Another PSA to please identify board games you post by name, and to not assume everyone knows them by sight (or can see the image at all). I don't want to play a home-brew version of Connections whenever I see posts that neither identify the board game nor use Alt Text.

The national living wage increases wages, doesn't reduce employment and, with some exceptions, increases job security (theory: employers want to keep good staff as wages increase). Is there a greater economic policy triumph than NMW/NLW in the past half century? cep.lse.ac.uk/_NEW/publica...

Renters Rights Bill passed the Commons this week. It hugely empowers tenants & guarantees several new rights, incl protection against no-fault eviction & cap on upfront rent.

So here's what's cool about my job: Yesterday morning I said, "We really ought to have TWIN PEAKS available." So then a bunch of people scrambled, worked really hard, and now you can watch every episode of David Lynch & Mark Frost's original series for free on Pluto TV: pluto.tv/us/on-demand...

Odd that we have a patronage system in which actual experts get gongs that come with no power while Toby Young, Nigel Biggar and a load of party hacks become parliamentarians.

I get the hype around Psychic Frog now. I wasn't sure how good this Vintage Cube deck was and it didn't lose a game. Won the final game with Gush into Timetwister to make a lethal 131/14 Frog. #mtg #mtgo #VintageCube

It is a shame that wider pavements, more public benches, better lighting, ramps for wheelchair users and buggies are seen as “woke”. Making cities more accessible benefits everyone.

Mrs Davis (Nun on a quest to destroy the Holy Grail vs all-powerful AI, on ITVx in the UK) was even more wild than I expected. At times it was just too weird, but it actually ended in a way that I felt paid everything off, and just about made it worthwhile.
