The results of the world’s largest trial of a 4-day week (with no loss of pay) are out:

▪️ No drop in revenue

▪️ 65% fewer sick days

▪️ 71% less burnout

▪️ 92% of companies decide to keep the policy after the trial

The conclusion is clear: we need a shorter working week.

Rishi Sunak and his wife are worth £730 million.

To put that into context, their personal wealth is more than the £500 million he allocated, as Chancellor, to the Household Support Fund to help ALL struggling households over the next six months.

Remember when the head of the UN World Food Program laid out a plan to spend $6 billion to combat hunger after Musk said he would give them the money if they came up with a plan?

And then he never gave them a cent but wants to spend $43 billion to buy Twitter.

Well that didn't take long. We decided to take a trip on Amtrak with the kids for spring break. 9 hours into a pleasant ride, a man was suddenly standing next to me, shouting across me at my 6yo son, "Remember what I told you. They stole you. They're pedophiles." 🧵

Why were Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak only fined £50 for hosting lockdown parties but some ordinary people fined £10,000?

When I heard that GRIPNR wanted to combine #DnD and NFTs I didn’t think much of it. Then I dug a little deeper—turns out they weren’t just minting PC portraits, but fundamentally changing the TTRPG, turning it into something selfish and sad.
