Some news! From July I'll be shifting to full-time freelancing ahead of my return to the UK next year. If you or any friends, colleagues, or nemeses have any need of creative support, including design, writing, and creative project planning, I'd love to have a chat. Portfolio here: robinwilde.me

Not only do I hate this, I also hate that I recognise the Seattle bus livery well enough to know where this is.

As you may know we're leaving Canada in three months, and so to cap our time here in style we're embarking on a 6,000km road trip today - off to sunny Halifax, Nova Scotia via some distinctly not-sunny places.
Will we freeze to death? Will we have enough laundry? How's my French? Updates to follow.

I had a nightmare last night that I was at this conference representing the Blairite faction, and now I kind of wish I was.

After I get married next year I will be a distant relative of two-time London mayoral loser Steven Norris, so I am on standby for quotes should he fancy a third go.

So interesting what sets off the Different And Therefore Wrong instinct among British liberals. The delivery robots this time, from people who would agree that delivery gig work is often terrible and exploitative, that Britain's productivity is low, and that our infrastructure needs upgrading.

Not enough big P politics in it for me but you should watch Prime Minister, the documentary about Jacinda Ardern, even if it will massively bum you out

I strongly recommend anyone who reads and writes all day learn a foreign language, particularly one from a different language family. It's super instructive in how it feels to *not* be very literate, and I feel our current circumstances make that an important insight.

Administratively it's obviously a good idea. Burnaby is, very clearly, part of Vancouver and should be administered as such. Politically, I'm less keen. Probably the solution is something like giving the Regional District more powers and abolishing some of the sillier councils (Anmore, Belcarra).

Listening to the Obra Dinn soundtrack and waiting for just enough of it to trickle out of my memory that I can play it again. Although that does mean having to identify the Topmen again.

Happy Moving Out Day to all who celebrate. Excited to see what we'll get randomly charged $500 for this time. Some dust in the corner? A thumbprint on a window, mayhaps?

And honestly I don't give a fuck if it's popular or not. It's going to make a lot of kids' lives better. That's the point of government. Not an opinion poll.

I think we underestimate how addictive bad news is for people who consume it.
boy there seems to be a bottomless appetite for dogmatic economic pessimism on video platforms. clicked on one of those during the morning Zwift and now my youtube feed is WE'RE DOOMED re the stock market, jobs, car market, inflation, AI on and on

The government needs to focus on making people feel better off by the end of the parliament. However I do worry this kind of question reads as "You've decided you don't like the government's vibes. Would you like to say it's for a reason nobody can gainsay without looking mean?"
On the eve of the Autumn Budget, our latest polling finds that *over half* of 2024 Labour voters who are 'finding it difficult' economically have now switched parties.
17% now back the Greens, and a further 17% back Reform.

Gilmore Girls went from a quirky gentle comedy with a cast of unique characters to ruthlessly turning all of the above into fuel for the Melodrama Machine.
while I am posting trivia, which TV show do you think showed the sharpest fall in quality from first to last seasons? I ask because the answer is obviously The Morning Show, the last series of which was garbage

Very pleased with this puzzle I've made for our Thanksgiving escape room tomorrow.
Players think getting through the maze is a language puzzle, but it's not - directions are given in a language which is written in the direction being given.
I had one hell of a time finding down-to-up languages!
