I know it is a small thing in the scheme of things, but the thing that grates is that this (gestures expansively) demonstrates that every pious word we have read from Americans about their glorious constitution, free and fearless press, separation of powers, free speech, checks and balances has

What policy themed visitor trail would you do upon retirement? I would pilgrimage to visit the 100 Rishi Sunak outdoor chess sets around the country. I genuinely think it would be one of those fun random things that would take me to places I’d never otherwise go to

The Earth Centre (1st pic) has been gone ages - only lasted about 5 years.
It did clear an old colliery site though so the money wasn't totally wasted.
The NCPM in Sheffield didn't even make it to a year before closing. The building is currently empty and will probably be demolished.

Honestly, I have seen one of the big university stadia (since we drove out of our way to see it). Iffley Road is rather different

I actually think that paradoxically (*) the appearance of being funded by American religious weirdos would be much worse for reform than being funded by Putin to undermine Western democracy
(*) In the sense of "because people are stupid"

Obvious weird exception for a certain two cities and a sport either 8 (+1) on each team

And imagine trying to make Poundstretcher University 1st 11 (or 15) one of the top sporting attractions in some second tier midlands city

In all the chat about social media harm, I feel one particularly cooked group is overlooked: The weirdos who use Nextdoor as if it's another Facebook.

The fun thing is how much focus there is on kids and phones, vs the real problem with adults.

Yes, I don't see this working, I have never seen this working, I don't see why people think it might work

Idly wondering what a public health campaign on this would look like, and why stuff we tried for, eg, drink driving, isn't being used.

I bang on about this a lot: I think the combination of a global pandemic, underregulated internet/SM, collapse/corruption of trustworthy media, plus now unregulated genAI, is a wildly toxic environment for radicalisation & mental health. We see the results of that in our politics & lives every day

Everyone knows at least one person (normally, but not exclusively, a guy) whose gone properly mental due to net rabbit holes.
