"...the shift Illich was pointing at: from consumer to creator, from instrument to person, from transactional efficiency to convivial care. In a world still recovering from years of pandemic isolation & Zoom/Teams fatigue,maybe we need this more than we realise."

What if we stopped being mere consumers?

The next time you hear political shouting about defunding arts and humanities education, and creative degrees not offering good enough “value for money”, remember this letter.
Great culture can save lives. Literally.

Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

I wonder if it's time to retire the role of "political editor" altogether

Return most of the coverage to the Economics Editor, the Health Editor, the Home Affairs team & so on.

Leave the "who-said-what-to-whom" & "what-does-it-mean-for-the-polls" to others. The BBC doesn't need to foreground this.
Watched BBC 6 o clock news. Just a completely unserious broadcast. Chris Mason, acting like a children's entertainer, giving a prolonged impenetrable editorial. Not a whiff of informative content about the Budget or what it means for the country. Just playschool blah blah bollocks.

RIP Tom Stoppard—the most talented contemporary British playwright—also known as Tomáš Sträussler, born in Czechoslovakia and fled as a Jewish refugee to England in 1946. Freedom wasn’t only a theatrical device for him but something personal, and perhaps that’s what made all the difference.

One big risk to the OBR forecasts has already materialised -migration is falling more quickly than their projections and that will hit growth and tax revenue.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

A reminder, before the budget, that the UK has been facing the most severe trade stagnation in a generation. One big reason why the British economy hasn’t been growing.
