I've written a novel. It is about twins who can turn into a dolphin and an owl, and how that would actually be fairly useless. You can download it for free here: https://t.co/Wi4WbGOzhQ

How do you feel about generative AI? Would you like an entire novel generated for you, printed, and delivered to your door?

@kupeck1 @jayforeman There’s an old station that could be opened up, it’d be expensive to do though. Main point is I’m not sure calling it the windrush line is a good idea if you’re not serving the largest concentration of the windrush community

[George Lewkowicz @TheSuperbard]

The new Windrush line bypasses Brixton. It could stop there, but it literally passes through… #tfl #newlines #overground

So it’s been a long time since I’ve done a thing. Here’s a thing. Let me know what you think, because this is just the short form experiment…

Elon is killing all your friendly fun bots by charging for the API. I was hoping HaikuReply would live forever!

Has the social contract between generations been broken?

A person born in 1956 will on average have have paid £940k in tax during their life, but are forecast to receive state benefits amounting to £1.2m, net £291k.

I think we can all agree, the worst thing about Christmas this year is that paramount plus advert.

[George Lewkowicz @TheSuperbard]

Is this responsible parenting? My son learning his numbers from a @BrewDog advent calendar…

[George Lewkowicz @TheSuperbard]

@CtheLala Having thought the same thing (and tried) it is super difficult to make any such game politically neutral as soon as you start modelling secondary effects.
I think this is why all the games you mention have a simplified (and wrong) approach.
Though an idea for @ThePolicyEngine?

Macroeconomics would benefit from better mass audience video games that let one manage a country's fiscal and monetary policies under different theories.

The "macro" video games that do exist are quite limited in an ideological and gameplay sense. THREAD with examples!

Suggestion: we take 10 minutes from the day Mon-Sat and put the clocks back every Sunday to give us all a regular lie in

@nikhil_woodruff @CentreThinkTank @VoteTrueAndFair @ThePolicyEngine Please feel free to steal chart ideas if they work for you! My next addition was going to be the BBC license fee. I’ll take a look through your code when I’m off work

[George Lewkowicz @TheSuperbard]

@nikhil_woodruff @CentreThinkTank @VoteTrueAndFair @ThePolicyEngine Thanks I will sort that out! Though looks like your work at the Policy Engine has gone a lot further.

[George Lewkowicz @TheSuperbard]

@CentreThinkTank @VoteTrueAndFair @ThePolicyEngine What an excellent tool!

[George Lewkowicz @TheSuperbard]

So in terms of votes for the prime minister we’ve gone from: the UK public, to Conservative Party members, to no-one?
