MUTUAL AID REQUEST on behalf of my coworker who is a single Black mom w/ several medical emergencies regarding her kids in the last few months - her son DJ is collecting for a kidney transplant (he is 14 and has ESRD) and her family could use any help you're willing to spare ♥️ gofund.me/1048ed701

Good to see this argument being made more now after two decades of me repeating "but it's a labour market problem" while feeling like I'm banging my head against a wall.

John Burn-Murdoch@jburnmurdoch.ft.com

New from me: Britain’s graduate earnings premium is falling, cue “too many go to university!” But non-university outcomes are also bad, cue “we must reform vocational routes!” Both miss the point: people used to think education drove economic outcomes, but the economy drives educational outcomes.

It's driving me insane. The govt spends £1.4 trillion a year. Borrowing estimates are often by tens of billions over a year. But we're supposed to imagine money is budgeted to the last penny.

Karl Whelan@karlwhelan.bsky.social

Christ almighty. The British obsession with itemized “pay fors” for everything is insane. This is just really not how fiscal policy or government works anywhere functional.

I know it's only a PCC election with low turnout but 11% for a party that happily accepts neo-Nazis as members is really bad.

I feel Thursday could be a test of Cowley's Law of By-Election Analysis: that too much attention is paid to who wins. Also, Cowley's rarely used Supplementary Law of By-Election Analysis: too much attention can be paid to who comes third.

Lobbyist / ex Tory MP Ben Howlett has been done by an undercover sting. As ever, the most revealing thing is how very very cheap it is buy access in British media/politics — and especially how Howlett controls one of the biggest UK pol Twitter accounts! democracyforsale.substack.com/p/breaking-o...

Agree with every word of this We've gone from 9% of social care staff coming from outside the UK and EEA in 2021/22 to almost 25% in 2024/25 The govt has no near-term replacement It means either: 1) staffing shortages or 2) councils spending far more to attract staff, with no extra funding

Nuffield Trust@nuffieldtrust.org.uk

The large drop in immigration seen in today's ONS data will likely have huge consequences for social care. The sector has been entirely reliant on care workers from overseas to meet growing demand. Read our statement from Researcher @cglobont.bsky.social 👇

Kevin Maguire: "If you're put up in a hotel & you get meals you get £10/wk.. all these terrible myths.. free iPads.. myths & lies have gone mainstream & we've got to challenge them.. we've gone back to the worst aspects of the 1970s where racism is becoming mainstream" Well said

There’s a great exchange in The Grapes Of Wrath where a farmer who’s been kicked off his land by a bank meets the guy getting paid peanuts to take it over. The guy is mewling like “well somebody was gonna do it if I didn’t!” and Steinbeck has such a beautiful, visceral, disdain for the character

“That’s all you can do, is learn and adapt,” said freelance writer Kiesha Richardson. “And I have some colleagues who are adamant about not working with AI. But I’m like, ‘I need money. I’m taking it.’” The WGA literally had a strike to prevent this & you should too www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...

The Prime Minister's X feed currently looks like an advertising platform for Reform's messaging. Distinctly aggressive dog whistles with highly racialised imagery designed to dehumanise and demonise people, and ignores protections guaranteed under international law into the bargain.

i often wonder about the question, what does writing mean to hsy? and what do stories mean to her? its interesting to compare her starting point to yjh in this regard i think. while yjh has no knowledge of and no interest in stories, hsy knows stories only too well and has become cynical about them
