We’re demanding that the NHS stops using Palantir’s toxic tech.
Find out if your local NHS Trust is using the software and say no to Palantir 👇

I just don't need to know what the Telegraph has written about Dungeons & Dragons. It's a newspaper for people who are frightened of samosas.

This wonderful Ancient Greek gold coin dates from late 5th-century BCE.
It was issued by the city of Akragas, today’s Agrigento, in Sicily.
The coin features a crab on the reverse, and an eagle standing on a rock, devouring a snake.These symbols were common designs on the coinage of Akragas.

Huge respect to the papers for finding both an 88 year old worried about the tax bill on her 6 bedroom Kensington house and a 20 year old fretting about only being able to save £12k a year tax free.
Top work all around. These are not easy case studies to find.

It was Downey who coined the phrase in the LEVERAGE writers room “future episodes do not win out over present episodes”. Trust me, you’ll have more ideas. You’ll die full of them.
WRITING TIP, something simple but it catches many of us out: if you have a great/fun idea for your story, *use it now*.
Don’t save your ideas for some nebulous other story you might write tomorrow. I promise you’ll have more.
Break your story’s status quo. Go a step further. Use the big idea.

Good luck forcing me off the pavement you fucking bin.
Just as you thought food delivery companies couldn't inflict any more misery on society:
Instead of using lowly-paid gig economy contractors to deliver groceries, they're replacing humans with robots, who, in turn, force humans off the pavement into road traffic.

Labour's growing authoritarianism is deeply sinister.
This week, they've:
- Swapped judges last minute in the high-profile Palestine Action ban review
- Proposed removing the right of trial by jury for most offences
- Planned to abolish appeals in the asylum system
