True devolution has never been tried: we should get rid of the House of Commons _building_, make MPs live in their own constituencies, and have them vote remotely, so they live in & actually care about improving the areas they are supposed to represent, rather than the South East

Prigoose: your PDF→ChatGPT→e-reader pipeline is now obsolete. Shipped today — EPUBs on Gumroad purchases get a "Read" button: in-browser reader, text resize (70-200%), light/sepia/dark themes, arrow-key page flips, reading position synced across devices. Sellers get nudged to attach an EPUB when they upload only a PDF.

@Joe___Allen Maybe people who live in rural Wales could group together and elect people to collectively represent their views

> "well-designed rent controls"
> means not applying rent controls, because they know controls suppress housing supply

Imagine this for any other policy

[IPPR @IPPR]

🏚️ Renting in Britain is broken. But there’s a straightforward, low-cost solution.
Well-designed rent controls would protect renters from increasingly unaffordable housing costs, without costing the government billions or undermining housing supply.

A Before and After comparison of a residential building renovation at Achenbachstrasse 43 in Düsseldorf, Germany

In 2021, the original modernist clinic building was demolished and replaced with a new, traditional brick style apartment.

Proof that it can be done.

@MichaelDnes1 When I am a regional mayor I ask for devolution because it’s in my interest, when I am prime minister I enforce centralisation because it’s in my interest.

Is he a hunchback

[James Price @jamespriceglos]

It’s incredible what happens when you put an actual economist next to this fraud.

Well done to @K_Niemietz for demolishing Gary Stevenson’s entire schtick in seconds.

Share this video with all your famous and friends. A total masterclass.

Are Asians skinny because chopsticks are objectively the worst tool to eat rice with

@musestoomuch > the common thread isn't parenthood.. it's sacrifice. what keeps people childish isn't the absence of kids, it's the absence of anything asked of them that they didn't choose for their own amusement.
You wrote this?

@CageFooName Could you enforce it on the restaurant instead? I imagine that would kill off delivery apps

[Matt Krisiloff @mattkrisiloff]

I’m so excited to share this update on @Conception –

We’ve generated the first early human eggs derived from stem cells.

This is a big deal -- the potential to redefine fertility is real.

[Nathan @CaYD4D]

Yes I'm posting through it

Bath sealing going so badly, he's googling "Is there a sort of retainer for handymen, like there is for lawyers?"

The BBC isn't bothering to check their articles now

@TomChivers @NickOresme I imagine you'd cool your house enough during the day (while there's lots of sun) that you wouldn't need to run the AC much in the evening, so evening demand shouldn't be too high

[Nathan @CaYD4D]

> we're using a freezer as a ghetto air conditioner by putting water in it to freeze, then melting the ice to cool the house down
..
> can we use an air conditioner to efficiently cool the house instead
> no that's illegal

@GjMcGowan @JesseTayRiver dude...

On the longest day of the year, the sun sets in eastern Brazil before Ireland or Scotland.

Refusing to watch netball, but feministly

[Lyman Stone 石來民 🦬🦬🦬 @lymanstoneky]

A $100k baby bonus will create replacement-rate fertility.

Too expensive, right? Wrong. It's not even 5% as expensive as you have heard.

If you are creative about it-- and the Finns are getting creative.

Vauvasampo is the way forward.
