in tomorrow’s paper. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Something I wrote when the fire alarm went off this morning: Halfway up the stairs is the stair where I sit, The fire alarm went off & I cannot use the lift, Don't know if I'm in danger or if someone burnt their toast, My life being so worthless is the thing that hurts the most.

Anatomy of songs. No lazy formulas for #Cardiacs Once you 'get it' everything else is bland.

If you have a Microsoft 365 licence and have noticed the addition of Copilot then be aware that they're charging you extra. You need to request to cancel your subscription before they give you the ability to opt out of Copilot. You can then choose the subscription you originally ordered 😡

88% of low-income households who receive disability benefits were going without the essentials in the 6 months to Oct 📢 59% had to take out a loan to cover the cost of essentials. 53% were in arrears. Our COL tracker: www.jrf.org.uk/cost-of-livi... Anushka Asthana on @itvpeston.bsky.social

#TeamRE could do with being made case sensitive. It would filter out irrelevant stuff like TeamRed and TeamRevolution.
